Beach Holme, Unsurpassed Renovation!
Two years of hard labour have been poured into this grand old lady, circa 1898, and the transformation is simply unsurpassed! The owners impeccable taste shines throughout this stunning light filled home creating a luxurious and sophisticated modern interior behind the beautifully restored late Victorian façade - bridging the gap between past and present.
Many original Victorian period features have been tirelessly sourced or restored, including tiled wrought iron fire places, ceiling roses, decorative cornices, iron lace work and flooring. The striking black and white tessellated veranda tiles have been meticulously replicated and are a beautiful addition to the homes entrance.
Some of the contemporary features of the home include six exquisite, handmade, Italian crystal chandeliers and stylish plantation window shutters throughout.
The superb ground floor entry hall incorporates a sweeping staircase leading to three of the spacious bedrooms, each capturing, either, river and marina or mountain views. The spacious ensuite and family bathroom, on this level, are both elegant with clean lines and a neutral décor. Access to a classic Victorian balcony from the central hallway sets the scene for quiet relaxation whilst admiring the view.
On the lower level, the separate dining room has a warm, welcoming feel and is ideal for both informal and formal gatherings whilst the adjacent spacious living room allows for easy interaction and has a cosy open fire. On the other side of the entrance hall is the superb library room or fifth double bedroom, if required. Adjoining this is the ideal guest bedroom with elegant ensuite and discrete kitchenette for extra self-contained comfort.
At the rear of the home is the stunning new kitchen/family extension incorporating a European style laundry. Top quality appliances, fixtures and fittings have been installed with no expense spared in making this area the functional heart of the home. Furthermore, ample storage and sleek new design features in cabinetry and appliances would impress the most discerning chef. From here, expansive, triple glazed, bi-fold doors open onto a terrace providing easy access to the superb entertainment area below catering for intimate or large group gatherings.
There is also the added bonus of 100m2 of undeveloped roof space for extra accommodation and, of course, more spectacular views. This area is currently utilised for storage and can be accessed via retractable stairs from an upper level bedroom.
A combination of heating systems include natural gas, electric panel heaters and the lovely ambience of open fire heating, ensures the home is always cosy and warm.
The surrounding grounds have been completely renewed and include mature box hedging, lush grassed areas and well established screening trees and plants.
There is also a delightful separate studio/utility room with powder room, 4th WC, and a small garden shed, discreetly hidden from view with plenty of storage room under the house for kayaks, bikes and other recreational toys.
The home has double carport parking with additional off street parking, if required.
So conveniently located on the fringe of Battery Point, and metres to the waterfront of Marieville Esplanade, parks and recreational areas, the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania and Derwent Sailing Squadron. Shopping, restaurants, retail outlets, doctors surgeries, and other amenities of Sandy Bay Village are also only minutes away including the University of Tasmania and private and public schools.
Beach Holme, arguably one of the most impressive homes in Hobart, is a must to inspect if you appreciate the finer things in life and are looking for an impeccably renovated period home of style, sophistication and functionality.
