WHAT does $1.85 million buy in the hot Hobart market today? How about this simply stunning slice of history.

Size and position matter most.

Harcourts Signature Property representative Nick Cowley said the house offered flexibility for its next owner.

He said the five-bedroom house was currently presented as two apartments.

“It is the type of home that provides multiple living options,” he said.

“You could continue to lease out one or both apartments. Or use the separate residence for extended family.

“There is also the exciting opportunity to uncover the original staircase and return the property to an impressive five-bedroom family home.”

The downstairs apartment is a private sanctuary, the epitome of apartment living.

It has an open plan living area with an updated kitchen featuring Andi stainless steel appliances.

The water is nearby.

The master bedroom feels lavish — fit for a Queen — with its open fire.

There is a second bedroom along with an updated luxury bathroom with high-end fixtures.

Off the living area is a large entertainment deck, which takes in magnificent mountain views over Dynnyrne, Mt Nelson, Sandy Bay to the Royal Yacht Club marina and Wrest Point Casino.

“Apartment living is all about ease of lifestyle and this apartment certainly lives up to this expectation,” Mr Cowley said.

“There is no compromise on space and comfort offered by the upstairs three-bedroom residence.”

Designed for spectacular living to match the highly sought-after Battery Point lifestyle, this space is highlighted by original hardwood floors that extend throughout the open plan living and dining area.

Light and airy.

Each window frames views over Sandy Bay and beyond. Should the owner wish, there is potential to expand with a deck off the living area which would maximise the views.

There are three spacious bedrooms, two featuring original fireplaces and one with a bay window overlooking the front garden.

The luxurious modern bathroom features floor-to-ceiling tiles, a wooden vanity, walk-in twin head shower and a sleek bathtub.

Perfectly positioned behind a white picket fence, No.12 is located just six houses from the Errol Flynn Reserve and beach, a short walk from Salamanca Place as well as Hobart’s waterfront restaurants, cafes and shops.

The property occupies a commanding position within Hobart’s most prestigious and sought after suburb Battery Point.

Per new realestate.com.au figures, Battery Point has Tasmania’s highest median house price at $1.61m.

In the past year it has increased 15 per cent, and 65.5 per cent over the last five years.

The typical time it takes to sell a Battery Point house is just nine days.
