A rare offering within one of Battery Point's most tightly held streets, this beautifully restored 1858 residence delivers timeless character, sophisticated contemporary updates and an enviable lifestyle address.
Positioned behind a charming white picket fence on the coveted eastern side of Napoleon Street, 8 Napoleon Street forms part of the historic "Mr Watson's Cottages" a distinguished row of four double-brick homes originally built to house workers from the nearby shipyard. Rich in history and impeccably maintained, the residence is a striking example of Hobart's early architectural heritage, thoughtfully reimagined for modern living.
Inside, the home unfolds with warmth and understated elegance. An open-plan living and dining domain is framed by high ceilings, original timber floorboards and a feature electric fireplace, creating an inviting atmosphere that feels both refined and relaxed. Two generous bedrooms occupy the main level, each appointed with built-in robes, while recent upgrades including double glazing, new carpet and a brand new roof installed this month further enhance comfort and peace of mind.
A split-level design leads to the beautifully renovated kitchen, where stone benchtops, Smeg appliances, induction cooking and soft-close cabinetry combine functionality with contemporary style. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the indoor-outdoor entertaining zone offers the perfect setting for long lunches, evening drinks or relaxed gatherings with family and friends.
The main bathroom has been thoughtfully designed with heated tiled flooring, a spacious walk-in shower and excellent storage, complemented by a discreet European laundry.
Privately positioned upstairs, the loft-style third bedroom captures picturesque water views across the River Derwent, adding yet another layer of charm to this exceptional home.
Further highlights include reverse cycle heating and cooling and an off-street car space on title with rear access via Derwent Lane
Widely regarded as one of Hobart's most desirable lifestyle addresses, Napoleon Street places you moments from the iconic Shipwrights Arms, waterfront walks, Salamanca Place and the vibrant cafes, boutiques and restaurants of Battery Point.
Peaceful and picturesque, yet only minutes from the CBD, this is a home of rare character and enduring appeal in one of Tasmania's most prestigious settings.
