4793 Huon Highway, Geeveston TAS 7116

Positioned on the edge of the quaint Geeveston township is this character cottage that has been fully restored and upgraded by the current owners and now presents as a striking example of the early 1900s Tasmanian weatherboard architecture.

Welcomed by a covered verandah that wraps around the Northern and Eastern sides of the house, providing a great place to sit and take in the sunshine and rolling hillsides in the foreground that are perfectly positioned just over the Kermandie River, within meters of the cottage.

Inside, the home features original doors, architraves and skirting boards, that include Huon Pine and other minor species of Tasmanian timbers. Plus the new double glazed timber windows add significant energy saving and almost make the house silent compared to the original windows that existed prior. Uncovering the beautiful fireplaces during the renovations, the owners found one which was the original kitchen fireplace with the original iron bars for hanging pots which is still in great condition after all these years.

Original floorboards feature under the soft warm new carpets and the front door takes you back to a bygone era as you step under the rolled front verandah and enter into the hallway, which leads to all three bedrooms.

While preserving the original features in the older section of the home, the kitchen and bathroom have a modern feel in the home's addition and blend the best of both worlds tastefully with a combination of black and white styling. The kitchen features a beautiful Belling oven with a gas cooktop, Smeg dishwasher, great storage and a double sink which provides views out to the gardens.

An original vertical board timber carport and workshop sits beside the home, offering space to park cars or to use as storage. The house is positioned at the front of the block so you can either make the most of a large backyard by adding the existing fruit trees and re-planting veggie patches on the Northerly slope, or potentially subdivide subject to relevant approvals.

Located on both the school bus and public transport routes you are a short walk to Geeveston's amenities and shops including the Wall of Lollies, Masaaki's Sushi, IGA Supermarket, bakeries and lots more. For more services, Huonville is a mere 20 minute drive away and Hobart approximately 50 Minutes.
