18 Coolstore Rd, Huonville TAS 7109

Situated across the road from the Huon River, and facing north with a view of Sleeping Beauty, this home captures the natural beauty of this highly sought after area. Built in 2008, this delightful property would make a terrific, low maintenance Airbnb, holiday home or permanent residence given its proximity to the township and river. Designed with sustainability in mind with a 1.4kw grid-connect solar system and honeycomb blinds throughout the living area to offer added thermal efficiency, the home also features a reverse-cycle air conditioner, panel heaters in the bedroom and a newly installed, ultra-efficient pellet fire. Pellet fires offer excellent heating and the ambience of a wood fire without the hassle of splitting firewood. Simply tip in pellets, press a button and enjoy!

Inside, this home is centred around an impressive open plan kitchen with huge amounts of bench space and finished with striking timber features. Central to the kitchen, French doors lead onto the front verandah and this flows onto the handcrafted stone entertaining area and fire pit. This new addition to the home creates a wonderful European feel as it wraps around the front of the home, and would be a popular drawcard for holiday guests. The entertaining area was designed with the view and landscape in mind, and is the perfect spot to relax on a warm evening with a fire going and a wine in hand or enjoying the snow-capped mountain on a crisp winter night. Back in the house, a well lit dining space offers room for a huge dining table for entertaining, or enjoying meals as a family and the cozy lounge is the ideal retreat in the evenings. The whole living space is light and bright with many windows allowing warm northern light to flood the space, all fitted with quality honeycomb blinds for the cooler months. Down the hallway, the three good sized bedrooms all feature built-in wardrobes and quality carpets. The central family bathroom is finished in a classic country style with a separate toilet for added practicality. A euro laundry off the bathroom is packed with storage and cleverly hides this behind quaint timber doors.

Outside, this gorgeous property sits on a low maintenance 502m2 block, and benefits from a large nature strip which feels like your own private lawn. There is a single garage under the roofline, and two off street carparking spots on the concrete driveway. The gardens are all contained within the magnificent stone walls ensuring minimal work is needed to maintain a polished look. You or your holiday guests can enjoy the public jetty just across the road, perfect for dropping in kayaks or for fishing, and further around the river there's a boat ramp on the well maintained esplanade with park and barbeque area. During summer, food vans are located along the esplanade and the area is a buzz with families enjoying picnics by the river.
