68 Ferry Road, Kettering TAS 7155

This is your unique opportunity to own a home in beautiful Kettering equipped with all the amenities you would find at a holiday resort. With the Bruny Island ferry terminal literally at your front gate, you are moments away from exploring some of Tasmania's most stunning scenery. But why would you want to leave when you can have the same experience from your deck or the kitchen sink? Absorb the spectacular water views over Kettering Marina and behind the house to Trial Bay, and bush views from almost every room. Live like you are always on holidays at this incredible location which offers an indoor swimming pool, sauna, cricket bowling nets, inground trampoline, tennis court, children's play area with swing set, numerous entertaining areas including outdoor picnic tables and even a chook shed and dam in keeping with a country estate.

Exposed brick forms an architectural feature within the home. Slate floors in the bathroom and dining areas are cool under foot on those warm summer days. Vaulted ceilings and expansive windows throughout allow all day sun to flood the property. With a flexible floor plan you are sure to benefit from the space and quiet in this grand residence.

The parents' retreat at the east end of the property includes a walk in robe and ensuite and has its own direct access to the gardens, pool and tennis court. Three of the remaining four bedrooms have built in cupboards and shelving and the study comes equipped with built in desk and ample storage solutions. Included also in the home are two entertaining areas both with wood fires, an enormous kitchen that drinks in the water views from the wall to wall windows, two bathrooms (one needs completing) and direct access via a breezeway to the expansive indoor inground swimming pool and sauna. With this much on offer, there will be no end to the social gatherings - resort style.

Sprawling over 1.168 hectares, the established gardens present a number of areas to entertain or just relax in the shade of the trees. Soak in the whisper quieten surrounds with only the birds and the swirling of the breeze in the gums to break the silence. Two external sheds, a two car garage and an expansive area under the house offer generous storage options as well.

This home, on a grand scale and in need of a little love, is waiting for its next family to care for it and bring it back to life. With some areas of the home requiring a facelift, this is your chance to finesse the property to your style and liking. Just 20 minutes from the centre of Kingston, or a further 15 minutes to the city, this substantial property in a desirable, private locale won't last long.
