Two apartments at No.1 Burnett St are set to be sold under the hammer.
Mercury Real Estate Editor Jarrad Bevan:In your opinion, has there been a Hobart apartment built to this level of luxury?
Ray White Hobart managing director Nick Cowley: You could count the amount of apartment sales exceeding $3m in Hobart on one hand and none of them, in my opinion, compare to the scale, construction, inclusions, fixtures, fittings and build quality of the luxury residences at No.1 Burnett St.

JB: What are some of the construction techniques or high-end features that set it apart — like the lighting automation, Venetian plaster in the bathroom, that $7000 tap, or the harmonic vibration design?
NC: Apartment 1 consists of 534sq m of usable living space over three levels while Apartment 2 sits at almost 330sq m. The list of features is endless, from the secure basement parking, HydroAir hydronically heated polished concrete floors, Daikin reverse cycle heating and airconditioning, Control4 full home automation, CCTV, keyless entry, remote control blinds, AEG appliances, Venetian plastered powder rooms, micro cement finished bathrooms, 7.92kW solar systems, just to name a few. To top it all off, Apartment 1 includes its own wine cellar, a 97sq m basement, an office and a $50,000 audio system and an 83-inch top-of-the-line LG OLED TV.
Construction is critical when it comes to apartment living and there is none better than No.1 Burnett St. When purchasing an apartment the first question you should start with is: What type of construction is used? Ever stayed in a hotel or apartment building with thin or inferiorly constructed walls or floors? It’s a nightmare and one the residents of No.1 Burnett will never have to experience. The partition walls between the residences are constructed with a 150mm thick concrete panel followed by a 20mm insulation product called Foilboard, which also assists with reducing harmonic vibration, and then R2.5 Rockwool insulation and finally 13mm plaster board. Along with the 400mm concrete ground slab with insulation between layers, you will never know you have a neighbour in these residences.

JB: What can you tell us about the ‘blank canvas’ area off the underground garage?
NC: Apartment 1 features an incredible 97sq m lower ground basement. The space alone is larger than most apartments and as a blank canvas you can let your imagination run wild. Maybe the ultimate man/she cave, home cinema, wellness centre, games room or workshop.
JB: Who would be the ideal buyer for these first two homes?
NC: We are expecting strong interstate interest in the residences. Being a part of Australia’s largest real estate group, Ray White, who sold almost 20,000 apartments over the last 12 months alone, we have an unparalleled reach like no other agency in the country. With more than 30 per cent of all Hobart property searches through the real estate portals coming from the mainland, Queensland is leading the way at 11 per cent. Purchasers are keeping a close eye on our amazing state due to its lower and more comfortable climate, exceptional scenery and incredible local produce.

JB: Why would an auction be the correct strategy for these top quality properties?
NC: Auctions create a transparent atmosphere for the potential purchasers, along with the vendor, and as there are no apartments of this standard on the market we are excited to see where purchaser’s see the value sitting for these remarkable residences.
JB: If people want to inspect the properties, how do they go about it?
NC: Inspection will be by private appointment.
