Overview

This beautifully maintained and updated 1900 period house offers an exceptional opportunity to live in Hobart’s prestigious Battery Point, a suburb noted for its historic charm and proximity to the city centre. With a land size of approximately 213 square metres and a comfortable floor area of 119 square metres, the property strikes an excellent balance between manageable outdoor space and interior living.

The home has been tightly held for over 20 years, reflecting its desirability. Recent improvements such as a roof restoration, a new front deck under the classic bullnose veranda, and a rear sunny courtyard with an entertainment deck enhance both its aesthetic appeal and functional outdoor living capacity. The courtyard also features a productive lemon tree contributing to the property's welcoming ambiance.

Inside, the property retains beautifully restored hardwood floorboards, lending a warm, authentic character typical of early 20th-century homes. The large bedrooms benefit from new carpet and honeycomb blinds that improve comfort and energy efficiency. The bathroom area stands out with a spacious walk-in double shower bay and a separate bathtub, demonstrating the property's blend of classic style and modern convenience. New flooring in the laundry and bathroom further complements the home's move-in readiness.

The open-plan lounge and dining area are filled with natural light, creating a bright and inviting living space open to the kitchen, enhancing family interactions and entertaining possibilities. The property's layout and enhancements offer scope for personalized modifications, such as remodeling the bathroom/laundry zone or adding another room subject to council approval, which presents an intriguing long-term value proposition.

Situated within walking distance of Salamanca, local galleries, cafes, restaurants, and the historic Princes Park, this home provides access to vibrant cultural and social amenities. The famous Jackman & McRoss bakery is less than 200 metres away, offering a unique lifestyle advantage. The location also provides privacy, security, and beautiful views of Mount Wellington, with a glimpse of the waterfront visible from the front fence.

With energy-efficient reverse cycle heating and cooling, and reasonable rates and water costs, the property combines lifestyle, comfort, and functionality in a highly sought-after area. Battery Point’s well-established community atmosphere and close proximity to Hobart’s CBD, waterfront precinct, and Sandy Bay shopping zone make this a compelling choice for those valuing urban convenience alongside historic charm.
