1 Sloane Street, Battery Point TAS 7004

1 Sloane Street, is a sensitively restored, historic home, its timeless elegance and highly functional space exuding a tangible air of comfort. The colours add vigour and vibrancy to the interior. Traditional concepts fused with contemporary touches showcase this stunning residence.

Set in highly desirable Battery Point with river views, this Georgian home had its beginnings in 1839 and was sold to John Watson in 1849 for 480 pounds. From 1857 it spent some years as the Star of Tasmania Inn; the original trapdoor through which barrels were relayed from the street to the sandstone walled cellar can still be seen. The cellar, now restored, is the ideal place to store your favourite wines.

Original features include the fireplaces, polished floors and a unique Huon pine staircase. Superb, formal and casual living areas plus four generous bedrooms or three and a study are warmed by full hydronic gas fired central heating. The flexible floorplan would suit a family as well as a couple who appreciate a comfortable, stylish and convenient Battery Point lifestyle within walking distance to Salamanca Place, the waterfront and the city.

Outside, the very private and sun soaked courtyard is most conducive to outdoor entertaining and the low maintenance grounds are perfect for busy professionals. Off street parking for two vehicles further enhances the appeal of this property.
