Overview

The House and the Church Railton

77 Foster Street is two buildings on one title: a four-bedroom family home converted from a character church and hall, and the original Uniting Church power connected, substantial in scale, and genuinely open to whatever you have in mind, (Subject to Council Approvals). Set on around an acre in Railton Tasmania's Town of Topiary the main residence has been renovated to suit a family who wants to live well. The kitchen is worth pausing on: the original timber character remains, joined by a modern extension that brings extra bench space, generous storage, a 900mm oven, and a six-burner gas cooktop. A Daikin heat pump and wood heater keep the place honest through a Tasmanian winter. Solar panels take care of the running costs beyond that. Four bedrooms, or three and a study, the main with ensuite and built-in robes. The home's character runs deeper than the conversion. Tasmanian timbers throughout solid Blackwood stairs, a solid Myrtle front door, exposed beams overhead are the kind of detail that is very difficult to manufacture in a new build. Out front, a stand of mature pines frames the property. The sequoia among them is hard to miss. Then there is the church. Whether you're thinking self-contained guest accommodation, an art studio, a gallery, a serious home office, or something you haven't fully articulated yet the structure has power connected and approximately 13 x 7 metres of main room to work with. It adds a dimension to this property that doesn't exist elsewhere on the market. The land does the rest. Established fruit trees already in place cherries, apples, plums and more. Town water and sewer connected. Room for a vegetable garden, chickens, and the slower pace of life that takes years to build from scratch but is already here. Sheffield is ten minutes. Devonport is twenty. Get in touch with the 4front team to book your private inspection.
