When this sophisticated Sandy Bay showstopper sells, it’ll break its own price record.
Over the past decade it’s been on the market a few times, trading for more than $3m each time and heading towards $4m in 2016.
There are just 16 homes in this exclusive, tightly held street, but No.11 Ellington sets the benchmark for luxurious living.
This is the type of home that does not come along every day. And it has been recently enhanced by its owners.
Wolf Property director Cam Rogers said No.11 is a prime example of the very top of Tasmania’s property market.
He said that at this level, buyers expect stunning architecture, a brilliant location, and a home that is crafted with the highest quality materials.

“No.11 comes with the extra wow factor, that bit of magic that sets a home apart,” he said.
“It’s a challenge to find a home of this size and stature. There is nothing like it on the market.
“The replacement cost of this property would be astronomical.”
Mr Rogers described Ellington Rd as a blue-chip cul-de-sac and No.11 as the jewel in the crown.
“It is nearly 1500sq m and sits just off Sandy Bay Rd — away from the busy street, but also walking distance to everything,” he said. “The property is elevated, which provides beautiful views. From the balcony, you can see the sand at Long Beach.”
Mr Rogers said the home has been renovated over the past 12 months. He said the kitchen and butler’s pantry are among the spectacular highlights.
“It is also smart home enabled, with everything from lighting to heating and cooling, security and gates controlled with the touch of a button,” he said.

Across three levels, No.11 spans over 660sq m of internal living.
The flexible floorplan provides five generously sized bedrooms and five bathrooms, complemented by multiple living zones designed for family living and large-scale entertaining.
The home captures panoramic north-facing views of the River Derwent sweeping back toward kunanyi/Mt Wellington.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been significantly enhanced through an extension featuring a well-appointed butler’s pantry that provides additional storage and preparation space — ideal for effortless entertaining.
It is equipped with quality, integrated Siemens appliances and a combination of gas and induction cooking.
The residence is further elevated by a commercial-grade lift that ensures seamless access between levels.

Established, low-maintenance grounds deliver privacy and a sense of space and security.
The alfresco brings family together.
Practicality is equally considered, with a double garage that includes internal access to the home, along with ample and secure, off-street parking.
The luxury continues with a 15m by 10m pool, which is on the lower ground floor.
The property’s location is within proximity of prestigious primary and secondary schools, the University of Tasmania, renowned local beaches, and just minutes from Hobart’s CBD, Salamanca and the waterfront.

Mr Roger said, as he expected when launching the home, inquiries are coming from local and interstate-based buyers.
“There is a strong contingent of high-income local families who aspire to own a home exactly like No.11,” he said.
“They are generally family buyers looking to upsize from their current home into their dream home.
“We also see buyers who are relocating from NSW and QLD who are accustomed to this style of property.”
No.11 Ellington Rd, Sandy Bay combines blue-chip position, modern luxury and exceptional scale in one of Hobart’s most desirable settings. It is listed with Wolf Property at $4.5m-plus.
