Sitting on the edge of the historic and vibrant town of Geeveston, this gorgeous Circa. 1910 character cottage is ready for its next chapter. Lovingly maintained and beautifully renovated, this lovely 3 bedroom home is filled with original features including wide timber floorboards, baltic pine ceilings, sash windows and open fireplaces.
As you enter the home, you are immediately overcome by the warmth and charm of another era. The wide hallway leads into the centre of the home and features intricate original detailing. On the left of the hallway there are two large bedrooms with a third bedroom on the right, each with lovely fireplace mantelpieces.
Also on the right is a cozy formal lounge with a built in fireplace, the perfect spot to relax in the ambience of the wood fire and backed up with a reverse cycle heatpump. The lounge faces north, allowing plenty of light to stream in and warm the space year-round. At the end of the hallway, a quaint, central family bathroom, linen press and separate laundry offer great practicality.
A small step up at the end of the hallway takes you into a gorgeous open plan country kitchen and dining area, complete with raked ceilings and timber beams. This is a light-filled space offering a wonderful area to entertain friends and family, as well as a sunny breakfast spot. The land bench is cleverly on wheels allowing it to be moved to suit your needs. This part of the home was the original pickers cottage build in 1890.
From here, there is access outside to a porch and lovely courtyard creating an indoor/outdoor flow with the kitchen and dining. A small potting hothouse just off the kitchen is the perfect spot to get your veggies and herbs ready for the garden.
The home sits on 1140m2 of land made up of light cottage gardens and established trees with lawned areas. There is a small garden shed attached to the carport and plenty of space for kids and pets to run around and enjoy.
The property is situated just a short drive from the township of Geeveston or you can choose to walk along a new footpath that leads from the property into town for a coffee, or spoil yourself to lots other treats Geeveston has on offer. The town is becoming a fantastic mix of young families, retired couples and professionals with lots of local businesses established and also up and coming.
Around 25 minutes drive will have you in the Huon Valley hub of Huonville and another 30 minutes drive from there will have you in the Hobart CBD. A short drive inland the other direction will take you into the beautiful Hartz Mountain National Park, a great place for hiking and enjoying the Tassie wilderness and sneaky visits to play in the snow when it dumps down to 300m.
