Only a handful of families have had the pleasure of calling South Hobart’s Kinnoull home — and your family could be next.

Built in 1914, this stunning Federation residence stands as a testament to architectural elegance, seamlessly blending heritage charm with contemporary luxury.

Listed for sale with Peterswald’s Harry Coomer and Phoebe Nothling, No.369 Huon Rd is a plush home that makes a grand first impression.

Quickly, the features of the past present themselves — the timber floors underfoot, the tall ceiling heights, the pressed tin, and the timber staircase that sweeps the eye upwards.

Then the opulent features start to grab attention: there’s the elevated view that reaches all the way across the river to the Eastern Shore; the fireplace mantles; the dreamy gourmet kitchen; and the five-star top floor bathrooms.

On all fronts, this is a home that will take your breath away.

Peterswald director, Mr Coomer, said Kinnoull offers the practicality of a modern home alongside the character of a historic home.

“That’s a rarity,” he said. “Kinnoull is a timeless property. It has a great soul and feel to it.”

For an active family or a keen gardener, the private rear yard will be a treat.

With over 2000sq m of land, there will be plenty for the green thumb in the family to enjoy.

And for the next generation of JackJumpers, there is a quarter-sized basketball court, plus an ice bath and a sauna.

“The sprawling lawn is a nice touch, especially for a property that is just minutes from the city,” Mr Coomer said.

“When you think of everything you might want a home to offer, this property has it all.

“It is hard to fault. It is the pinnacle of luxury.”
