One of the most appealing homes in South Launceston, Myola was built in 1920 and whilst keeping all its original features, it as been updated to provide comfortable living space for the modern family. This elegant Edwardian house boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms and garaging for three cars or two cars and a caravan or boat. The chills of winter won’t bother you with reverse-cycle, ducted heating to all rooms and a working fireplace in the living room.
You may feel transported to a bygone era when you step inside the front door of Myola. Filtered light comes through the leadlight windows in the front door and surrounds and an outstanding fretwork creates an arched entrance to the rest of the house. A pressed tin dado, original light fitting and ceiling rose complete the illusion of a grander time.
The state of the art kitchen features European appliances with an electric double oven and gas hobs featuring a larva rock barbecue and wok burner, an integrated fridge and masses of cupboards and bench space. The adjoining atrium provides an informal sitting and eating area and makes the kitchen the hub of the home. From the atrium double doors open onto a deck with stunning views over Launceston and the Tamar River.
The formal dining room is reached from both the hallway and the kitchen. This large room features a fireplace and overmantel of the period with double doors to the sunroom which is currently being used as a hobby room but would make a good office or afternoon suntrap.
All the bedrooms are large and feature built in cupboards and fireplaces. The master bedroom has leaded windows on two walls which helps create an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity.
A huge leaded bay window in the sitting room is framed by blackwood fretwork and features a window seat along its entire length. A mirrored overmantel and fireplace dominate one wall and an original art deco light fitting hangs from the magnificent ceiling rose. Original ceiling roses feature in all living areas of this house.
While the main bathroom has been updated with heating and a tiled wet area, it has maintained its period feel with a pressed tin dado and fully restored cast iron bath. Again a beautiful leaded window lets in a peaceful, filtered light pattern.
Myola is set on a large block with stately trees and impressive gardens.
A viewing of this home is certain to impress.
