The charming facade of this 1935 cottage creates a wonderful feel as you stroll up the quiet country street. The quaint front verandah makes an immediate impression as the perfect spot to relax with a cuppa and a bikkie. You can't stop for too long though because this delightful cottage is ready to renovate and reignite the charming period features.
The home has a flexible layout with 2 good sized bedrooms with a formal lounge, and separate dining and kitchen, or three bedrooms with a combined living/dining. The home is kept comfortable all year round by a wood fire and reverse-cycle airconditioner. There is still plenty of character in the home with classic timber sash windows and high ceilings. Outside there is a closed carport with extra sheds, a covered BBQ area, and there is also a storage shed/workshop with extra toilet built in the same era as the house. There is plenty of character to retain in the house if you wanted to do a full renovation, or you could simply give it a coat of paint any enjoy it just as it is. The home would make a great project for an investor, serial renovator or first home buyer.
This lovely home is situated in 'The Forest Town' of Geeveston, or 'Rosehaven' for the avid ABC watcher. Despite its new rise to fame, Geeveston is actually a sleepy, yet cultural town en-route to one of southern Tasmania's most famous attractions - the Tahune Air Walk. The Air Walk is a perfect day trip for your in-laws who are scared of heights, or simply a great day out for the family. The township has plenty of amenities including a hardware, petrol station, a school, several cafes, shops, and the well known Geeveston Bakery & Pie Shop. According to Robert L from Melbourne on Tripadvisor, they make the best chunky steak and cheese pie he's had - better buy one and find out for yourself! The larger town of Huonville is just 15 minutes away by car, Hobart is 45 minutes, and if you head south for 20-25 minutes you will find Dover - full of pristine quiet beaches to enjoy in the summer.
