Hillgrove is one of Hobart's most recognised historic homes located directly across from the Shot Tower and Glen Albyn Estate in beautiful Taroona.

The property is substantial with three levels of space, five bedrooms and three bathrooms combined with over 26 metres of verandah to fully appreciate the picturesque location.
With a complimentary design providing a flexible layout, the home would suit a large or extended family. The option to return the residence to B&B accommodation is also available.
