Rich in history and beautifully transformed for modern family living, this unique four-bedroom home offers space, charm and an unbeatable lifestyle in one of Launceston's most convenient locations. Once a thriving corner store, the property underwent an extensive renovation in 2007, thoughtfully converted into the warm and welcoming family home it is today while retaining its timeless character.
Step inside to discover soaring 9-foot ceilings adorned with ornate cornices, polished timber floors through the kitchen, dining and hallways, and stunning feature timber doors sourced from a Melbourne convent, adding a touch of craftsmanship rarely found today. The spacious lounge room, formerly the original shopfront, provides an inviting space for family gatherings, while the generous kitchen features a retro double oven stove, perfect for those who love to cook and entertain.
Designed with growing families in mind, all four bedrooms include built-in wardrobes. The main bathroom is full of character, complete with a classic clawfoot bath, separate shower and toilet, and vintage vanity, while a second toilet in the laundry adds everyday practicality.
Behind the scenes, the major work has already been done. During the 2007 renovation, the home was fully rewired and replumbed, re-roofed, replastered throughout, and insulated in both the walls and ceiling, providing comfort and peace of mind for years to come. Two electric heaters keep the home cosy throughout the cooler months.
Outside, the private rear yard has been designed for easy living, featuring established low-maintenance screening trees and shrubs, a large entertaining deck, and a covered rear porch complete with clear café-style blinds for year-round enjoyment. Two garden sheds provide excellent storage, while plans are available for a driveway carport, offering scope for future enhancement.
Positioned directly opposite St Thomas More's Primary School and within the sought-after catchments for both East Launceston and Punchbowl Primary Schools, the location is ideal for families. Daily conveniences are just a short stroll away, with the local supermarket, post office, cafés, restaurants, medical centre and pharmacy only a few blocks from your doorstep. Access to parks, sporting facilities and recreational spaces are nearby, while Launceston's CBD is just 2 kilometres away, making commuting effortless.
Lovingly held by the same family for the past 20 years, this is a home filled with history, character and cherished memories, now ready to welcome its next chapter.
