409 Brightwater Road, Howden, Tas 7054

Just a short walk from the peaceful waters of North West Bay, this inviting three-bedroom home on Brightwater Road offers a private and relaxed lifestyle in the sought-after community of Howden.

Tucked behind a charming front garden, where a beautiful deciduous tree adds character to the street view, the home's entrance is discreetly set to the side behind a front gate, enhancing the sense of privacy. A covered porch and walkway, draped in climbing greenery, create a welcoming first impression.

Inside, a hallway leads to the light-filled living and dining area which is fitted with a wall mounted reverse cycle air conditioner (heat pump). With warm wood panelling on two walls and garden views through the windows, this space feels both cosy and connected to nature. A sliding door from the lounge opens to the back garden, making outdoor entertaining easy.

The kitchen, accessible from the dining room, is well-organised with ample worktop space, built-in pantry, freestanding oven and range hood. Just off the kitchen, the separate laundry has its own door leading to a handy drying area in the side garden.

For those with renovation ideas, there's potential to open up the living areas for a more modern, open-plan design. However, the existing layout offers a traditional comfortable feel.

The three bedrooms are located off the main hallway, with the largest featuring built-in storage. The family bathroom includes a bath, walk-in shower, and vanity, while a separate WC with a hand basin adds convenience.

The fully fenced back garden is a peaceful retreat, surrounded by established trees and screening plants that create a private, leafy setting. Veggie beds, a paved area on the sunny north-eastern side, and a garden shed add to the outdoor appeal, perfect for keen gardeners or those who simply love spending time outside.

At the front of the home, there's a single garage with a automatic roller door and practical workshop space.

Living in Howden means enjoying the best of both worlds-tranquillity and convenience. The nearby foreshore is perfect for walks, a refreshing swim, or simply taking in the stunning views. The popular Peter Murrell Reserve, with its walking, cycling, and horse-riding tracks, is also close by.

For everyday essentials, Blackmans Bay is just a 5 minute drive, offering a shopping centre, restaurants, schools, and cafés. Margate, with its shops, boat launching facilities, and Dru Point playground, is also nearby. Kingston is a little further, and Hobart CBD is just 25 minutes away.

This home is an excellent choice for those looking to downsize, embrace a semi-retired lifestyle, or take their first step onto the property ladder in a peaceful, well-connected location.
