Timeless elegance with modern sophistication Nestled within the prestigious Fitzroy Place, one of Hobart’s most tranquil and picturesque streetscapes lined with majestic, age-old trees, this exquisite residence offers a rare blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury. Occupying an expansive 508m² allotment in a peaceful yet central city-fringe location, the original circa 1890s home has been meticulously preserved and enhanced, while a striking modern rear extension elevates the living experience to new heights. The original section of the home exudes character with polished timber flooring, high ceilings, and original timber accents throughout. Decorative fireplaces, ornate mouldings, and a charming staircase reflect the home’s rich heritage. The versatile floorplan includes two generous downstairs bedrooms, one with wood heating, and a further two bedrooms upstairs. A casual sitting room, or study, at the base of the staircase with wood heating provides an inviting space for relaxation. Also included on the lower level a formal sitting room providing further space for families and guests. The heart of the home lies within the ultra-modern extension, where polished concrete flooring sets the tone for sophisticated living. Flooded with natural light, the sun-drenched sitting area and family dining space flow effortlessly to the outdoors. A gourmet kitchen is beautifully appointed with a combination of stone and stainless-steel countertops, including a central waterfall island bench, premium appliances, and a walk-in pantry with the added convenience of laundry facilities. The stunning downstairs bathroom is a sanctuary of style and comfort, featuring a bath, walk-in glass shower, toilet, and a sleek vanity, all bathed in natural light. Upstairs, another modern bathroom contains a shower, vanity, and a toilet. The seamless indoor-outdoor connection leads to a private courtyard and expansive landscaped gardens. The fully fenced yard features terraced lawns, manicured hedging, and mature trees, creating a private and peaceful retreat. The charming front verandah overlooks equally enchanting gardens which contribute to the stunning street appeal, offering additional outdoor space to relax or entertain within a sheltered environment. Secure off-street parking is provided behind a side roller door via the shared driveway adjacent to the property. There is also a large garden shed, and undercover storage at the rear of the backyard. Perfectly positioned just minutes from the Sandy Bay shopping hub and within walking distance to the CBD, Battery Point, Salamanca, and the waterfront, this exceptional property offers an unparalleled lifestyle of elegance and convenience with a highly desirable address.
