Within a short distance from the vibrant township of Cygnet, this character-filled 1930s cottage offers an exciting prospect to those looking to be in an excellent location and have your heart captured by the charm this gorgeous home offers. Upgraded in more recent years with the introduction of modern day comforts and efficiencies, the cottage now offers the best of both worlds. With its welcoming street presence that carries on throughout the property, this home is sure to capture the heart.
Turning up the gravelled driveway, the cottage comes into sight looking pretty with its classic weatherboards, lush cottage gardens, and gravelled pathway meandering to the gorgeous verandah. The front door welcomes you inside where you will find the historic charm of the cottage only deepens. Polished timber floorboards, pressed metal ceilings and fireplaces all bring the personality of the home alive. At the front of the home are two bedrooms, with one of the bedrooms retaining the original open fireplace. A third bedroom further up the hallway also features doors that open to the kitchen, making it potentially the perfect spot for a dining room if desired. Moving into the lounge room, a warm and inviting atmosphere greets you, with the painted brick fireplace and dado walls continuing the charm throughout the home. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of storage, and the nearby breakfast bar looking out the window offers a lovely spot to enjoy a morning brew. Off to the side, a study nook at the rear of the home is an excellent spot to make your own, whether for work from home needs or a quiet reading area.
Throughout the home there is ducted heating, and with insulation in the floor, ceilings and walls, the home stays cozy through Southern Tasmania’s brisker weather. To help keep running costs at a minimum, the home is equipped with a large 15kw solar array linked with a sizeable 10kw battery package, ensuring you can keep running the home through the unique Tasmanian climate, making the most of our sunlight hours.
Outside, the large undercover verandah offers an excellent space to entertain guests and, with roller blinds, keeps the elements at bay. Off the side of the verandah are two utility rooms, with one currently serving as the laundry with its own seperate toilet and the other a storeroom. The rear yard also offers infrastructure such as a garden shed, a chook shelter, and not to mention the five fully planted veggie beds. Apple and pear trees are also dotted in the backyard, complete with stone fruit trees along the driveway and berries along the side of the home.
In addition to the home is the versatile and separate studio. Set privately down the side of the home, the space has heating and is plumbed with hot water. This space would be ideal to use as a home office, teenager’s retreat or whatever creative space you may envision.
Only a short stroll into the heart of Cygnet, where you will find a vibrant community packed with culture. There are cafés, art galleries and a variety of small shops as well as services such as doctors, IGA supermarkets and schools. Markets are held in the nearby Main Street and just south of the community hub sees you at the stunning Port Cygnet Bay, where there is an excellent walk along the water’s edge passing the yacht club.
