Last Listing description (December 2018)

This incredible and rare estate in Lenah Valley is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a part of significant Hobart history, while enjoying the modern upgrades that have been made to bring this home into the 21st century.

While retaining its historic charm, Ellingly circa 1891 enjoys stylish restorations and renovations. Entering the vestibule, the original high ceilings overhead and polished floorboards underfoot are striking, with a stained-glass window adorning the entrance to the wide hallway.

The stunning and bright drawing room features large bay windows which allow the natural morning light to flood the space, looking out onto the landscaped estate and beyond. This room is home to an original marble fireplace and a decadent chandelier.

The first bedroom in this wing of the home has a triangular bay window, also enjoying the morning sunlight. The bedroom has its original fireplace and has been modernised for comfort with an electric wall-mounted heater.

The second bedroom next door also retains its original fireplace with mantle and is sizable with plenty of room to live comfortably and fit all the essentials.

Down the hallway sits a third bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out onto the veranda and immaculate grounds below. This room also has its original fireplace and an electric wall-mounted heater for year-round comfort.

In the homes second wing, a large fourth bedroom sits. Nearby, the living room features a fireplace and gives a glimpse into the incredible history of the property with original servant bells still sitting high on the wall.

The kitchen has been stylishly renovated leaving no stone unturned. The large island marble bench space has its own sink and dishwasher, while doubling as a breakfast bar to enjoy the views over the Valley from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Two other bench spaces sit opposite, with a stand-alone oven and cooktop, double sink and a dedicated wine fridge for convenience. The draws and cupboards are all soft-close, and to the rear of the large pantry sits a liquor cupboard for easy storage.

Into the lounge/dining room, large bay windows allow for a relaxed space to enjoy the garden views. The original ceiling roses sit overhead with an elegant chandelier at its centre. This room opens out on to the veranda, allowing for indoor-outdoor entertaining with ease.

The internal laundry with sleek grey benchtops has ample storage and cupboard space, and room for under-bench appliances. Additional storage is located in the hallway, with two large linen closets.

At the rear of the home, an enclosed sandstone courtyard and garden awaits, the perfect space for year-round outdoor entertaining.

Accessed from the courtyard, the butlers quarters are now used as self-contained accommodation ideal for guests or extended family use with its own kitchenette and fully equipped bathroom.

The wings of this seemingly endless home are linked by the undercover veranda that wraps around the house, with moulded posts and lacework. The incredible established landscaped gardens frame the entrance and surrounds.

The secure garage and workshop space has plenty of space to house multiple vehicles and to store large household items. The private driveway allows for additional off-street parking, with the ability to park directly at the homes entrance.

The gardens of this incredible estate have been immaculately maintained and cared for, with decades-old trees and perfectly pruned bushes. A stroll around the lawns show just how vast and magical this property is.

A true hidden gem, but conveniently located close to shops, medical and transportation, this home provides a window into old-world charm while allowing you to live in modern luxury in the heart of Lenah Valley.
