42 Colville Street, Battery Point, Tas 7004

Steeped in history and radiating charm, this stunning Battery Point residence, elevated to capture spectacular water views, seamlessly blends the character of its circa-1850s origins with the luxuries of contemporary living. 

Spanning three storeys, the home boasts sweeping views across the River Derwent, delivering a lifestyle that is both picturesque and sophisticated. At the heart of the home, the mid-level offers a seamless flow from indoor living to an impressive entertaining deck.

Accessible through bi-fold and sliding doors, this outdoor space is perfect for hosting guests while enjoying unparalleled views of the water, and a front-row seat to the vibrant marine activity, including the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. 

Preserving its historic roots, the residence features polished timber flooring, high ceilings, and original fireplaces. The well-appointed kitchen is thoughtfully designed for functionality and style, located within the dining area and equipped with premium appliances, abundant storage, and quality finishes.

The versatile floorplan provides up to four bedrooms, with two on the entrance level and another on the lower-ground level. The lower-ground space, with exposed stone walls, offers the flexibility to be used as a bedroom, living area, or rumpus room. The master suite occupies the entire upper floor, featuring a walk-in wardrobe, an opulent en-suite with dual amenities, a charming window seat, and breathtaking water views.

The main bathroom, located on the middle floor, is a showcase of style with striking tiling, a semi-circular shower, a bath, and captivating views. Laundry facilities are housed on the lower-ground level, bookended by secure storage areas. 

Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens burst with colour and greenery, framing the entrance, and offering a tranquil backyard retreat. Further outdoor entertaining is positioned within, with a sheltered courtyard, and sun-drenched timber decking. Practicality is also well considered, with roller-door access to secure off-street parking.

Updates and renovations have been carried out, including exterior painting, the installation of LED lights and reverse-cycle air, and this year, most recently the installation of vacuum-insulated double glazing, repairs and the re-hanging of timber windows, and a renovated and repaired roof. 

From its wonderful position, the delights of Battery Point are all within a short stroll from the front door, including famed restaurants, cafes, and boutique stores within the iconic village, Salamanca and the waterfront, and the major shopping hubs of Sandy Bay and Hobart's CBD are also within close proximity. 

Showcasing spectacular water views and sun-filled comfort, this remarkable home presents a rare opportunity to own a slice of historic Battery Point, reimagined for modern living to offer an enviable lifestyle in one of Hobart's most sought-after suburbs.
