The residence itself carries a feeling of modern country. From the front door one is welcomed straight into the heart of the home. The modern eat in kitchen with granite bench tops has an adjacent walk in pantry which doubles as a compact laundry. This mezzanine level overlooks the large timber lined living room. Also on the mezzanine level is the bathroom which cleverly combines modern functionality with character. An example is the use of a classic Huon Pine cupboard as the vanity. Timber lined walls and slate floors provide a sense of warmth. Also on this level is a large double bedroom with an abundance of storage cupboards. Polished floors flow throughout the home which also has an extensive use of recycled timbers.

The lounge / dining area has quite a majestic feel created by the high raked ceilings and expansive use of glass. Doors open to the deck for ease of entertaining. The large central wood heater effectively warms the home. A small hall leads to bedroom 2 and 3 both with beautiful bush outlooks.

Internal stairs lead to another huge living space, which also has a private external access. A large room is currently used for a home based business and could be used as a teenagers retreat. Separate to that is an area ideal to provide privacy for guests with their own bedroom, lounge room and bathroom. This area opens onto a 2nd deck overlooking the garden. The garden is somewhat of a wonderland with various areas to play in and entertain.

A solid riverstone BBQ area is the perfect spot for summertime entertaining as the children explore. Veggie garden, fruit trees, blossoms and ferns are all part of the lush gardens. A tiny creek flows through the property being a tributary of the South Hobart Rivulet. Various stone and brick pathways meander through the property. One such path leads to a Studio deep within the garden. The fully lined and insulated colorbond structure is double glazed, powered and has internet connection. A cosy, 3 metre square workspace is completely private. Security lighting is a bonus as one walks to the residence from the double carport at night.

The astute purchaser will see the purchase of this property as a lifestyle change rather than just a home.
