3 De Witt Street

Battery Point TAS 7004

3 De Witt Street is a stunning example of Victorian Italianate architecture within Tasmania's premiere suburb, Battery Point. The home strikes the balance between old and new from front to rear on a large, entirely level 500m2 allotment. The fully restored masterpiece is situated within the leafy and wide enclave of De Witt Street, one of Battery Point's most tightly held streets. 3 De Witt Street from first glance is enchanting, a well-manicured box hedge surrounds a tiered water fountain leading to the front door and verandah with original lattice work.

Throughout the original part of the home, features such as original cornices, architraves and ceiling roses are emphasised by the care and effort they were restored with. All rooms within the versatile floorplan are generous in proportion and offer an option between bedrooms and comfortable sitting rooms. The main bathroom has marble flooring and underfloor heating coupled with brass tapware, claw foot bath and walk-in shower, providing a stylish and functional space. All rooms within the original area of the home are heated by electric off-peak heaters. There are three rooms on the first floor, all of which are sizable enough for bedrooms, or to be utilised as a study, home office or hobby room.

The modern extension, completed in 2003, is on the Northern side of the home. Floor to ceiling double glazed windows allow for a temperate, sun-drenched living, kitchen and dining room. The rich blackwood kitchen features granite benchtops, built in Miele appliances and butlers pantry. The kitchen, dining and living room are set upon a tiled marble floor with underfloor heating.
