Rich in history and beautifully updated for modern living, this remarkable property dates back to the late 1830s, originally constructed as a store. Throughout its history, it has served various roles including a rest home, hostel, and bed and breakfast, before evolving into the unique and character-filled private residence it is today.

The home features eight bedrooms and five bathrooms, thoughtfully renovated to blend modern comfort with its original heritage charm. The living spaces include a cosy snug with a wood fire, a lounge room with bay windows that open onto a wraparound verandah, a separate office or potential fifth bedroom, a dining room adjoining the kitchen, and a breakfast room that opens onto a private deck.

The kitchen is stylish and modern, complemented by updated bathrooms that enhance the home's timeless appeal. Original timber floorboards, joinery, and high ceilings preserve the craftsmanship and charm of a bygone era. Additionally, the home includes a cellar, adding to its unique features.

Positioned directly opposite the beach and Swansea Jetty, the property offers an enviable coastal lifestyle. Local shops, cafés, the golf club, and bowls club are all within easy walking distance. For leisure, residents can enjoy drives to local wineries and the renowned Freycinet National Park.

Adding further versatility, the property includes two self-contained units at the rear, ideal for rental income, extended family living, or guest accommodation. Both units are currently tenanted, providing immediate income potential.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a historic coastal home that offers character, flexibility, and income potential in a truly outstanding location on Tasmania's East Coast.
