Here is a rare hilltop find, with its own brand new guest studio, perched just above the popular township of Cygnet.
A renovated, much loved, weatherboard character home, located only seconds from the town centre but with wrap around fences and hedges, you quickly notice how well buffered it is from the road and neighbouring properties.
The home has been painstakingly and stylishly renovated and extended by its last two owners. Nothing has been left unthought of. All renovations have been completed by the same well regarded local builder and there is nothing more to spend.
Offering a very versatile and practical floor plan with a total of 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms plus the much sought after bonus of a new, spacious fully self contained guest studio offering a further 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The perfect North East aspect, ensures the house is light and bright all year round.
Drive up through an auto solar gate, into the sanctuary of a pretty garden setting, and directly into a large carport providing flat, undercover parking with access straight into a new mudroom/entry area. This area provides snug protection from the elements in all conditions and a great space to hang coats and hats.
The bright and airy guest studio is fitted with large skylights and beautiful Tassie Oak French doors opening onto a North East facing deck boasting long valley views over a protected rural zone that can never be built out.
You will also find a private bathroom with underfloor heating, shower, toilet and wall hung vanity, as well as a kitchen space with stainless steel sink and timber look bench tops. This great extra space offers versatility within the home or the potential for additional income. (The studio has been rented out for $200 per night)
Heading into the main part of the home, you will notice it is packed with features and there are views and gorgeous garden outlooks from every corner.
The kitchen is equipped with a 5 burner stovetop and oven, double sink with views out and over the established gardens as well as plenty of bench space for the avid cook. There is even a small but very practical butler's pantry.
Coming off the kitchen is another set of Tassie Oak French doors, that lead to the L shaped, spotted gum, covered entertaining deck with a beautiful, mature, fruit producing grapevine overhead. There is also a separate north facing small porch/deck plus pergola that provides another sheltered and private spot to sit out, especially on sunnier winter days.
The sliding doors to the lounge room provide cosy winter warmth, making the most of the closed woodfire and one of three split cycle air conditioners within the home. There are blinds throughout and new, high quality lined curtains have also been added for snugness and added year round thermal efficiency.
The light-filled master bedroom has built-in robes and an attractive ensuite, with bath/shower, toilet, wall hung vanity, underfloor heating and very useful direct access into the garden via a small spotted gum walkway.
The gardens feature established flowers, shrubs, and trees including rhododendrons, a magnolia, cherry, hellebores, lavender, roses and salvias. Spring brings spectacular bulbs and blossoms. There is a raised vegetable growing section all along the back of the house and there is even a fenced off corner to keep a few chooks if you wish. The established fruit trees include figs, lemon, apple, apricot and plum plus blackcurrant and gooseberry bushes. All the hard work has been done, whilst still leaving room for the keen gardener to add their own touch.
Cygnet is bustling with new 'infill' subdivisions popping up everywhere, but everything at this property has been cleverly calibrated to create great buffers and preserve green, rural outlooks from every corner. Within easy walking distance to schools, local businesses, eateries and cafes and less than an hour to Hobart, Cygnet is one of the most highly sought after locations for people to settle.
