Positioned in one of South Launceston's most sought-after locations, this captivating character home beautifully combines heritage elegance with modern comfort.

Featuring original Tasmanian Oak flooring, exquisite stained-glass windows, ornate ceiling roses, decorative fretwork, original doors and hardware, and meticulously restored fireplaces, every aspect of this home tells a story of enduring beauty and charm. Extensively maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, the home skillfully marries historic allure with the conveniences of contemporary living.

Recent significant improvements include upgraded plumbing and electrical systems, roof restoration, refreshed interior finishes, updated tapware, and the addition of a modern solar system installed in 2023. The Mitsubishi ducted heating and cooling system ensures year-round comfort with energy efficiency, all while preserving the character of the home.
