6 Webber Street, Moonah, Tas 7009

Hidden amidst extensive private grounds, this circa 1830's Old Colonial Georgian home presents a rare lifestyle opportunity for you to live on over 2,950sqm of land in suburbia, and still be less than 10 minutes drive from Hobart!   First time on the market in 44 years, "Claremont House - Moonah" as it was originally known, is now looking for a new family to cherish and slowly restore this unforgettable historic residence.  The beautiful sandstone structure with corner quoins, grand verandah connecting the two projecting end bays of the home, upstairs bedrooms with dormer window and twelve paned windows are all features characteristic of the Old Colonial Georgian era.  The enormous size of this residence allows for a versatile layout, easily accommodating extended families with its current configuration.  

Originally built by Robert Giblin for his family of eight children, the home itself offers a rare glimpse into the past with two clearly defined "sections" while accommodating modern comforts.   The home is currently one entire residence and does not need to be modified to be such and features five spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms.   Among its many unique attributes, "Claremont" includes servants' quarters, complete with a bell system that once summoned service from any part of the house and includes its own basic kitchen, bedroom, lounge, bathroom and external entrance off the front verandah.   The home does however, need some attention to the maintenance issues that a property of this size warrants if left unattended over time.   While the owner has adored this property, they have been unable to give it the full attention such a grand property needs to retain its gracious appearance, beautiful gardens and timeless elegance.  

The property sits on an expansive piece of land spanning two titles, providing ample space for gardening, room for children to explore and play outside safely, or potential for future improvements subject to council approvals of course.  It does not suit unit development due to its heritage status.  The rear kitchen/dining area benefits from underfloor heating, ensuring warmth and comfort during the colder months. This area was part of an extension and renovation undertaken in the 1980s, blending modern convenience with the home's historic features.

Inside, the Oregan timber floors in the original section of the home, exude a sense of warmth and solidity, while the huge under-house cellar, which doubles as a storeroom, adds a touch of rustic charm and sense of intrigue.  "Claremont's" heritage and architectural significance make it not just a home, but a piece of living history, providing a snapshot into the lifestyle of a bygone era and allowing the exciting opportunity for a new family to add their own mark and once again fill the walls of this home with laughter, love and memories that will last a lifetime.
