PROPERTY purchasing opportunities in Battery Point are always worth consideration, and here is not one but two that are bound to impress.

Nestled among some of the city’s finest homes sits this remarkable Georgian property.

This Hampden property is presented as two residences with the adjoining cottages occupying the one title.

While enjoying separate entrances and privacy, each home has a synergy with one another and come completely furnished with pieces designed to enhance their sophisticated surrounds.

Under current ownership, ‘Colonial Hampdens’ has been welcoming guests since 2018, with hundreds of five-star reviews.

Essentially mirroring each other in layout, with subtle design and decor differences, each address has been elegantly transformed into stylish, contemporary dwellings while retaining their original 1840s period character and charm.

The light-filled, open plan living spaces within both homes feature gas heating within converted fireplaces, dining spaces illuminated by designer, low-hung lighting, and they incorporate lavish kitchens, too. This includes solid benchtops, skylights and an abundance of storage space. The culinary spaces are fully equipped with high-end appliances, including electric stovetops, an oven, dishwasher, rangehood, fridge and microwave.

Cottage No.9 features an additional sitting room, while No.7 contains a builtin breakfast bar. There is potential for a home office.

Reverse-cycle airconditioning adds to the comfortable living conditions within both homes.

Each residence offers two bedrooms, and each is flooded with natural light.

The bedrooms at the front of the cottages feature plantation shutters and stunning views of the historic street. The second bedrooms contain skylights.

The bathrooms are sumptuously spacious and fully tiled from floor-toceiling. Frameless, walk-in glass showers in each provide luxury, while solid countertops cleverly house laundry appliances.

Entertaining is made easy with secluded, secure courtyards at the rear of the property.

The sun-soaked, outdoor spaces are framed by low-maintenance greenery and manicured hedging.

At the front of the home, landscaped box hedges line the opulent entrance.

Completing the property, a full-length front veranda offers the perfect vantage point to gaze upon the River Derwent and the homes and rooftops of Battery Point and beyond.

The property offers multiple living options, with the opportunity to owneroccupy, strata title (STCA), lease, or continue as luxury, short-term accommodation within a prestigious and historic suburb.
