The only way to describe this captivating Launceston property is stunning. The double storey solid brick home has been skilfully renovated, keeping the modern family’s needs in mind whilst maintaining the integrity and all that is wonderful about a house of this era.
This property manages to take all that is good from every year in between 1873 to 2016 to make it the ultimate family home.
Precious off street parking is via remote control access to a two car garage with adjoining storage room, along with further parking for one other car.
Downstairs you will find most of the home’s living areas and this can either be accessed by an internal staircase leading from the back door or the beautiful stone external steps. From the cosy sitting/reading room to the lounge and dining rooms there is a space for everyone to enjoy. The Chiminea Philippe open fire place will warm you in the colder months then throw open the French doors in the summer to enjoy the cooling breeze.
Hiawatha’s kitchen is built around a gloriously huge flamed granite topped island bench. Here you will enjoy a vast amount of storage and pantry space, a window seat for lounging and a spot for your Apple Mac. But the jewel in the crown is the four oven shiny black Aga.
Also on the ground floor you will find a powder room, a very special wine cellar and a laundry/ironing room that will make you want to do the washing.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and another living room featuring expansive floor to ceiling windows that overlook highly prized English style gardens. The commanding views over Launceston and the Tamar River tell a different story every day.
Double glazed windows, naturally waxed original floor boards, surround sound, filtered water through every tap top off the wish list of every discerning buyer.
