Thoughtfully designed and built in 2001 by the current owner, this meticulously maintained and presented family home sits on a generous allotment of just over an acre. Enveloped by swathes of lush lawn and manicured gardens, the interior of this delightful home is just as pleasing to the eye. Located in Margate, once touted as the "happiest [town] in the state", this idyllic seaside locale is an easy commute to the city of Hobart, with a drive that passes by scenic vineyards and fields of green.
The low maintenance brick-veneer residence comprises four comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, two separate living areas, open-plan kitchen and dining area. Well-sized, the four bedrooms are bright and airy offering lovely views over the grounds. The master boasts a tasteful, nicely appointed ensuite with a separate toilet, walk-in wardrobe, and stunning bay window perfectly framed by quality drapery. Two other bedrooms offer built-in wardrobes, and the fourth bedroom could be utilised as a study, if desired. These rooms are serviced by an immaculate bathroom which features bright, crisply white fixtures and fittings, a shower, bathtub, and separate toilet.
The spacious living room features a bay window positioned to maximise picture-perfect garden views, a wood fire for warmth and ambience (ducted throughout the home), and plush carpet underfoot. The adjacent formal dining room could see use as a family room, and has easy access to a paved outdoor entertaining area. Mellow-toned Tasmanian Oak floorboards are a standout feature here, and extend through to the roomy open-plan kitchen and casual dining room. The kitchen has much to offer: luxurious granite benchtops, Smeg appliances, filtered water on tap, atop Myrtle cabinetry built around a bay window all with stunning views overlooking established trees and flowering ornamentals; windows that open to form a servery to the entertaining area; and a generous walk-in pantry.
