Built in 1933 and held by the one family ever since, 5 Officer Street is a truly special Art Deco residence a home that has been meticulously cared for and deeply cherished for generations. Rich in character and architectural integrity, this is not simply a house, but a beautifully preserved piece of New Norfolk's history.
From the outset, the home makes a lasting impression. A large elevated verandah creates a gracious entrance, framed by vintage roses, two magnificent palm trees, and established gardens, with views stretching toward Mount Field. Double doors open into an extra-wide entrance hallway, where exquisite timber fretwork, picture rails, high ceilings and stunning pressed tin ceilings immediately reveal the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
The floorplan is wonderfully flexible, offering up to three bedrooms, or alternatively two bedrooms with multiple living areas, adapting easily to modern living while retaining its original soul. A thoughtful 1970s extension introduced a generous, sun-drenched lounge and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space light-filled, welcoming and perfectly suited to everyday life and family gatherings.
Throughout the home lie beautiful Tasmanian oak floorboards, ready to be polished and brought back to their full splendour should the next custodians wish. Recent updates have been sensitively undertaken, including a Colorbond roof, updated wiring, and a new toilet within the bathroom, ensuring comfort and peace of mind while preserving the home's authenticity.
Heating is provided by an electric fan heater and a Daikin reverse-cycle air conditioner, offering year-round comfort. Outdoors, the garden continues the sense of abundance, with established apricot and nectarine trees complementing the palms and creating a private, tranquil setting.
Positioned on a quiet, no-through street just moments from the heart of New Norfolk, the location offers the perfect balance a short walk to shops, cafés and town conveniences, yet tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac setting.
Homes of this calibre, provenance and condition are rarely offered. With its enduring beauty, flexible layout and exceptional location, 5 Officer Street stands as a testament to thoughtful stewardship and timeless design a home to be treasured, enjoyed and carried forward with pride into its next chapter.
