Ensconced in late 19th-century history and architecture, this magnificent iconic Italianate style residence is prestigiously located within Launceston’s city centre.
Built in the 1880s on 1,482 sqm and set over three levels, this gorgeous property successfully combines the elegance of the original building with the demands of contemporary living.
The wide hallway of original limed Tasmanian Oak floorboards opens out to the expansive, light-filled interiors. Original crystal chandeliers and pressed metal ceilings blend harmoniously with floor to ceiling double glazed doors that open to a private rear courtyard.
Impressive living and dining rooms boast generous proportions and capture the magnificent northerly aspect with uninterrupted and expansive views across the city and Tamar River. The deep north-facing balcony offers both superb views and privacy and is the perfect place for a casual dinner, cocktails or a quiet spot to read.
Accommodation comprises four queen-sized bedrooms and three bathrooms plus a powder room. The spacious master suite has a king-sized bedroom, dressing room and full en suite bathroom with walk-in shower, double sink, WC and bidet.
A floating timber staircase, lit with LED treads and encased in glass, leads to the upper level with two bedrooms, en suite bathroom, office and large additional storage areas.
The lower lever comprises a guest bathroom and en suite, billiard/games room, cellar and storage. French doors lead out to the lower balcony and terraced gardens.
Outside, the terraced garden is distinctly low maintenance and lushly green, with original balustrading. An additional paved courtyard offers total privacy and the opportunity to entertain in style.
A bespoke gourmet kitchen with a red marble bench perfectly complements the mirrored splashbacks, integrated Miele dishwasher, 900mm and 300mm Smeg ovens, teppanyaki hotplate, Franke integrated sink and tapware, refrigerator drawer and walk-in pantry. All overhead cupboards are fully automated and all lighting is LED.
This wonderfully restored home has been fully fitted with hydronic heating, underfloor insulation, double glazing, all LED lighting, video security, pin coded entry and bespoke cabinetry throughout. Additionally, this luxurious property includes a double carport, marble bathrooms and powder room, reverse cycle air conditioning, electric gates and a separately titled contemporary workshop and sporting equipment storage. There is also parking for up to six extra cars.
Discreetly positioned beyond a 4m wall, this distinguished home is available for private inspections only.
