'Maidstone' circa 1897 is a generously proportioned Federation Queen Anne home, privately hidden from street view and securely positioned behind a gated driveway on an allotment of over 7000sqm of lawns and established grounds. Elevated to take in panoramic views of Hobart's River Derwent, encompassing Wrest Point, Sandy Bay and the city, a tennis court, swimming pool and pool house complement this elegant brick home, culminating in a truly unsurpassed offering within minutes of Hobart's CBD.
Set across one level the floorplan accommodates multiple reception rooms, currently configured as formal living, formal dining and a family room. The kitchen is spacious and the contemporary renovated bathroom with free standing tub and additional powder room services four double bedrooms, the master suite with dressing room. The flexibility of the floorplan affords scope for the next owners to implement updates to suit their accommodation requirements.
Classic original features remain in situ throughout with timber floorboards, ornate plasterwork, fireplaces and surrounds, leadlight accents and picture rails enhancing the ambience and character of the home and displaying a level of craftsmanship unobtainable in modern builds. Rooms at the front of the house enjoy picturesque water views and access to the front verandah, and gas hydronic heating ensures year round comfort.
The self-contained pool house with bathroom facilities is located directly off the pool deck and adjacent to the tennis court, providing the convenience of guest accommodation separate to the main house.
Fortunately much has been documented on the history of Maidstone, with this 1894 subdivision heralding the development of the higher reaches of Elphinstone Road as a popular residential area for Hobart's wealthier citizens in the early 1900s. This pocket of Mount Stuart is now sought after for its sunny position and close proximity to excellent local schools and amenities, with the State Cinema and cafes, bars and restaurants of the popular North Hobart strip a short stroll away.
An enduring and impressive piece of Tasmania's history, Maidstone represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire the rarity of a beautiful historic home and substantial holding offering privacy, tranquillity and mesmerising views in an urban locale.
