Set within the picturesque coastal landscape of Kettering, this north-facing residence offers a private sanctuary where light, space, and nature come together in perfect harmony. Thoughtfully designed across two levels, the home balances modern comfort with a relaxed, contemporary feel.
A sheltered entry welcomes you into a generous foyer, leading to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The spacious main suite features a walk-in robe and an expansive ensuite, creating a peaceful retreat. An elevated lounge captures beautiful afternoon light and treetop outlooks, offering a warm and inviting space to unwind.
The lower level forms the heart of the home. A well-appointed kitchen boasts a broad island bench, quality appliances, a large walk-in pantry, and a cleverly concealed laundry. The open-plan kitchen and dining area flows effortlessly onto a sheltered deck, where grapevines frame views across the gardens - an idyllic setting for entertaining or quiet reflection. A separate living room adjacent to this space provides flexibility for zoning and everyday living.
Set on over 1,900 sqm, the grounds are a true highlight - both productive and beautifully established. Terraced gardens create a series of private, sheltered spaces, forming a peaceful sanctuary that feels a world away. Established fruit trees - including passionfruit, kiwi, berries, apricot, plums, and grapes - combine with raised vegetable beds and a small greenhouse to support a sustainable lifestyle. The garden has been thoughtfully curated to flower year-round, offering an ever-changing display of colour and texture.
Adding further versatility, a separate studio or playhouse provides a quiet retreat for creative pursuits, work-from-home flexibility, or space for children to enjoy. The property also features a double carport with power, adding everyday convenience and functionality.
Backing onto a nature reserve, the property is a haven for birdlife and a true retreat for nature lovers. A unique sense of peace defines daily life here, whether arriving home to the quiet beauty of the surroundings or enjoying a leisurely stroll to the Oyster Cove Inn for one of their renowned counter meals overlooking the marina and out to Bruny Island.
The home is well-equipped for comfortable and efficient living, featuring double-glazed windows, a heat pump, panel heaters, new carpet throughout, and a recently updated hot water system. A 40,000-litre rainwater storage system provides reliable supply, complemented by a modern OzziKleen system.
Positioned just a two-minute drive from the Bruny Island ferry terminal and within walking distance of Kettering village and marina, this is a home that offers both tranquillity and connection - an exceptional lifestyle opportunity within easy reach of Hobart.
