Launceston architect, Lionel Morrell was inspired by the famous 20th century American architect Frank Lloyd Wright when redesigning this spacious, modern, executive country home. The lavish two storey extension, completed in 2005 promotes the grandeur of ‘Glendale’. “Glendale ” is situated conveniently 20 minutes drive from Launceston and a shorter drive to the cities Airport via the historic village of Evandale.

The picturesque rolling countryside is a patchwork of hawthorn hedgrows and fertile crop and livestock farms. Beyond the immediate terrain “Glendale” enjoys extensive rural views of the Great Western Tiers.

The home offers generous space throughout its modern design. There are formal and informal dining rooms, a lounge room graced with ‘French doors’ and quality drapes and blinds. Kitchen is sunny and north facing. The study ,again spacious as is the appropriately balanced hallway and staircase leading to a pair of double bedrooms, a large bathroom and dressing rooms.
Returning to the ground floor – a long hallway, flanked by plenty of storage cupboards, leads to a ‘dormitory ‘size bedroom-rumpus area Bedroom 4 is opposite another glamorous bathroom.

A laundry, rear porch, separate toilet and more storage make up this area which open onto the rear ‘south’ garden.
