68 Quarry Rd, Forcett

Steeped in history and sympathetically renovated for modern living, 68 Quarry Road is a rare opportunity to live in a piece of Tasmania's heritage. Built in C1847 as the original Forcett School House, the home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the character and craftmanship of its early colonial origins. From the wide, north-facing verandah, crafted from celery top pine, the home takes in a serene outlook of lush countryside. Inside, the original open plan design flows across approximately 165m2 floor area across one level with three bedrooms positioned at one end and expansive light-filled living areas at the other. High cathedral ceilings, pit-sawn bluegum floorboards, convict brick and sandstone fireplaces create a spacious and warm ambience within the home. The country-style kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated by the current owners, featuring marble stone benchtops, soft-close cabinetry and generous storage space to cater for families, while the distinctive hybrid wood/electric cooking stove/oven forms an eye-catching centrepiece. Double glazed and draft-proofed sash windows ensure light and comfort year-round, complimented by a newly installed zoned, ducted air conditioning system, new wood heater and ceiling insulation. The home has also been fit with new Luxaflex honeycomb blinds. Accommodation comprises a master suite with walk-in wardrobe plus two additional double bedrooms (one with built-ins), each with plush new carpet flooring and unique outlooks of the surrounding landscapes. The family bathroom offers a standalone bath, separate shower and vanity, while an updated laundry enjoys stone benchtops and convenient external access. Set on just under two acres of land, the grounds have been designed for ease of living, privacy and enjoyment with a balance of low-maintenance gardens and a fully fenced paddock, ideal for pets or livestock. Outdoor living is catered for with an entertaining deck and grassed area, while a garden shed, storage shed, and large original stable offer further versatility. Located within just 5 minutes of Dodges Ferry Primary School, 10 minutes from local beaches and the Sorell township, 15 minutes to Hobart International Airport, and 30 minutes to Hobart CBD, 68 Quarry Road offers a country lifestyle without compromising on convenience.
