Steeped in history and timeless elegance, this stunning circa 1880 residence, “Holten”, occupies an enviable position that balances serene privacy with effortless access to the dynamic North Hobart precinct.
Mere moments from the area’s renowned restaurants, cafés, boutique shopping, and the iconic State Cinema, this exquisite home delivers unparalleled convenience without compromising on tranquillity.
The property’s captivating street presence is framed by manicured hedges and ornamental trees, set gracefully behind classic white picket fencing. From the moment of entry via the verandah, the home welcomes with warmth and charm, where original period details have been lovingly preserved and enhanced.
Throughout the home, Baltic pine flooring, striking sandstone walls, original stained-glass, high ceilings, and ornate cornices create a rich tapestry of historic beauty, seamlessly integrated with modern updates for contemporary living. Adding a bespoke touch, two Luke Wagner mirrors further elevate the home’s character and style.
A sun-drenched, spacious lounge on the upper level enjoys a leafy outlook, complete with a beautifully maintained, functional fireplace. Further living spaces unfold on the lower-ground floor, where an open-plan sitting area with wood heating transitions into a refined family dining space and a sun-drenched atrium with honeycomb blinds.
French doors extend the atrium’s ambience into a secluded garden courtyard, where a tranquil stone water feature offers the perfect retreat amidst lush, established greenery.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed for both style and functionality, featuring an exquisite blend of timber and granite countertops, a central island bench, premium appliances, generous cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry.
Upstairs, sumptuous accommodation comprises of four sunlit bedrooms, three with built-in storage and each with an original, now decorative fireplace. The master suite is a standout, with bay windows framing spectacular vistas across the River Derwent. The upper-level living area could easily become a fifth bedroom if required.
The home is serviced by two luxuriously renovated bathrooms, one on each level. Upstairs features a spa bath, shower, toilet, vanity, underfloor heating, heated towel rail, and floating timber shelving. The downstairs bathroom is equally as sophisticated, with a shower, toilet, and vanity. A renovated European laundry complements the home’s refined design.
Outside, the wrap-around verandah overlooks meticulously landscaped gardens, complete with a reticulation watering system, lush lawns, and privacy hedging. In spring, peony rosebushes bloom in all their glory, accompanied by vibrant citrus trees and a breathtaking array of florals, and a Weeping Cherry tree.
Storage is abundant, with cleverly concealed spaces beneath the stairs, hallway linen closet, and a fully lined and powered sizable attic. There is also a workshop, and further storage, beneath the house. The home has previously been re-wired, and re-plumbed, and enjoys complete year-round comfort with electric panel heating, and reverse-cycle air, and under-floor insulation.
Practical additions include off-street parking for one vehicle and the availability of residential permits for additional street parking. The grounds are fully fenced, including a separate gated area, for the safety of children and pets.
With an unbeatable North Hobart location within walking distance to top schooling, fabulous eateries, shops, and services, this remarkable property presents an extraordinary opportunity to secure a piece of Hobart’s rich heritage, reimagined for modern luxury living.
