This impressive example of federation architecture is perfectly positioned with convenience in every direction of the doorstep, ‘Clairette’ combines contemporary comfort with period style offering a rare opportunity to secure an historic Battery Point residence.

The double-brick two-storey townhouse was constructed in 1915 and has original features including soaring high ceilings, wall-mounted lighting to accentuate displayed artwork and intricate lead lighting at the entrance. Understated elegance flows through the residence which comes fully furnished with pieces befitting its luxurious interior, carefully selected to complement the comforting ambiance with creative flair.

The lower-level combines an open-plan living and dining space and a separate front lounge room with gas wood heater and pure wool carpets. Sunshine floods the area via large sash windows contributing to the optimal living conditions. A glorious upright piano greets guests at the entrance.

The bespoke kitchen, fully equipped with glassware, crockery and cutlery, features quality timber cabinetry and granite stone countertops. Premium appliances complete the tiled culinary space including a brand-new Fisher & Paykel oven with five-burner gas stove and rangehood, a stainless-steel Samsung fridge and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. Additional storage is available within a custom-built display cabinet.

Continuing downstairs a guest bedroom with double French doors is warm and inviting with panel heating and direct access to the side patio. The lower-level bathroom features a glass shower, floating timber vanity with bowl sink and a toilet. The European laundry is tucked neatly out of sight within the garage with whitegoods and ample storage space with retractable clothes drying.

Upstairs, the master bedroom bathes in an abundance of sunshine with skylights within the gently sloping ceiling. Built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage space, and the stylish en-suite comes complete with a luxurious corner spa bath. Views from the private, sunny balcony capture the iconic rooftops of Battery Point. The mezzanine level also contains the all-important home office or third bedroom, with built-in storage space. The home is equipped with enormous storage capacity with even more space within the attic and under the Tas Oak staircase.

Returning to the ground floor the secure garage with remote-controlled roller door is accessed via Hampden Road with off-street parking permits for two additional vehicles obtainable through the Hobart City Council. An additional entranceway adjacent to the garage provides dual access to the home with the main entrance from Sandy Bay Road.

Manicured box hedges line the sandstone path leading to the front door. To the rear of the home a private boutique patio provides outdoor entertaining space coupled with the upper-level balcony and side terrace.

The character-filled home sits in an ideal location within walking distance to the village of Battery Point, supermarkets of Sandy Bay, Salamanca, the CBD and Hobart’s famous waterfront and comes complete with everything needed to move straight in and enjoy a lifestyle within a remarkable home that truly exceeds expectation.
