Brooks Bay TAS 7116

Situated high on the hill, this beautiful home was built in 1904. The home oozes a welcoming feeling from the moment that you walk through the door. So much charm and nostalgia fill the property with a warmth that surrounds you. A large undercover porch is entrancing, draped with green grape vines, take off your shoes and move into the entry foyer of your home with ample space for leaving the baggage at the door. Polished boards entice you onto the heart of the home, a stunning light filled family lounge area with ample windows to admire the water views and cosy wood heating for the Tasmanian winter. With open plan dining and a Tas Oak kitchen, cook up a feast for the family or guests, the pantry is spacious, and a handy marble chopping block saves the other benchtops. Four double bedrooms are provided or utilise the rooms as formal living or even office space with NBN available. A formal lounge has beautiful pressed tin ceilings and an open fire. The family bathroom is tidy with a separate shower, bath and vanity unit. A separate laundry and hall storage complete the home. Many original features remain in the home including some Baltic and pressed metal ceilings, brass doorknobs, timber French doors to the verandah and pretty fretwork externally. Practical additions to the home are insulation to the ceiling and most external walls, a new roof in 2016, heat transfer system, ample tank water, upstairs storage in attic space (this can be converted to additional living space if required), NBN connection and two wood heaters. The garage is a good size with room for the car and a separate workshop or storage area with power and lights connected. For the artist or craft person a studio room is tucked into the beautiful gardens that have so much to offer including established shrubs, hedges and an array of spring bulbs and bird aviary. A hot house is ready to plant as are the additional covered beds, fruit trees are ample with a selection of citrus and apple trees. The family dog hasn't been forgotten with a secure dog pen until you arrive home to throw the stick into the water for him which is directly across the road. Two moorings are available for the boat lover. A wrap around undercover deck provides a perfect retreat to read a novel while sipping on herbal tea, waiting for the children to arrive home off the local school bus service. If all of this sounds enticing, please phone Kim to arrange a private inspection or to register attendance at the scheduled open home. Brooks Bay is a thirty minute drive to Huonville and approximately one hour to Hobart.
