Bellerive House originally known as Highlander House is one of the original historic mansions on the sunny Eastern Shore. A federation residence built in 1900 with commanding views over the Derwent capturing the city of Hobart skyline with Mount Wellington in the background. The house is situated on a corner block with driveway and entrance easily accessible off Ormond Street.

The house has solid double brick walls keeping the interior well insulated and whisper quiet. Period features abound with original stained glass, commanding staircase, plaster work, wood floors and eight charming fireplaces. The interior has been modernised to suit its former life as a boutique hotel where 3 rooms were available at the $250 a night price point.
Many features such as 3 double bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms, bespoke custom cabinetry built to house bar fridges and televisions and charming name plates on the doors all remain which would make its conversion back to a hotel seamless should you wish to try your hand as a hotelier.

Downstairs towards the back of the house is the former managers quarters consisting of bedroom adjoining a study/ sitting area, walk in robe and private bathroom. This space would be perfect for a home-based business with separate access, or conversion into self-contained quarters, ideal to rent out or utilise for multigenerational living. The property would also be perfect for young children and pets with secure, private fencing and close proximity to a plethora of quality schools.

The photos speak for themselves showing a grand entrance foyer with 2 commanding reception rooms off to each side, a formal dining room, modernised kitchen with double ovens and family sitting area with French doors leading to an enticing outdoor entertaining area. What the photos don’t show is underfloor heating and heated towel rails in the upstairs bathrooms, NBN, ample power points, electric gate, 2 gas instantaneous hot water systems, gas cooking, easy care gardens with established trees, raised veggie beds and a powered shed offering ample storage for the lawn mower, tools and toys such as scooters, golf clubs and kayaks.

The property is conveniently located close to both Bellerive Village and Eastlands shopping centre. An easy 5-minute stroll to restaurants, gyms, shopping and the cinema and a 10-minute drive to the Hobart CBD. A hop skip and jump away from Kangaroo Bay and endless walking and bike tracks. Enjoy having the likes of the commuter ferry to Hobart CBD, Kangaroo Bay famers market and the Clarence jazz festival at your fingertips.

Don’t delay after a serious price drop this one won’t last long.
