Rich in character and seamlessly enhanced with contemporary upgrades, the home offers a rare balance of heritage charm and refined comfort, all within walking distance of the vibrant CBD. Spanning three generous levels, the residence is bathed in natural light and defined by its timeless architectural features.

A sophisticated main bathroom is located on the middle level, complemented by a powder room on the ground floor. Each bathroom has been designed in harmony with the home's character, featuring subway tiling and classic fittings and fixtures that echo its heritage. Practical elements have been thoughtfully integrated, including a European laundry discreetly positioned within closets beneath the staircase on the ground level. Outside, a sheltered entrance porch enhance the home's street presence, while off-street parking at the rear adds further convenience. Perfectly positioned within easy walking distance to Launceston's CBD, the home enjoys immediate access to essential services, shops, restaurants, cafés and leading schools.
