Redefining the ultimate statement of sophistication, this home in all its grandeur is a testament to the current owners who have transformed this home above and beyond its original scope, offering a spectacular contemporary twist on what can only be described as the ultimate federation home in Hobart.
Nothing has been left untouched in this home, from top to bottom, lovingly and painstakingly restored, keeping all it’s original charm and character at the forefront of design and practicality. Everything from lead light windows and intricate stain glass work, a magnificent stair case and floorboards, both showcasing stunning natural timbers. Gorgeous fireplaces and mantles, spectacular ceiling roses and cornices, along with the detail in ironmongery, simply sets this home apart from any other of its era. The attention to detail and vision for the new bathrooms, laundry, heating, kitchen, verandah, garden, flooring and roof restorations can assure you that there is nothing that has been left untouched, completing a remarkable package in a home and garden of grand proportions.
The kitchen is a showpiece, and a dream to spend time, relax and entertain family and friends in. The quantum quartz bench tops combined with the Tasmanian Oak floor set against the exposed brick wall creates a striking statement through the glass backdrop overlooking the city that is simply picture perfect, both day and night. Opening directly out onto all three separate entertaining areas from the kitchen and family area to the garden, private courtyard and the verandah this home is an entertainers dream.
With the federation style home, comes the ability to provide flexibility and a myriad of options. The abundance of living areas on the ground level, offer the possibility to provide additional bedrooms should they be required. Upstairs, the upper level offers four King Sized bedrooms, plus a study and a separate bathroom. Whilst the hallway and stairs are finished in polished timbers, each of the bedrooms are luxuriously carpeted for comfort and all four bedrooms provide built in robes.
The original garage has been overhauled to provide a fabulous home office, completely separate to the main house, yet connected in every way to the technology that can run the central hub of any business. The office offers bi fold doors, floating timber floors, heat pump and a picture perfect window that frames the views of the Hobart city scape and uninterrupted water views of the Derwent River, and sits directly above the workshop / gym underneath.
Set upon expansive private gardens, this home deserves your full attention in a personal inspection to truly appreciate the grandeur, and spectacle of this simply amazing home. Conveniently located in close proximity to North Hobart, CBD and the Friends School and with advantageous elevation to enjoy the ultimate city and water views, you must contact Rob Henry, your local area specialist to arrange an inspection of a home that will not be surpassed.
