4 Crooke St, Port Huon TAS 7116, Australia
This gorgeous home, known fondly as ‘Magnolia Cottage was first erected in 1920 and now, well over a century later, it’s been lovingly restored into a charming family home that’s ready for its next custodians.
Magnolia Cottage sits on over half an acre of fenced grounds which incorporate sprawling lawns, well established productive gardens, a permanent creek, and plenty of space for the kids, chickens, and pets.
The home still maintains many of the original features that now sit alongside modern upgrades. The traditional floor plan sees you enter into the central hall, first passing the sunroom, which is the perfect spot for morning coffee and afternoon wind downs. Tasmanian Oak flooring and timber framed, sash windows are a consistent and stunning feature throughout, as are the high, Baltic Pine ceilings found in most of the rooms.
The kitchen has undergone recent renovations and stayed true to the country aesthetic. This has helped maintain the charm and character of the home’s vintage, while ensuring you have a clean, practical space to work in. Here you’ll find gas cooking, timber benchtops, a large pantry, and a dishwasher.
The dining room is incredibly generous in size and holds potential to be used as a multipurpose space. From here you will enjoy fantastic afternoon sun and you can access the gardens directly.
Each of the three bedrooms offer calming outlooks, and the master provides built in storage and a beautiful gas fireplace.
Outside you’ll find a 9m x 6m garage, terraced gardens, well established orchard trees, and a stunning magnolia, which is of course, the property’s namesake.
The sports centre, pool, and Marina are just across the street, there’s a well regarded hotel and restaurant nearby. From here you can walk along the new boardwalk into Geeveston, which is a fabulous country town, and you can drive into Hobart in less than an hour.
