300 Davey St, South Hobart

Gardening and internet included in the rent. Henry Jones, Tasmania’s famous “rags to riches” industrialist, built seven homes for his seven daughters, and this one was Mabel’s. Privately set behind secure remote gates, “Bendena” is a remarkable South Hobart residence where 1911 Arts & Crafts craftsmanship blends seamlessly with modern living. Set on an expansive holding, the home offers exceptional peace, space and privacy, just moments from the city. A leafy, tree-lined driveway leads to the home, framed by beautifully manicured gardens that provide vibrant colour year-round. Inside, a wide welcoming foyer showcases high ceilings, leadlight windows and hand-carved period detailing, setting the tone for the home’s timeless charm. The ground floor offers multiple living zones, balancing elegance and comfort. A formal sitting and living room features a grand fireplace with marble hearth, while the adjoining library provides a quiet retreat with a window seat overlooking the gardens. The light-filled dining room seats eight and flows via double-glazed sliding doors to a private entertaining deck, surrounded by garden outlooks with views toward the Queen’s Domain and Tasman Bridge. The chef’s kitchen is a standout, featuring a custom Lacanche Piano Gastronomique cooker (gas and induction cooktop, dual electric ovens and warming cupboard), iron benchtops and polished Jarrah flooring, which continues throughout the ground level. Upstairs, generous bedrooms enjoy the home’s elevated position and outlook. The master suite is a true sanctuary, offering excellent storage, a luxurious ensuite with double vanity, walk-in shower and WC, and French doors opening to a covered balcony with sweeping city and river views. Two further bedrooms are exceptionally spacious, while a fourth bedroom enjoys picturesque garden views. A sun-filled upstairs study or sitting room captures all-day sunshine and stunning outlooks, ideal for work or relaxation. The main upstairs bathroom is impressive in scale, featuring a freestanding bath, vanity and WC.
