85 Watsons Rd, Kettering is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1967. The property has a land size of 19170m2 and floor size of 170m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in May 2022.
Situated on just shy of 5 acres of predominantly pasture, this 4 bedroom (or 3 bedroom / 2 living) home has been cleverly adapted to providing a large, rural family home. The smart use of contemporary materials articulates the new components and upgrades the aesthetic of the original with sensitivity and class.
The upstairs extra living area (or fourth bedroom) is bathed in sunlight and has both water and scenic rural views. It's a special place to escape to.
There are polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards throughout the home providing a warm country feel and is complemented by an inviting, modern kitchen. There is a freestanding, attractive wood heater which can be used to heat the hot water, run the hydronic heating system or even be used as a cooktop/stove. Three generous bedrooms downstairs with 2 bathrooms in close proximity.
A large deck off the kitchen/dining area is an ideal place to sit and enjoy all that the property has to offer.
Little Oyster Cove Creek runs down one side of the property and 3 fenced paddocks, a dam, one chicken coop and an open horse shelter are all ready and established to house your chosen pets and livestock.
There is a variety of established fruit trees on the property: apricots, apples, berries, plums and more, and the most stunning mulberry tree adjacent to the house providing a canopy of shade.
A 6m x 6m double garage with power and concrete slab together with a 6m x 6m storage area is an added bonus to the property.
Few minutes down the road takes you to the Kettering Ferry Terminal (gateway to Bruny Island), Oyster Cove Inn and various cafes. The property is only a 30 minute drive to Hobart's CBD.
