There’s a quiet magic to Greendale and it's the kind you feel the moment you arrive. Set within the tightly held township of Grove, this circa 1910 Federation home stands as a graceful reminder of a more considered time. Beyond its heritage-listed façade lies a home that has evolved gently over the years, now offering four bedrooms and two bathrooms while honouring the craftsmanship and character that make it truly unforgettable. It’s a place where history is not just preserved, but lived in. It's warm, welcoming, and deeply comforting.
Stepping through the front door, you're met with a home rich in original detail. Pressed metal ceilings, polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards, and original timber sash windows speak to its Federation roots, while multiple original open fireplaces create focal points in many of the rooms. The flexible layout offers 3-4 bedrooms, and even up to 5 if bedrooms are the priority. The main bedroom is spacious and renovated with a relaxed aesthetic creating a calm and welcoming space. A well designed walk-in robe & ensuite finish this area nicely. The 2 downstairs living and dining rooms are beautifully proportioned, filled with natural light and a quiet sense of refinement. These living spaces also offer great flexibility, easily transitioning into bedrooms as needed. Upstairs provides an additional living area, and separate study, perfect for families, creatives, or those seeking space to work from home. Storage has been cleverly integrated into the attic areas, ensuring practicality never detracts from charm. At the heart of the home, the country-style timber kitchen offers warmth and functionality, complete with a freestanding oven, and dishwasher. The family bathroom has been tastefully renovated, integrating a laundry and bringing a fresh, contemporary layer to the home. Comfort is assured year-round with ducted heating and cooling.
The home is set on a generous, fully fenced parcel of just under 1000m2 of ground that feels both established and full of possibility. There is a great parking area at the front of the property surrounded by easy-care gardens, while the backyard unfolds into a space designed for simple pleasures; veggie gardens, practical sheds, and room to breathe. From the kitchen and sunroom at the rear of the house, French Doors open onto a large timber deck creating great indoor/outdoor flow. This is a peaceful vantage point that invites slow mornings with a cup of tea or long afternoons watching the light shift across the landscape. It's both out the back and front of the house where you can really appreciate the position of this home, with a magical view of surrounding paddocks, cows and Sleeping Beauty in the distance. Sleeping Beauty is often snowcapped in the winter months and remains a real icon of the Huon Valley through every season.
Grove sits as the gateway to the Huon Valley, a region known for its rolling green hills, rich soil, and strong sense of community. Here, life moves with a little more ease from weekend markets, local produce, and scenic drives all becoming part of your everyday rhythm. The nearby township of Huonville offers all the amenities you expect from a small country town including a hardware, schools, and an abundance of cafes, bars and community groups. This home is ideal for the commuting family with Hobart just a comfortable 25-minute drive away (approx), with easy access to school and commuter busses. This property offers the perfect balance between country calm with access city convenience. Greendale is more than a home; it’s an invitation to settle into a place where beauty, history, and lifestyle come together with quiet grace.
