OAKINGTON a stone Georgian Circa 1845 home built on one level, offers the epitome of living the Tasmanian dream. The property is in the true heart of Battery Point located opposite manicured parklands which run down to the water front, providing the property with uninterrupted views of the River Derwent. The house has been improved and maintained in keeping with its style of architecture.

The original single storey house was transformed in the 1880′s by the addition of oak timber floored verandahs with central curve, iron balusters and iron brackets. On either side of the main entrance door Tuscan pilasters with parapet and central tympanum were added creating symmetry and a sense of grandeur as you ascend the lovely old sandstone stairs. The twelve pane windows and round-head arched dormers with pilasters, create picture perfect street appeal.

The accommodation provides 3 internal living spaces, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a new Conservatory/dining room with Jetmaster fireplace, pitched ceiling and extensive use of glass to capture the water views. The four bedrooms include 2 charming attic rooms and are serviced by 2 new bathrooms. The original sandstone stables have now been converted into a comfortable guest wing complete with bedroom, living room and bathroom and have been integrated into the main house.

The delightful country feel kitchen with French doors leading to 2 courtyards, is adjacent to the main living room which has new electric and atmospheric wood heating. The kitchen garden provides herbs and seasonal vegetables, while the larger main garden area, with water views, is in the style of a formal parterre garden with box hedging and many scented old-fashioned plants. There is a fountain and fish pond and close by is an arbor covered in roses, jasmine and wisteria.

The recent addition of a double garage, built in keeping with the heritage of the property will certainly add value and security. This property will suit many types of buyers and will attract interest from locals and interstate property owners awaiting their opportunity of purchasing a historic property in immaculate condition, adjacent to the water in Battery Point.
