There is nothing quite like Battery Point’s 1870s-built Vernon.
Distinguished, luxurious, architecturally and historically significant — it is a property that has long been admired for good reason.
St Andrews Estate Agents director Steve Yannarakis said Vernon is among Tasmania’s very finest properties.
It is a special property that is impeccably presented and always grabs people’s attention when it comes to the market, he said.
“Since we launched, the level of inquiry has been strong. This includes locals and people from interstate, from Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales in particular,” Mr Yannarakis said.
“For people that love stately, historically significant homes, Vernon is right there at the top of the wish list for many.
“It’s akin to something you might find in the country, with its parklike grounds and sprawling multi-level home.

“It’s extraordinary to think that Vernon is located within one of our most densely populated suburbs.
“Vernon is private, north-facing, and it has the most expansive lawns and gorgeous gardens.
“And then the interior of the home, that is something to behold — spacious, opulent, ornate, and quite the opposite of Battery Point’s commonly smaller homes and historic cottages.
“Vernon benefits from a high-calibre refurbishment that left no stone unturned in creating a beautiful modern lifestyle within its historic walls.
“While Vernon is a stately, sizeable property, it is also a comfortable family home — it is, truly, the best of both worlds.”

Desirably located in Mona St, this landmark Victorian Georgian residence occupies an enormous 1814sq m of sunny, near-level land.
That is a rare land holding. Battery Point only has one other home for sale today, which is over 1000sq m, plus a couple around 800sq m. The majority are in the 300-400sq m range.
Mona St is also an exclusive address, considered by many as one of the most sought-after streets in our most prestigious suburb.
This grand residence is much admired for its towering gothic roofline, ornate gables, finials and spectacular grounds on one of the largest land holdings in Battery Point.
It is reminiscent of a country estate with its expansive lawns, magnificent trees, curved gravel driveway and superbly manicured established gardens.
This extraordinary sanctuary is like no other.
