Welcome to ‘Stella Maris,’ one of Hobart’s exceptional mid-century properties.
This stunning home stands out from the rest! Cleverly upgraded with exceptional quality and a perfect mix of 1950s Australian charm, you will immediately see this property’s extraordinary value. Sweeping surrounding river views are captured throughout the home. The prestigious address is located within a most desirable quiet and central residential area in an elevated position, offering perfect privacy with only a 5-minute walk to the famous Hinsby Beach.
Spanning three levels on a prime 2060 square meter block, it features 433 square meters (approx) of interior space, a garage, and an extensive workshop. Ample living spaces include three generous bedrooms with walk-in and built-in robes, three modern bathrooms (including luxury ensuite with spa to master), one powder room, a fantastic open plan spacious living-kitchen-dining area with quality appliances incorporating a chef central working island bench, a second split level formal living and dining room with attractive wood panelled wine appreciation room, an impressive entry foyer with tiled floors, upstairs multi-purpose living/media room with conjoined sunroom, leading out to the rooftop balcony – an elegant interior offering a brilliant, versatile floorplan. The upstairs floorplan offers the ability to create a self-contained area with a kitchenette, bathroom, and a large living area with a private entrance already in situ.
My favourite areas on the home’s second level are the master bedroom and the media/living/sunroom. What a privilege to wake up every morning and look out upon the bay with access to the fabulous and extensive balcony. The first part of the master bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a luxury bathroom equipped with a spa bath; as you move through the room, you come across the seating area, and further around the room, you have a large open walk-in closet that a fashion enthusiast would embrace. The second is the living/media/sunroom, which gives you that essential indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining family and friends. Access to the balcony is through a heavenly-lit space with a glass rooftop equipped and ready for an outdoor kitchen area; guests will quickly assemble on the balcony with a pre-dinner cocktail while looking at the panoramic view that stretches to Dennes Point. Additionally, the balcony is a sublime place to view and photograph the Aurora Australis Southern Lights display.
Externally, the lower level offers a double carport, single garage, and separate workshop with original feature porthole windows. Internal access from the garage could be restored through a conjoining cloakroom in the entry foyer. You are surrounded by delightful mature landscaped gardens with various trees and plants offering displays during all seasons. The generous 2060 sqm block may hold further development potential STCA. Extensive outdoor courtyards, garden arches, and retaining walls create the bones of these magical gardens.
Other features include a gas feature fireplace, three reverse-cycle heat pumps, panel heating, underfloor insulation, 44 solar panels, and an alarm.
