Built circa 1895 and offered for sale for the first time in nearly a decade this archetypal Invermay property is sure to generate considerable market interest. The property has been extensively renovated to a very high standard, but every improvement has been rendered sympathetically with the age of the property. All modern comforts and conveniences have been provided, but not to the detriment of this home’s enduring character. Tall timber skirtings, Japanese glass, marble fireplace, wide Baltic Pine floor boards, ornate ceiling roses and cornices are just a handful of the features that will be appreciated by the discerning purchaser. Directly across the street is the council-maintained Caledonian Square with it spacious lawn, magnificent Oak trees and caf; an enticement to exercise pets and recreate with family and friends. It effectively provides an extension to the front yard of this property and is there to enjoy at any time. Nearby is Churchill park sports precinct and Heritage Forest with dedicated dog exercising ground, playgrounds and several kilometres of excellent walking and cycle tracks. Besides its evident charm this home is a mere two minute drive to the CBD, or alternatively, a safe bike ride or pleasant walk down through Inveresk past Tamar River boardwalk, University of Tasmania facilities, Aurora Stadium, cafes/restaurants and museum. Public transport is frequent and reliable. Enjoy all the benefits of city-living, but also the advantage of being able to escape at a whim.

Internal features include 3 very large bedrooms retaining original coal grates and mantles, near-new carpet laid in lounge room and all bedrooms, imported Sanderson wallpapers throughout, and polished Tasmanian Oak and Baltic pine flooring in hallway and kitchen/dining area. Two Daiken heat pumps (one installed in 2015) will keep you very cosy in winter and cool and comfortable in summer.
External features include low maintenance cottage-style gardens, automatic driveway gates with excellent back yard access for the trailer, caravan and boat if required and separate hard-standing for additional parking. The large double garage (one roller door being automatic) has work bench and ample storage, power points and lighting. It also includes a second toilet and hand basin. There is included also a separate and well-constructed tool shed with awning for additional storage. Last but not least there is a north-facing paved area that benefits from all-day sun together with a beautiful courtyard with brick barbecue accessed via French doors from the kitchen and dining area for entertaining and relaxation.

An adorable property that would suit a broad range of buyers, but especially those who appreciate the history and appeal of these century-old homes and the lifestyle benefits of a home on the very fringe of the family-friendly city centre of Launceston.
