74 Victoria Road

Thoughtfully renovated with care for its heritage, this charming circa 1900 home blends modern comfort with the timeless warmth of country living. Tucked away along a quiet no-through road and surrounded by rolling pastureland, the setting feels wonderfully private and expansive, offering the atmosphere of a much larger rural holding without the upkeep. Set on approximately 1,600sqm, the property has been beautifully set-up for relaxed family living and a more self-sufficient lifestyle, with space for productive veggie gardens, fruit trees, chickens, children and pets, all framed by a sweeping rural outlook, even the neighbour's dam, which is a real feature, more like a picturesque lake that changes mood with the weather and home to two resident platypus. From the moment you arrive, the striking red front door offers a warm welcome. Inside, the home unfolds with a natural sense of flow, centred around a generous dining room that forms the heart of the home. From here, rooms connect easily to one another, through to the inviting lounge, the kitchen and up the stairs to a substantial additional attic space. Original character features have been carefully preserved and thoughtfully balanced with contemporary updates. High ceilings, timber floors and ornate detailing speak to the home's heritage, while the interiors feel fresh, comfortable and highly functional. The country kitchen is particularly appealing, designed for everyday practicality, with extensive storage, including a full walk-in pantry, quality appliances, and a beautiful Belling period-style stove that sits perfectly within the home's aesthetics. The bedrooms are spacious, the master suite comes with a walk in robe behind a feature fireplace and a second room is ready to develop further. Maybe an ensuite bathroom and more robe space. The main bathroom is central and adds a touch of luxe with the stylish tiles and a full walk-in shower. There are lovely views from every window. The main living room also enjoys peaceful views across the paddocks and provides a cosy gathering place through the cooler months, warmed by an easy and efficient pellet fire. The long strip windows frame the views like art on the wall and the ceiling height and intriguing design really add to the appeal of this space. Up the stairs, the attic could be many uses, ideal as a guest retreat, studio, study/home office or even another living area. The sunroom benefits from a northern aspect as well as the peaceful views over the garden and pastures, this space is usable all year round. A faux fire sets the scene on cooler days, providing a wonderful spot to relax. From here there is direct access to the covered deck. Bathed in sunlight and overlooking rolling farmland, neighbouring vineyard vines and a picturesque dam that resembles a small lake, the deck is a truly restful place to slow down and enjoy the surroundings, whether with a morning coffee, a good book, or a glass of local wine at the end of the day. Stepping into the garden, there are established fruit and olive trees, prepared vegetable and herb beds, ideally positioned for easy access from the kitchen, and a charming glasshouse at the bottom of the garden creates an ideal environment for propagation and seasonal produce. The lemon trees are bursting with lemons and the garden is full of colour, forever changing with the seasons. Beneath the home, a cleverly configured space provides excellent storage and practicality.To the side a shelter could be made into an outdoor entertaining, or clad to be a shed, otherwise a very useful space for storing things out of the weather. Despite its peaceful rural feel, the property remains conveniently close to local amenities. Huonville's shops, schools and services are just five minutes away, while the renowned Home Hill Winery, with its acclaimed restaurant and cellar door, and the famous Summer Kitchen bakery are just down the road. Hobart is an easy commute of approximately 35 minutes, making this a rare opportunity to enjoy a relaxed country lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.
