8 Story Street, St Marys, Tas 7215

Constructed in 1880, this restored miner's cottage is one of the very few cottages of it's era still standing. With almost 150 years of stories to tell, there are still many more to be written at 8 Story Street, St Marys - and now it's your turn to write the next chapter at Story Cottage. 

In the heart of St Marys, our cottage is brimming with warmth and history that blend flawlessly with the comforts of modern living; from a white picket fence, to lace fretwork, traditional front door and timber floors burnished by over a century of family life. 

As you step inside you feel at home as the warmth of the wood heater wraps around you. The open plan living area welcomes you in and moves easily to the kitchen. Decadent timber floors hark to the history of the home whilst modern amenities throughout provide comfort that you expect today. With an historical heart, this home is the perfect blend of past and present. 

Bucking the trends of 1880, the bedrooms are very spacious and the master includes a large built in robe. Whilst beyond the living areas, the bathroom is very functional with a bath plus walk in shower and the benefit of a separate WC, and also laundry, do not go unnoticed. 

Outside, the sunny entertaining area and easily managed back yard have room to plant herbs, veggies and fruit trees. The 370m² block also includes a single garage and garden shed.

Back in the day, homes were built where it was convenient, and Story Cottage is no exception. Across the road from the iconic Purple Possum Cafe and Wholefoods, around the corner from the chemist, supermarket and hairdresser, and a hop and a skip to the bakery. Plus, with the school and skate park only metres up the road, this position can't get much better, or can it! With iconic St Patrick's Head to the east, Ben Lomond to the west, Freycinet National Park & Wineglass Bay to the south and world famous Bay of Fires to the north, St Marys is in the heart of the moutains, rivers and oceans.

Writing the next chapter of Story Cottage is now waiting for your narrative. Will you move straight in, create a short term accommodation offering (STCA), or continue to rent the home to the current tenant who comes with outstanding recommendations.

Homes that are 150 years old don't come on the market often, so if you love the original and unique charm that only a home with history can give, then I would love to enscribe your name on the land title as the next owner of Story Cottage. 

Please contact Heidi Howe and her team at Harcourts St Helens to arrange a time to view in person or virtually. As this home is tenanted, please allow a minimum 2 working days advance notice prior to inspection.
