Occupying one of Battery Point's most prestigious and aspirational addresses, this remarkable residence captures some of the suburb's most spectacular panoramic views across the River Derwent and beyond.
Perfectly balancing soul, comfort and sophistication, the home blends timeless heritage style with modern luxury, offering an exceptional lifestyle in Hobart's most sought-after enclave.
Originally built circa 1857, the property's historic cottage has been thoughtfully extended to create a spacious and versatile family haven, where every element has been designed to accommodate contemporary living while preserving its character and charm.
Leadlight windows, period detailing and beautifully proportioned rooms speak to its heritage, while the modern enhancements provide effortless comfort and flexibility, ideal for multigenerational living.
The entrance level features an elevated lounge room filled with sunshine and with breathtaking vistas that stretch endlessly across the river. Warm and inviting, this living space features reverse cycle air conditioning and wood heating, and opens onto a sun-drenched timber deck perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the view.
Adjacent, the gourmet kitchen combines craftsmanship and style, highlighted by a distinctive Huon pine breakfast bar, stone benchtops, abundant cabinetry and a suite of premium appliances including NEFF ovens, a Miele dishwasher, refrigerator and induction cooktop, all with a water view.
On the lower-ground floor, a second light-filled living area opens directly to a private courtyard surrounded by lush, established gardens. The master bedroom on this level is a serene retreat, featuring two walk-in wardrobes, a stylish en-suite and direct access to the courtyard.
Two additional bedrooms occupy the middle floor, each with built-in wardrobes, while the upper level offers yet another flexible living space that could easily serve as a fifth bedroom if desired, with superb views.
A dedicated study or home office adds practicality, complete with in-built cedar shelving and an original decorative fireplace, and this space could also serve as another bedroom.
The main bathroom is beautifully appointed, with a shower, vanity, toilet and an indulgent freestanding oval bath that exudes modern luxury. Extensive storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout, including under the stairs, beneath the house and within generous hallway linen cupboards.
Outside, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens bursting with greenery and flowering plants, creating a tranquil setting with plenty of space to relax and unwind. The home's street presence is striking, complemented by a gated driveway with off-street parking for one vehicle and an electric vehicle charging station.
Further highlights include solar panels, a ducted vacuum system and a comprehensive security and alarm system, ensuring both efficiency and peace of mind. A large laundry offers ample space for appliances and essentials, with direct outdoor access.
