Set in one of Launceston's most sought-after addresses, this beautifully maintained and presented circa 1850 residence on High Street, East Launceston, captures timeless elegance and modern practicality in equal measure. Within walking distance from the CBD, Aquatic Centre and St Georges Square, the home offers a rare combination of privacy, heritage appeal, and urban convenience.
Tucked discreetly behind a substantial brick fence, the property enjoys a sense of seclusion and tranquility. Once inside, the home reveals its character and craftsmanship - from the high ceilings and heritage front doors to the bold statement staircase that anchors the interior.
Set across two levels, the ground floor accommodates the living spaces, including a generous lounge highlighted by a bay window and marble fireplace mantle and surrounds. The adjoining dining and kitchen areas provide a practical flow for everyday living and entertaining, complemented by a guest toilet for convenience. A sunroom or additional living area extends from the rear of the home, with French doors opening onto a deck that feels nestled among the treetops, offering glimpses of the hills to the east.
Upstairs are three well-appointed bedrooms - the main with a walk-in robe and the others featuring built-ins - along with additional storage cupboards, two bathrooms (one with a skylight), and further natural light filtering through a skylight above the landing.
The property continues to impress outside with a fully fenced, beautifully nurtured garden featuring established trees including a Cedar, Gleditsia, Mt Fuji Cherry and Ornamental Almond, along with peaceful, tucked-away spaces to sit and unwind. There's also extensive under-deck storage for garden tools and equipment.
Practical elements include a three-car garage with remote roller doors, a monitored alarm system, and a separate laundry room - features rarely found in homes this close to the city centre.
A fine example of period craftsmanship in a blue-chip location, this home offers privacy, beauty, and functionality in one of Launceston's most distinguished streets.
