Overview

Keans Cottage | A considered restoration

Positioned in the heart of Triabunna, Keans Cottage is a beautifully restored circa-1910 home where original character has been carefully retained alongside a comprehensive modern renovation. Restored from the foundations up by an experienced qualified builder, the home has undergone extensive works including new wiring and plumbing throughout, a new kitchen, bathroom and laundry, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, a new hot water system and updated outdoor areas. The result is a character home that retains its history while offering the comfort and practicality of a thoroughly updated property. Original timber floorboards have been polished in a subtle matt finish and run throughout the three-bedroom home, complemented by the fully restored original wood-burning fireplace. The bedrooms are generously proportioned, with flexibility to accommodate permanent living, guests or a home office, while the open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area provides a relaxed and functional central living space. A spacious main bathroom is complemented by a second toilet within the new laundry. Outside, an undercover porch provides a sheltered place to sit and enjoy the surrounds, while the fully fenced allotment offers excellent practicality and privacy. Secure access is provided via a remote electric gate, leading to a newly constructed two-bay garage, with an additional garden shed providing further storage. Three large rainwater tanks with an electric pressure pump supplement the property's mains water connection. The property also holds the requisite permit for short-stay accommodation and is currently registered for Airbnb use, presenting an established option for those considering a holiday accommodation investment. There is also the opportunity to acquire the property fully furnished. Conveniently positioned within walking distance of Triabunna's shops, cafés, hotels and medical services, and close to the marina and ferry connection to Maria Island, Keans Cottage is equally well suited as a permanent home, East Coast base or investment. With the substantial renovation already completed, this is an opportunity to secure a character-filled Triabunna home where the work has been done, without compromising the qualities that make the original cottage so appealing.
