Enjoying a truly world class location, this luxurious and beautifully appointed apartment affectionately known as "The Admirals Suite" is situated in the heart of the historic Sullivans Cove precinct overlooking Constitution Dock. Just one of five exclusive apartments in the building with a secure entrance and two short flights of stairs or a lift for convenience ensures easy access.
The waterside position is superb, on the edge of the central business district, a leisurely stroll to catch the ferry to MONA...a fine selection of eateries, top class hotels and fine dining, as well as iconic, bustling Salamanca Place. The Botanical Gardens and St Davids Park are nearby, in addition to leisure activities in the tennis and aquatic centres on the Domain.
Rich in maritime history and the site of the old Henry Jones IXL Jam factory, this exceptional apartment circa 1825 is totally authentic with sandstone walls, original, polished and exposed Oregon timber beams, multi paned windows with wide "window seat-like" sills all stunning features, providing texture, substance and fortunately preserved.
The interiors are contemporary and timeless with lovely soft light providing an ambience difficult to replicate and the building itself reputedly enjoying continual occupancy from inception. Spacious, open plan living and dining with double insulated windows ensuring an even temperature year round and effectively providing a sound proofing quality. A study nook is tucked away in a quiet corner, with a chefs kitchen taking centre stage, an island bench defining the space. Georgian picture windows frame dramatic views of Mt Wellington and the activities of a vibrant historic waterfront.
Patrons represent an eclectic mix of people from fishermen to locals and the well- heeled!
A superb, generously proportioned, private outdoor timber deck at the rear is worthy of note and a point of difference for this genre of property. Two double bedrooms, one with an en suite, enjoy an outlook to the potted garden out there. An additional bathroom and concealed laundry service the accommodation.
At present, the apartment is professionally managed by Sullivans Cove Apartments who oversee short or medium term stays attracting premium rates year round such is the demand and shortage of accommodation in this harbour city.
This is a fantastic opportunity to secure a slice of real estate steeped in history. Hobart has now been discovered and enjoys global appeal as one of the most desirable destinations in which to invest... ease of living, fine produce, great climate, pristine air and environment all within reach!
Hobart Airport is a mere 20 minute drive surrounded by scenic waterways and beaches, a short 50 minute flight to the mainland.
The Admirals Suite is thought to be located on the very site where Hobart was settled in 1804, such is the historical significance of this property.
