Battery Point 11 Mona Street

There are few opportunities in Hobart’s history to secure a property of such scale, beauty and significance as Vernon. Positioned on arguably Battery Point’s most prestigious street, this extraordinary estate occupies one of the largest, level landholdings in the suburb – a sanctuary of space, grandeur and heritage unlike any other.

Built in the 1870s and admired for generations, Vernon is one of the most distinguished residences in Tasmania. An outstanding example of Victorian Gothic architecture, its towering gables, ornate finials, and imposing roofline make a striking impression from the moment you arrive. The parklike grounds, with sweeping lawns, century-old trees and manicured gardens, evoke the ambience of a secluded sanctuary – yet this private oasis sits in the very heart of Battery Point.

Behind its storied façade lies a residence of remarkable scale and elegance. Enter through the grand foyer, where soaring ceilings, intricate cornices, stained-glass details and a sweeping staircase set the tone for the home’s refined character. Across multiple levels, the residence balances stately proportions with modern liveability. Ground floor has formal and informal living rooms, a gracious dining room, light-filled kitchen with butler’s pantry, study with built-in desk, rumpus area and bedroom- there is exceptional versatility for family life and entertaining.

The upper level reveals a superb master suite complete with custom robes and a marble-clad ensuite, accompanied by two additional generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Original fireplaces, polished timber floors, bespoke joinery and contemporary updates are seamlessly combined, ensuring historic charm is enriched by modern comfort. Hydronic heating, multiple fireplaces, and a sophisticated security system deliver year-round ease.

Outdoors, the estate’s scale is unrivalled in Battery Point. The expansive, level allotment allows for sweeping lawns, entertaining courtyards, and garden sanctuaries – a rarity in an area renowned for its smaller cottages and terraces. Two vehicle entrances, ample off-street parking, sheds, and automated garden systems add practical amenity to the beauty of the grounds.

This remarkable property places Hobart’s best lifestyle on your doorstep. From Mona Street, it is a short walk to Hampden Road’s village cafés and shops, Salamanca Place, the waterfront, and the city centre. World-class dining, cultural attractions and every amenity is close proximity.

Vernon at 11 Mona Street represents more than a home – it is a generational estate, an icon of Battery Point, and one of the suburb’s most significant residential holdings.
