Here is a home filled with character - in Derby, in the beautiful North East corner of Tasmania, just 25 minutes from Scottsdale; Derby is proclaimed as “the Mecca of mountain biking”.

The3 bedroom timber house with artists studio and two car garage sits on an easy-care 1/4 acre block, located on a quiet back street, just two minutes from the mountain bike trail head. It is set on the hillside facing to the north-east, looking down on the Ringarooma River and the waters of Briseis-Lake, shimmering through the tree-line.

Verandas on three sides offer sheltered areas to sit and enjoy the local flora and fauna and to watch the native parrots visiting.

The house offers 3 Bedrooms, one with open fireplace.
Bathroom with toilet and magnificent round leadlight window, easy access walk-in shower and modern vanity.
Separate laundry, with plenty of storage.
Leadlight windows also feature in the dining area and pantry.

The Tasmanian timber kitchen has superb inlaid woodwork created by a craftsman builder. It boasts a walk-in pantry, large fridge-freezer, electric stove, dishwasher and double sink, with plenty of storage in overhead cupboards as well as easy glide drawers for crockery and pans. All white goods will be included in the sale.
There is glowing Tasmanian hardwood flooring in living areas, carpets in bedrooms and ceramic tiling in wet areas.
Heating is by a large centrally located wood heater plus an airconditioner/heat pump.
From the open plan lounge/dining area with large double glazed windows, you can open the French doors and step out onto the spacious timber deck, which offers majestic views over Derby and beyond to nearby mountains - ideal for entertaining and leisurely lunches in this sunny north-eastern position.

The house also has 8 solar panels to make the most of it's sunny position and save money on your electricity-bills!

Follow the wide driveway down to a large double garage, size: 8m x 6.5m, with two remote controlled roller doors, 240 volt power and lighting, plenty of built-in shelving for storage and ample room for two cars and bikes, plus a work bench.

Halfway down the garden path is the Artist Studio, size: 6m x 7.2m, with a bathroom and toilet and lots of natural light.
The studio would lend itself readily to short term rental with a nice return on your investment!

This wonderfully restored miner's cottage with large extension creates a warm, welcoming and practical home, and with its close proximity to the Blue Derby mountain bike trails, gives one options for short term rental of the house and/or studio. Inquiries are welcome, and your inspection can be easily arranged at a convenient time.
