I am delighted to offer for sale this truly historic home which combines many features from the Victorian and Federation eras.
From the beautiful wrap around verandah with timber support posts, to the matching first floor gable ends and the decorative timber detailing, this character home oozes old world charm and grandeur.
This site was part of an original 40 acre land grant to John Taylor and the building dates back to Circa 1895.
This unique property forms part of the Historic Cultural Heritage of Tasmania.
The rear section of the house was an early addition, evidence of which can be seen in the lower ceilings and different weather board profile.
