Federation delight in exclusive Battery Point Perfectly positioned within Hobart’s most exclusive suburb, Battery Point, showcasing exemplary early 1900 Federation architecture with exquisite style and grace, sits a remarkable property encompassing two separate dwellings, optimised for spacious family living or incredible investment potential. Boasting spectacular views across the River Derwent and nearby Sandy Bay marina, the property’s position is second-to-none, with Short Beach and picturesque Marrieville Esplanade less than a minute away by foot. The iconic village of Battery Point, Salamanca, and Hobart’s waterfront, are also mere minutes from each doorstep. Original, ornate period pieces are on full display throughout, with an exposed sandstone wall, iron lace, decorative fretwork, pitched roofing, and a fabulous wrap-around verandah with federation baluster. These classic attributes now seamlessly blend with modern additions, creating a stunning combination of both old-world and contemporary style. Coveted within the popular suburb, the larger apartment enjoys an off-street parking space. Sprawled across three generous levels, the residence is currently configured as two units, one encompassing the first two levels, and the other occupying the upper-floor. Ideal for lease, the larger of the two returns up to $630 per week, with the rental assessment on the upstairs villa fetching $450 per week; a combined weekly total of $1080. With properties of this calibre in high demand, the potential for short-term accommodation, such as AirBnB, is also attractive. The residence is nestled upon an expansive allotment, allowing for an opportunity to develop by expanding the main residence, or the addition of a beautiful, terraced garden, basking in the northern sunshine. Beginning within the first unit, the expansive living space spans the entire ground floor. Upstairs, the long hallway leads to the sheltered verandah where the stunning water, mountain, and suburban views are best enjoyed. The kitchen comes fully equipped with modern appliances, ample storage, and room to dine in. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms await, with tiled floors, and converted fireplaces. The bathroom exudes luxury, with a deluxe spa bath encased by marble. The laundry sits neatly adjacent. The second apartment features light-filled, open-plan living, which incorporates the contemporary kitchen, complete with modern amenities, ample storage, and large countertops. The double bedroom features built-in wardrobes, and the bathroom mirrors its neighbour in elegant style, with marble tiles, gold accents, and a spa bath. There’s also a toilet, vanity, and a shower, with a laundry nearby. Occupying a truly enviable position within the tightly held enclave of Battery Point, boasting magnificent views, and considerable potential to invest, develop, or reside within the historically significant home, this impressive Federation property affords a superior lifestyle with a prestigious address to match.
