High St is one of Launceston’s premium addresses with many of the region’s classical Georgian homes dating back to the early beginnings in the town’s history. Number 17 is one of those.

With secure private access off Clarence Street this historical home offers fantastic off street parking which is a premium when living so close to the CBD. The original stables, now used as a stand-alone office/study and separate handyman storage room, offers an early glimpse of the home’s historical credentials.

Over two levels a versatile floor plan awaits. Upstairs features two large reception rooms that could serve as formal dining and a formal sitting room. All the original features are on display from the classic baltic floorboards, high ceilings and wonderful ornate pressed tin ceilings and walls.

The large hallway flows through to a warm and open family room and open plan kitchen. Timber plantation shutters for the large bay windows allow plenty of natural light to filter into the living areas and highlight views over Launceston and the Tamar River backdrop. This has all been recently renovated and features state of the art kitchen appliances.

One of the three bathrooms is upstairs, as well as the Master Bedroom with en-suite. These rooms are modern, opulent and feature beautifully crafted cabinetry fitting to the style of the home.

Downstairs offers four more bedrooms, another bathroom and laundry. These rooms are spacious and comfortable offering room to move for the entire family and all your guests.

The home has been fitted out with excellent heating solutions throughout, including heated floors in all bathrooms and the laundry, an important inclusion within a home of this scale.

Outside the garden features tall ornamental pear trees, silver birches and a wall of pittosporums to give a green fence of privacy and peace, enviable in such a central location.

Situated close to Launceston’s fantastic schools, walking distance to the town centre and its beautiful parks, this home and its location are exceptional.
