Nestled amongst beautifully maintained gardens and shaded by mature native and fruit trees, this accomplished light, spacious residence offers a level layout which smoothly flows from the living areas out onto the 4047 sqm of wallaby-proofed, landscaped gardens beyond.
A grand scale entry highlights the extended and modernised (2009), energy efficient home bouncing the light around and drawing you inside and filling the home with spacious warmth contained by double glazing throughout and has a northerly aspect.
The original floorboards are featured in the kitchen, which has been designed for the home entertainer with plenty of storage throughout, handy breakfast bar and induction cooktop. The space allows meal preparation whilst entertaining or keeping an eye on children playing.
Opening from the kitchen, the living room has been cleverly extended to create a welcoming space for family and friends to relax. The main living space is serviced by a reverse cycle heat pump with electric heat panels in remaining areas.
Glazed doors open out onto a variety of al fresco eating areas with stunning views through the garden and across to the D'Entrecasteaux Channel.
A second living room is an ideal place to hide the kids' toys or to set up a home office where you can still feel connected or isolated enough for concentrated work. A delightful studio/office, powered and internet accessible, is located some distance from the main residence.
Following the light and airy theme, the master bedroom is more of a suite than a bedroom with a delightfully inviting nook to entice you to indulge in your latest novel whilst taking in the stunning views across to Bruny Island. A large walk-in robe and stylish generous ensuite featuring polished concrete floor. The second bedroom has its own entrance to the deck making it a handy room for visitors or teenagers.
The new Colorbond extension perfectly matches the older part of the home (c. 1960) and has dramatically improved this beautiful, gracious semi-rural property.
This lifestyle family home includes a double garage, studio, large workshop with dual roller doors, established vegetable gardens, greenhouse, potting shed and an abundance of fruit trees. A vegetable garden and contemplation pond weave through the gardens to a perfectly maintained croquet or bowling lawn.
This is contemporary modern living at its best, where old meets new and where the refined elegance of the house spills effortlessly into the outside beautifully landscaped garden.
Kettering is a picturesque town on the edge of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and is the gateway to Bruny Island. It is a paradise for yachties with the Oyster Cove Marina close by and secluded anchorages of Bruny Island only a quick sail away.
Conveniently, the property is just 30 minutes' drive from Hobart and 20 minutes from Kingston with its medical centres, government services, supermarkets and shopping centres.
