Tucked away amongst the treetops in the peaceful surrounds of Fern Tree, this charming home feels like a private escape from the everyday. Surrounded by established greenery, native ferns and a beautiful leafy outlook, it offers a wonderful sense of seclusion while remaining just around 10 minutes from Hobart's CBD.
Inside, the home is warm and inviting, with beautiful hardwood floors and an easy, functional layout. The lower level centres around the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, where large windows draw in natural light and capture the surrounding greenery. Doors open directly onto the generous wraparound deck, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out and a wonderful spot to relax or entertain amongst the trees.
Two well-sized bedrooms are positioned downstairs, one with built-in storage and the other with the opportunity to utilise additional under-stair storage within the room. Both enjoy peaceful outlooks across the surrounding ferns and established gardens and are serviced by the central bathroom, complete with a bath.
An additional room adjoining the main living area provides plenty of flexibility as a fourth bedroom, home office, sunroom or second living space, with direct access to the deck.
Upstairs, the generous main bedroom creates a private parents' retreat away from the main living areas. Already offering excellent proportions, there is further scope to enhance the space with a walk-in robe or ensuite, subject to the relevant approvals, making it an exciting opportunity to add your own touches over time.
Outside, the established gardens further add to the feeling of having your own little oasis amongst the trees. A separate garden studio, currently utilised as a shed, provides additional flexible space away from the main home and could lend itself to a range of uses.
For those who love the outdoors, the location is hard to beat. Walking and mountain bike tracks are virtually on the doorstep, with easy access to the mountain trails, Pipeline Track and Waterworks Reserve. Yet despite its peaceful rainforest-like setting, South Hobart's cafes and amenities and Hobart's CBD are only a short drive away, with a city bus stop also conveniently positioned nearby.
Comfortable as it is, there is plenty of scope to further enhance the home over time. Whether enjoying it just as it is or making the most of its future potential, this is a wonderfully private Fern Tree retreat where nature, convenience and relaxed living come together.
