Constructed by the acclaimed builder of the Taroona Shot Tower and St Mark's Church, Pontville, Joseph Moir, in the early 1830s and lovingly renovated by architect Professor Richard Blythe in 2001, this exceptional residence is one of two conjoined landmark residences, exhibiting awe-inspiring historical significance between the CBD and North Hobart.

Commanding a striking presence within the heart of Hobart's bustling bar, restaurant and cafe precinct, the home is a landmark icon that stands tall and is sure to inspire. Majestic ceilings soar to heights of up to 12.5ft, inviting a sense of scale through the formal reception rooms and up toward the open-plan living and dining areas, where period features define the elegance of the bygone era with internal timber shutters, ornate cornices and breathtaking fireplaces.

The soaring ceiling heights accentuate the scale of the open dining room and a well-appointed kitchen with ample storage, adjoining a formal dining area/bedroom and separate living area with a gorgeous open fireplace. Five glorious bedrooms spread out over the home's four grand levels, including the second-floor main bedroom with its adjoining dual-vanity bathroom with large bath and twin shower, and attic guest bedroom with ensuite. The versatility of the layout is perfect for those looking for space to utilize, with the scope to update and further modernise to complement a modern family lifestyle.

In a coveted location just metres to Elizabeth Street's shops and restaurants; a short stroll into the CBD and in an "Urban Mixed Use" zone, "Hercules" also includes electric heating, double-glazing to the windows facing the main street, laundry, storage room, off-street parking and a private courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining.
