With sweeping views across the marina, surrounding countryside from kunanyi to Bruny Island, this impressive Kettering home offers a wonderfully relaxed lifestyle in a beautiful and private setting. Positioned on over an acre in the welcoming community of Kettering, and around 25 minutes from Hobart, the property feels peaceful and secluded while remaining close to the village, marina and everything this popular part of the Channel has to offer. The sense of space begins as you make your way through the automated gate and up the private driveway to the generous turning circle, with the home sitting beautifully within its established surrounds. A timber staircase leads to the entrance, where the warmth and character of the home immediately becomes apparent. At the heart of the home is the impressive open plan living and dining area. Soaring backsawn Tasmanian pine lined cathedral ceilings, polished timber floors and expansive glazing create a beautiful sense of light and space, while large sliding doors open directly onto the substantial deck and frame the ever changing outlook beyond. It is a room designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Gather around the open Jetmaster fireplace during the cooler months, throw open the doors in summer or simply sit back and watch the boats on the water. Central ducted heating provides additional comfort throughout the home. The decks become a natural extension of the living space and provides a wonderful setting for entertaining family and friends, enjoying a quiet morning coffee or taking in the magnificent garden and outlook. Sunsets over the mountains and valley create a beautiful backdrop to the west, while morning light glistens across the marina, waterways and towards Bruny Island. The renovated kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring stone benchtops and dual wall ovens, with an outlook across the entertaining area and pool complex so whoever is cooking can remain very much part of the conversation. The home currently offers three bedrooms. The generous main bedroom with BIR easily accommodates a king size bed and enjoys a peaceful garden outlook, while the guest bedroom captures lovely views towards the marina. The third bedroom is currently enjoyed as a spacious library and office. Its generous proportions also provide the opportunity to divide the room to create two separate bedrooms if desired, offering excellent flexibility as needs change. The main bathroom provides a touch of indulgence with a 12- man sauna, large spa bath and striking floor to ceiling slate tiling. A powder room and separate laundry completes the main residence and provides convenient access to the double garage with electric door and internal lock up at the rear of garage. Outside, the saltwater pool creates a private retreat and has recently been resealed. Surrounded by established landscaping, this is a wonderful space for summer entertaining, with garden lighting bringing the area to life as evening falls. Adjacent to the pool is a separate studio with its own living space and bathroom, providing valuable additional family accommodation or a flexible area for guests, hobbies or working from home. The magnificent established gardens have been thoughtfully created and include mature fruit trees, raised garden beds, a chicken coop and an abundance of seasonal colour. An Envirocycle system drip feeds the lower garden beds, while gutter guards provide another practical addition for easier property maintenance. At the rear of the property is a separate shed with power, providing useful additional space for storage, a workshop or hobbies. The property is also well equipped for comfortable and practical living, with approximately 60,000 litres of water storage, an equilibrium system and UV water filtration servicing the taps throughout the home. Security has also been carefully considered, with an alarm incorporating both visual and audible alerts, together with security for the gate and garage and a camera system. With local cafes and dining options within easy reach, the marina close by and some of southern Tasmania's most beautiful scenery quite literally on your doorstep, this is a home that captures the relaxed lifestyle and natural beauty of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel.
