Overview

Built circa 1905, this elegant family residence showcases a harmonious blend of period charm and modern comforts, meticulously preserved through tasteful restoration. Nestled on a substantial 1052 square meter block, the property provides generous indoor and outdoor spaces within a short 10–15 minute walk to the Launceston CBD, enhancing both convenience and lifestyle.

The home's welcoming entry features a covered porch and original coloured-glass front door that open to a foyer accentuated by ornate fretwork, lofty ceilings with ceiling roses, and traditional sash windows. These authentic architectural details persist throughout the house, underlining the craftsmanship evident in every room. A notable feature is the rear enclosed verandah adorned with aluminium shutters and decorative iron lacework, leading to an additional bathroom and tiled foyer area—ideal for family or guest use.

The kitchen offers quality cabinetry and ample storage, seamlessly connecting to an outdoor patio perfect for relaxed dining or entertaining. From here, views extend towards the CBD and eastern mountain ranges, overlooking beautifully tended gardens featuring a mix of roses, native plantings, and mature fruit trees, which contribute to a tranquil outdoor atmosphere. Curved pathways meander through these established gardens, providing a delightful setting for gardening enthusiasts or outdoor leisure.

Accommodating four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home’s main bathroom stands out with its exquisite tiling and freestanding bath, exemplifying period style paired with modern function. The presence of five operational fireplaces throughout the property adds a unique warmth and character, complemented by ducted heating and cooling systems that ensure year-round comfort.

The fully fenced grounds support a secure environment for children and pets, alongside a sizable storage shed or workshop and off-street parking for four or more vehicles. Located close to educational institutions, sports facilities such as UTAS Stadium, local shops, and convenient transport, this property offers a rare combination of historic character, spaciousness, and proximity to urban amenities.
