$2,600,000
Presiding over an iconic streetscape in Battery Point, nestled amongst some of the city’s finest and most stately homes, sits a remarkable Georgian property containing two Gorgeous dwellings in one of Hobart’s most desired locations.
The property is presented as two residences, with the adjoining cottages occupying the one title, while enjoying separate entrances and privacy. Each home comes completely furnished with pieces designed to enhance their sophisticated surroundings.
The property offers multiple living options, with the opportunity to owner-occupy, strata-title (STCA), lease, or continue as luxury, short-term accommodation within the historic suburb. Under current ownership, ‘Colonial Hampdens’ has been welcoming guests since 2018, with hundreds of five-star reviews.
Essentially mirroring each other in layout, with subtle design and décor differences, each address has been elegantly transformed into stylish, contemporary dwellings while retaining their original period character and charm, c1840.
The light-filled, open plan living spaces within both homes feature gas heating within converted fireplaces, dining spaces illuminated by designer, low-hung lighting, and incorporate lavish kitchens with solid benchtops, skylights, and an abundance of storage space. The culinary spaces are fully equipped with high-end appliances, including electric stovetops, an oven, dishwasher, rangehood, fridge, and microwave.
Cottage number 7 features an additional, casual sitting room, while number 9 contains a built-in breakfast bar, or space for a home office.
Each residence contains two bedrooms, all flooded with natural light. The bedrooms at the front of the cottages feature plantation shutters and a lovely outlook over the historic streetscape.
The bathrooms are sumptuously spacious, and fully tiled from floor-to-ceiling. Frameless, walk-in glass showers in each provide luxury, with solid countertops that cleverly house laundry appliances with space for storage.
Stemming from indoors, entertaining is made easy with secluded, secure courtyards at the rear of the property. The sun-soaked, outdoor spaces are framed by low-maintenance greenery and manicured hedging. At the front of the home, landscaped box hedges line the opulent entrance.
Completing the property, a full-length front verandah offers the perfect vantage point to gaze upon the majestic River Derwent and wonderfully preserved Victorian homes and rooftops of Battery Point and beyond.
A rare offering in such a tightly held locale, the quintessential Georgian property occupies a truly coveted position in Battery Point, with the convenience of the village and its thriving café culture, and all within walking distance of Salamanca, Hobart’s waterfront, and CBD, to be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
