88 Watsons Road, Glen Huon TAS 7109

This charming cottage was originally built around 1880 and still maintains bucket loads of the charm of yesteryear. Features include timber floors throughout and ornate fire places. One now houses a free standing wood fire, keeping you snug all year round. Combining some modern day upgrades, adding great comfort, this cottage is warm and inviting as well as very appealing.

Deceptively larger than might appear, there are 4 bedrooms on offer, including the master suite up stairs that enjoys its own ensuite bathroom with views over rural pastures. Downstairs, the other 3 bedrooms are also a good size and share a central bathroom. The open plan lounge, dining and kitchen are slightly sunken adding great dimension to the open spaces and an added separation from what is a very practical open central entry consisting of a wonderful old double-sided feature fireplace as the center-piece.

The kitchen has a fabulous country feel to it and is complete with a 900mm stainless steel gas cooker. Central to the open plan living is the dining table, with the lounge tucked in at the other end. From the lounge there are beautiful French doors that open out onto the rear entertaining deck perfect for sitting back with a good book and a glass of wine or entertaining visiting friends. This conveniently overlooks idyllic rural pastures with an old barn in the scene as an added feature, all with the backdrop of the beautiful green hills of Glen Huon.

The garden is simply lovely. Low-maintenance, yet wonderfully completes the quaint charming cottage look. A large deciduous tree takes pride of place in the front yard and flower beds add wonderful colour. The gravel pathway winds its way to the verandah and front door. There are 2 garden sheds for storage and garden tools. Here you can be self-sufficient with your own rain-water, grow your own veggies, pick the fruit from the apricot tree or the plum and greengage trees. Keep some chickens and have fresh eggs every morning.

This is a most charming cottage with nothing to do but move in and enjoy the lifestyle it has to offer. Glen Huon is 10 minutes by car to the central hub of Huonville and Hobart is a picturesque 45 minutes to the CBD should you need to commute on a daily basis. Please contact me for a private inspection that suits you, or keep an eye out on our open homes, but be prepared... you will not want to leave once here.
