Ideally situated within one of Hobart's most coveted enclaves, where history, convenience, and prestige unite, 15 and 17 Waterloo Crescent stand as rare jewels of Battery Point living.
Classified by the National Trust and proudly listed on the Tasmanian Heritage Register, these remarkable properties offer a unique opportunity to secure not one but two historic cottages across a single title, a rare offering in this tightly held suburb.
Set upon an expansive 867 sqm allotment, the park-like gardens create a serene, private sanctuary at the rear of the property, with flourishing florals, lush lawns, a magnificent English oak tree that presides over the property. The views are superb, sweeping out across the river from the rear, and of the iconic tower of St. George's church.
The grounds are large enough to be gated for privacy between the two residences, making the property ideal for extended families, multi-generational living, short-term accommodation, or the potential (STCA) to combine into one substantial home.
Number 15 is the larger of the two residences and is filled with light and warmth, offering three generous bedrooms and an open-plan living and dining space that embraces its garden aspect. Year-round comfort is assured with reverse-cycle air, and electric heating within the bedrooms, and hallway.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with quality timber cabinetry, stone countertops, and premium appliances including an induction cooktop, Miele dishwasher, and AEG oven.
Indoors extend out from the dining and living space to an all-weather terrace overlooking the gardens, providing the perfect setting for entertaining or enjoying the tranquillity year-round.
Beneath number 15 lies a self-contained basement apartment with a separate entrance via the side gate, ideal for short-term accommodation, guests, or an independent retreat. This modern, private space includes two bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, a living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with glossy white cabinetry and quality appliances, and a stylish bathroom.
Number 17 is warm and inviting, featuring a front living room with custom-built timber shelving and gas heating nestled within the original fireplace, complemented by reverse-cycle air conditioning for comfort. Additionally, there is an efficient heater within the hallway.
At the rear, the casual living and dining space opens to a sun-drenched balcony and to a private courtyard garden, seamlessly connecting to a modern kitchen with near-new Westinghouse dishwasher, AEG oven, Bosch electric cooktop, and generous storage.
The sunny bedroom contains built-in wardrobes and enjoys plenty of sun via a skylight. The central bathroom features cosy underfloor heating and heated town rails, a shower, toilet, and two vanities, with ample space to house laundry facilities.
Both cottages enjoy off-street parking, beautiful street appeal with fenced front gardens, and plentiful storage throughout, including a dedicated garden shed. The grounds also feature productive vegetable beds, an apple tree, and a hot house and potting shed, and each features an internal courtyard which invite sunshine into the bathrooms and living areas.
The address itself is the pinnacle of convenience, with Battery Point village, Salamanca, the waterfront, Sandy Bay, and the shops and services of Hobart's CBD all within an easy stroll.
This remarkable property is more than a home, but a generational opportunity to own an iconic piece of Battery Point's history while enjoying every comfort of modern living, all set within one of Hobart's most prestigious and exclusive streetscapes.
