THE HISTORIC HOBART HOME SURE TO TURN HEADS AS IT HITS THE MARKET

It’s a rare offering in a high demand state where listings are few and far between

As Tasmanian property prices begin to level out – and even drop in some areas – supply continues to be the greatest challenge for the island state.

Most weekends, just a small handful of homes go to market to meet demand from buyers in Tasmania, mainland Australia and beyond.

Which makes the listing of historic ‘Glenbrook’ for the first time in more than 70 years all the more exciting. The 19th century property is set on 2,342 of well-maintained gardens, including mature trees and English-style plantings.

Originally a four-room cottage, the single-level home with loft was extensively expanded during the Victorian era to now include five bedrooms, three living rooms, a music room and a quiet study or home office. Other parts of the home have been gently updated since then, while still retaining original period features.

Positioned in one of Hobart’s most sought after areas, ‘Glenbrook’ is within easy distance of the best that the city has to offer, while still maintaining a sense of country living.

Expectations are that it will attract interest from mainland buyers in the market, as well as locals.

 

Address: 345 Davey Street, South Hobart

For sale by expression of interest: Closing December 15

Next open for inspection: Saturday, November 19 11am-11.45am

Agent: Phoebe Nothling 0466 888 814 Peterswald for property

A water lily painting by Claude Monet of his Giverny gardens is expected to achieve at least US$65 million at Christie’s November sale of 20th-century art in New York

Le bassin aux nymphéas, or water lily pond, painted around 1917 to 1919, is a monumental canvas extending more than six-and-a-half feet wide and more than three-feet tall, that has been in the same anonymous private collection since 1972. According to Christie’s, the painting has never been seen publicly.

The artwork is “that rarest thing: a masterpiece rediscovered,” Max Carter, Christie’s vice chairman of 20th and 21st century art said in a news release Thursday.

A first look at this thickly painted example of Monet’s famed and influential water lily series will be on Oct. 4, when it is revealed in Hong Kong.

The price record for a Nymphéas painting by Monet was set in May 2018 for Nymphéas en fleur, another large-scale work that had been in the collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller. That painting sold for nearly US$85 million.

The current work for sale is guaranteed, Christie’s confirmed. The auction house did not provide further details on the seller.
