Positioned in an elevated pocket of Trevallyn, this beautifully presented home combines original character with thoughtful modern improvements, generous living spaces and impressive views across the city, river and surrounding mountains. With extensive renovations already completed, the property offers a wonderful balance of charm, comfort and practicality, all within walking distance of Launceston's CBD and some of the area's most popular recreational attractions.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the beautifully renovated kitchen and living area, where large windows capture natural light and make the most of the elevated outlook. The renovation has been carefully considered, retaining the character of the original home while introducing a contemporary, open-plan space that feels bright, welcoming and connected to its surroundings. Original Tasmanian oak floorboards continue throughout, with matching old-growth timber sourced for the extension to maintain consistency between the old and new.
A standout feature of the kitchen is the impressive electric AGA stove, an addition that offers far more than conventional cooking. Providing a gentle, consistent source of warmth throughout the cooler months, it contributes to the home's comfort while adding a distinctive character to the space. The kitchen also features modern cabinetry, stone benchtops and a central island to create a practical space for everyday living and entertaining.
The adjoining living and dining area takes full advantage of its north-east orientation. Extensive glazing captures the morning sun, filling the space with natural warmth and light, while framing expansive views across Launceston and the surrounding landscape. Sliding doors open directly onto the elevated deck, extending the living space outdoors and creating a superb vantage point for the changing scenery throughout the day, from river activity to the city's fireworks displays. It's an outlook that can be appreciated year-round.
A separate lounge provides another comfortable living area, retaining original features including beautiful leadlight windows. This additional space offers flexibility for families who require an additional bedroom or those who simply appreciate having somewhere separate to relax, while the bedrooms continue the home's combination of traditional character and modern presentation.
The property also offers excellent versatility, with a downstairs room and bathroom accessible both internally and externally. This arrangement could be particularly appealing for those accommodating extended family, guests or older children seeking additional independence, while also presenting potential for short-stay accommodation (STCA).
Further flexibility is provided by the converted garage, which has been fully lined, insulated and fitted with heating, power and internet connectivity. Currently offering a comfortable space for a second home office, studio or hobbies, it also retains the ability to be converted back to vehicle accommodation with relatively straightforward alterations.
Considerable attention has been given to the home's energy efficiency and year-round comfort. A recently installed 9.9kW solar system, featuring quality SunPower panels and a Fronius inverter, complements the home's heating arrangements, which include the AGA stove, reverse-cycle heat pump, original fireplace and an automatic heat-transfer system. The renovated living areas benefit from additional insulation and double glazing, while a recently replaced colorbond roof provides another significant improvement.
Outside, the elevated deck offers a wonderful setting for entertaining, while a separate sheltered area beneath the home provides an additional space to sit and enjoy the garden. Established native plantings create privacy and attract local birdlife, contributing to the peaceful atmosphere of the property. There is also generous under-house storage.
The location is another major advantage. Trevallyn's shops, cafe's, school and local services are all within walking distance, along with Launceston College and the CBD. A park with children's play equipment is positioned directly across the road, while nearby access to Trevallyn Reserve provides an extensive network of walking and mountain bike trails. The Cataract Gorge is also within easy reach, offering an exceptional combination of city convenience and access to nature.
Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully improved, this is a home with genuine character and a level of comfort that reflects the care invested in it over time. With its impressive outlook, flexible accommodation and convenient Trevallyn position, it offers an appealing opportunity to enjoy one of Launceston's most established and sought-after suburbs.
