It is only a special few that get the chance to enjoy a piece of Launceston’s history!! Now it is your turn!!
TARA was originally built for Richard Gee the 39th Mayor of Launceston, with stately reception rooms. The formal front room was purpose built with a special space for an organ that Richard had bought from the Wesleyan church in Paterson Street.
This iconic Launceston home is one of the few left in the exclusive part of Launceston with just so much privacy.
This magnificent home rich with authentic charm consists of 5 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, lovely large formal reception rooms, where you can almost hear the sound of voices from a bygone era, enjoying a sherry or two. Double French doors lead off both the reception room and master suite, to a wonderful wrap round verandah with original fret work which is the vantage point to enjoy the wonderful views over Launceston.
All rooms are of huge proportions, with 12 foot ceilings, mantel pieces, ceiling roses and lots of original features. There are 3 reception rooms which could be configured any way that suits your lifestyle. A large kitchen family room with sun drenched courtyard for today’s living just adds to this wonderful home.
With a beautiful parcel of land 2300m2 plus, this truly is a gardener’s paradise. Double carport and lots of additional parking complete this property.
