A STATEMENT IN STYLE

“Ashlar” is a Freemason term which refers to stone that is shaped and carved until it is perfect. What a fitting name for such an incredible home. <br/><br/>Gracing the Battery Point streetscape since approximately 1868, “Ashlar” has evolved with the times whilst respecting her significant history and presents a gorgeous opportunity for a family to enjoy the comforts of 21st century living within her Colonial walls.<br/><br/>Everything about “Ashlar” is generous and sophisticated. The main hallway is wide and invites you into the home with high ceilings, ornate cornices, French crystal chandelier and of course, polished floors. Typical of the era, there are 3 main rooms off the central hallway, the grand staircase which leads up and down, and of course, the modern kitchen which has a sympathetic nod to its historic past. <br/><br/>Your use of the 3 main rooms on this level is flexible, currently a striking study, reading room and lounge - you may choose to use these spaces comfortably with your own configuration. All rooms are generously proportioned and feature typical elements reflecting the property’s significant history. 2 gas heaters, a pellet fire and 2 reverse cycle heat pumps ensure you are able to effectively heat and cool just the spaces you wish. <br/><br/>A notable addition to the main level is the casual living area which features extensive use of glass, maximising the stunning outlook to the casino, River Derwent, kunanyi/Mt Wellington and greater Sandy Bay/Dynnyrne/Tolmans Hill. Whatever the season, whether day or night, this panorama is breathtaking.<br/><br/>The lower level offers stately master bedroom with large WIR and tasteful ensuite. There is another large bedroom on this level together with family bathroom and laundry. 3 further bedrooms are located on the top floor, together with another bathroom. <br/><br/>The outdoors is enjoyed all year round with room to entertain large numbers for pizza (home-cooked in your pizza oven) or a BBQ and drinks. Additionally, you’ll find raised garden beds for growing herbs and vegetables whilst beautiful Egyptian sandstone tiles are underfoot. Two outdoor sheds complete the outdoor offerings. The garden is very “user friendly.” Being low-maintenance and fully fenced, you’ll discover it is safe for both children and pets. There is OSP for at least two cars, conveniently accessed through automatic gates.<br/><br/>War heroes, brewers, journalists, authors and others have been fortunate to call “Ashlar” home, and she is now ready to secure her next generation within these solid walls. <br/><br/>Please call Michael or Jill to arrange a suitable time for your private inspection.<br/><br/>_____________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Disclaimer: This information has been carefully compiled and is not intended to be treated as a warranty or promise as to the correctness of the information.
