Set at the last and highest point of a quiet no-through street, adjoining St Andrews Gardens and sharing a boundary with East Launceston, this beautifully renovated historic cottage offers privacy, character and exceptional convenience less than 750 metres from the Launceston General Hospital.
Warm, charming and full of personality, the home combines classic Launceston character with thoughtful modern improvements. Original timber floors, high ceilings, pressed-tin detail, timber windows and fireplaces are balanced by a renovated kitchen and bathroom, updated interiors and a calm, garden-connected feel throughout.
The living room is inviting and intimate, flowing through to a light-filled dining and kitchen area with stone benchtops, quality appliances, excellent storage and a walk-in pantry. A beautiful glazed door opens to the rear entertaining deck, where the home enjoys a private northern aspect among established trees and updated gardens.
There are three generous bedrooms, each with a distinct outlook and sense of warmth. The bathroom has been stylishly renovated with a fully tiled walk-in shower, black tapware and plantation shutters.
Since purchasing, the current owner has further improved the property with a considered internal and external repaint, updated gardens, a renovated and dedicated laundry/sauna room and the addition of a separate artist's studio, creating flexibility rarely found in a cottage of this scale.
Further practical upgrades include solar, heat pump hot water and Ecolux 70 window film throughout, improving comfort and energy efficiency while preserving the character of the home.
With its position near the hospital, city, East Launceston and parkland, 4 Galvin Street is equally suited to owner occupation, long-term rental, short-stay accommodation or a private city-edge retreat.
