Five independent residences behind one gracious Battery Point address
What you see from St Georges Terrace is only the beginning.
Behind one of Battery Point's most distinguished historic façades lies a property of remarkable rarity and unexpected scale.
Edgehill presents from the street as one substantial period residence, yet beyond its elegant frontage it gradually reveals five self-contained homes, five off-street parking spaces, established rental income and extraordinary flexibility for its next owner.
The property has evolved over generations. An earlier cottage fronts St Georges Terrace alongside the later and grander residence, whose façade still bears the date 1880. Contemporary records place the Plunkett family at “Edge Hill Cottage, St Georges Terrace” in that same year, while the historic EDGEHILL name survives within the property today.
Rather than feeling like a conventional apartment complex, the residences form an intimate collection within one historic Battery Point holding, each with its own character, privacy and relationship to the surrounding gardens, courtyards and changing harbourside light.
Across approximately 396m², the accommodation comprises a generous two-storey two-bedroom residence, a separate two-bedroom residence, two one-bedroom apartments and the detached studio cottage known as Marie's Harbour.
Period character remains throughout, including high ceilings, fireplaces, timber floors, bay windows and leadlight details, while private and semi-private outdoor spaces create an unexpected sense of separation and retreat.
The position is equally compelling. Salamanca Place, Battery Point Village, the waterfront and Hobart CBD are all within easy walking distance, while various parts of Edgehill enjoy outlooks across the marina, River Derwent, Wrest Point and kunanyi/Mount Wellington.
And in a precinct where parking is at a premium, five off-street parking spaces provide exceptional practicality, complemented by substantial workshop, storage and communal utility areas.
Continue the established investment. Create a Hobart base while retaining substantial income. Accommodate extended family independently but close together. Or simply hold an extraordinary piece of Battery Point and allow its next chapter to evolve over time.
Edgehill combines historic presence, income, parking, views, walkability and genuine adaptability in a way that is exceptionally difficult to replicate.
