Perfectly positioned in the heart of Launceston, this heritage-rich cottage embodies a storied past blended with the comfort and sophistication of modern living, within easy walking distance of the very best the city has to offer.
Originally built circa-1880, the home presents a picture of timeless street appeal. A classic white picket fence frames the garden, where leafy trees and manicured greenery lead to a striking red front door that sets the tone for the warmth and charm that lies within. A covered front verandah completes the home's picture-perfect façade.
Inside, the home's superb period features have been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully enhanced through considered renovations. Polished timber flooring, original fireplaces, high ceilings, and detailed craftsmanship throughout create a sense of enduring elegance.
The cosy lounge, complete with in-built timber bookcases, flows through to the dining room, a beautiful glass-encased atrium filled with natural light. This space is ideal for relaxed meals or entertaining and opens directly to the private courtyard, allowing the living and dining areas to connect seamlessly with the outdoors.
The kitchen is both spacious and functional, with timber cabinetry and extensive bench space, including a central island. A large pantry ensures practicality matches the aesthetic, creating a space inviting and efficient.
Accommodation includes three light-filled bedrooms, one featuring built-in wardrobes, with all three retaining their original fireplaces, now decorative but still rich in history and character.
The bathroom is modern and elegant, with a bath and shower combination, a sleek vanity and a toilet, providing a contemporary touch that complements the home's classic features.
The property's gardens are truly special, providing a lush, private sanctuary in an urban setting. Shady trees, flourishing rosebushes and vibrant seasonal colour create a tranquil escape that feels a world away from the bustle of city life.
Additional features include a large laundry with generous storage, along with an external shed. Year-round comfort is assured with reverse-cycle air. The grounds are fully fenced, and off-street parking for two vehicles is provided within the driveway.
Ideal for low maintenance inner city living, a lock up and leave town base, or the perfect investment opportunity with proven long term rental history.
Providing rare charm and enduring appeal, where history meets modern ease, this impressive property, occupying a sought-after city location, will appeal to those seeking style, comfort, and convenience in Launceston.
