Exuding true charm and charisma of its late 1800's era, this beautiful historic home remains an iconic feature of Tasmania's unique history.
Constructed by Henry Chesterman, Henriville' greets passersby with an impression of grandeur; carted from Port Arthur on the famous May Queen (now resident in Hobart's Constitution Dock), materials used in the construction of the home include solid convict cut Sandstone blocks which adorn the entire facade whilst further intricate brickwork, which is also convict crafted, has been exposed inside the home and given the appreciation it deserves.
From the moment you enter the home, you are captivated by the enduring elements that make this a truly stunning property; polished floor boards dress the central hall and make an appearance throughout further rooms within the adaptable floor plan. Holding superb original features of high ceilings, picture rails, delicate ceiling roses and an impressive central timber stairwell, enables the home to carry forth and blend with a contemporary lifestyle.
Recent updates to the home include the fabulous open plan kitchen / dining and living room, providing a social hub for living and entertaining; a sensational AGA Stove takes centre stage in the kitchen, surrounded by exposed handmade bricks evokes distinct reminders of the past. Connection to the private rear yard allows for alfresco occasions and supervised enjoyment for children and pets.
Abundant accommodation is found over two levels, the upstairs layout enables a solely dedicated parents retreat of renovated bedroom and private en-suite facilities, whilst a further three dormer bedrooms, comfortably accommodate their own domain, with both single or double set ups and access to a central bathroom providing an ideal family floor plan; ducted heating / cooling throughout this level manages the temperature for year round comfort.
An adaptable layout on the main level, lends itself to a myriad of lifestyle options to suit individual needs; further bedrooms and a study and possibly even a library are additional to the spacious front sitting and dining rooms, all with fireplaces which reflect a distinct personality. A central bathroom also provides convenient facilities to the ground floor living and guest needs.
A substantial 1092m2 allotment enjoys a quiet, secure and private domain with ample parking and outbuildings. This splendid family home within the heart of a prominent precinct, promises a lifestyle of privacy and convenience to all lifestyles. A true reminder of Tasmania's history is awaiting your appreciation.
