Set across 2.537 hectares in a sought-after Cambridge location, 73 Houston Drive presents an exceptional opportunity to embrace space, privacy and a relaxed country lifestyle, all within easy reach of Hobart's conveniences. Offered to the market for the very first time, this much-loved property combines peaceful living with the convenience of nearby shopping, essential services and Hobart's CBD, offering the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility.
Surrounded by natural beauty and enjoying a wonderful sense of seclusion, the home has been thoughtfully positioned to take in its tranquil outlook, with the kitchen and main living area overlooking the surrounding country landscape and offering a calming connection to the outdoors. The living room is designed to capture all-day sunshine, and the home is bathed in natural light from morning through to afternoon, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout the seasons.
The home features four well-sized bedrooms, including a generous main bedroom complete with a walk-in robe and positioned conveniently close to the ensuite bathroom, which is fitted with both a bath and a shower, while a separate toilet enhancing everyday functionality. Two of the additional bedrooms also feature built-in robes, providing practical storage for family living. A second, centrally located bathroom positioned near the living area and adjoining bedrooms adds further convenience and flexibility for busy households or guests.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space creates a welcoming hub for everyday living. The custom-designed Tasmanian Myrtle kitchen is both timeless and practical, complemented by a new oven, generous bench space and excellent storage. With picturesque mountain views, the living area is designed to capture all-day sunshine, creating a warm and inviting space to relax throughout the seasons. A wood heater forms a cosy focal point, adding warmth and charm during the cooler months while enhancing the home's peaceful atmosphere.
Outside, the expansive acreage offers endless opportunity. Two gates before entering the home adds security, while a fully fenced internal paddock creates two secure fenced areas, making the property ideally suited to children, pets or livestock. A secure garage with an electric roller door further enhances the home's practicality, providing convenient vehicle accommodation and additional storage. A substantial shed provides excellent storage, workshop space or room for machinery and hobby farming equipment. Completing the picturesque setting is a beautiful driveway lined with flowering gums, creating a memorable arrival and reinforcing the sense of privacy and tranquillity.
Offering the charm of country living without compromising on convenience, this is a rare lifestyle holding in one of Cambridge's most desirable semi-rural pockets.
