88 Watsons Road, Glen Huon TAS 7109

Delightfully filled with character and charm, 88 Watsons Rd is the quintessential, swoon-worthy, Tasmanian cottage. Sitting within a manageable 1037m2 of quaint gardens, fruit and veggie patches and ornamental trees, the home overlooks a much larger surrounding farm. The view from the entertaining area and living room takes in old timber barns, tall poplar trees which offer dramatic colour during Autumn and the rolling hills of Glen Huon. The house is filled with quirky nooks, cozy corners and yet has loads of space for family and friends. It's a house that feels safe, like a big warm hug, and it's looking for new custodians.

The charming 1880's home is spread out over 2 levels. The lower level features 3 bedrooms as well as the kitchen, living and dining area. There is a mix of original features throughout the lower level from the central (ornamental) brick fireplace, original timber doors and wide, polished floorboards, just to name a few. The living, dining and kitchen all feature exposed beams, likely added in later renovations to the home, creating a lovely English country feel. A large, efficient woodfire is tucked in a brick surround which which works as a heatbank, as well as adding to the overall charm. A new reverse-cycle air conditioner is available for convenience and comfort throughout the seasons. There are three light-filled bedrooms downstairs, and upstairs, the large main bedroom with ensuite and quaint built-in robe offers a dormer window overlooking the beautiful landscape beyond.

The living space has been cleverly designed with a North-east aspect, making the most of the warm sun, especially during winter. The living area opens onto the entertaining deck via French Doors offering great indoor/outdoor flow with a magical rural outlook. There is also access from the deck to a mudroom adjoining the kitchen and laundry; super practical when you've been out in the garden, walking the dogs or bringing kids home from muddy winter sports! There is an extra entertaining and firepit area amongst the garden at the front of the home as well as some smaller storage sheds and a large gravel area for parking cars and trailers. The whole yard is fully fencing for containing kids and pets.

Glen Huon is a wonderful, vibrant community just a short approx. 5-10 minute drive into the Huon Valley hub of Huonville, and approx. 45 minutes into Hobart CBD. The local Primary School is within walking distance and just down the road is the Glen Huon Dairy Co, an offshoot of the popular Bruny Island Cheese business, where you can partake in a farm tours. This gorgeous cottage won't last long; I cannot wait to show you through!
