Modern Living with Country Charm and Space Situated upon almost 5 acres (1.99ha) of pasture, established shrubs and trees in picturesque Acton Park, this remarkable homestead combines contemporary country with functional family living. Enjoying restful rural views and glimpses of Frederick Henry Bay it is flooded with natural light with two glass atriums – one off the master suite and the other in the kitchen – providing sun-filled areas with views across the acreage. High timber ceilings and an abundance of glass provide the feeling of space, of which there is no shortage. The cleverly designed north facing atrium kitchen features curved caesarstone benchtops, providing more than ample family dining space, and is equipped with quality appliances and a large walk-in pantry. Double doors lead into the dining area and a sunken formal living space, with high pitched, timber ceilings. The centrally located entertainment/rumpus room features a timber bar complete with display shelving, sink and room for a bar fridge, with multiple cupboards providing additional storage. A parents wing features a spacious master bedroom with atrium, a large walk-in wardrobe/dressing room and a modern en-suite and is accessed via a glass walled hallway showcasing the immaculate gardens on either side and leading to the slate-tiled open plan living and kitchen area. Two other bedrooms are sizable, have mirrored built-in robes and adjoin the rumpus room whilst the nearby study/home office easily provides a fourth bedroom if required. All are serviced by a spacious family bathroom, separate toilet and laundry. Conveniently, there is a separate powder room located adjacent to the living areas for guest use. A free-standing wood heater in the family living area provides the home with year-round warmth and comfort, and sliding doors lead out onto the sandstone-tiled BBQ area, perfect for outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining. Additional self-contained accommodation is accessed by an undercover walkway. Ideal for overnight visitors, a teenage retreat, or as a spacious bedsitter complete with en-suite bathroom and wood heater, it adjoins the double garage and a 4 vehicle carport. A large, (approx. 100m2) garage/workshop with the capacity to house an additional 4 to 5 vehicles is located at the top of the private driveway. Attached are additional spaces, including a tack room, hay store and firewood storage. The extensive grounds have been well maintained and contain 5 paddocks, each fenced separately from the boundary, making them ideal for horses. There are 2 horse shelters, a fully enclosed vegetable patch, glass house, raised garden beds and fruit trees. Set back from the road, you will find peace, quiet and privacy in this wonderful location that is equal parts tranquil and functional. Just 15 minutes’ drive from the bustle of Hobart CBD, 10 minutes from the airport and only 5 minutes from the sand and surf at Seven Mile Beach, your family will feel worlds away in this idyllic and comfortable country retreat.
