A historical treasure, this gorgeous home was built in 1889 by J.R. Green and is a rare piece of Launceston history. Beautifully maintained with the utmost respect for preserving the properties character and charm, it is a fine example of Victorian architecture. Rich in character, the house features stained-glass windows, intricate timberwork and ornate fireplaces, all contributing to its timeless appeal.
The original stables and coach house offer great potential to be converted into an Airbnb. Renovations, including draftsman-approved plans (STCA) have already begun, ensuring the preservation of its wood and heritage. The building has access to power and water. The lower ground is open with two adjoining rooms that once served as the original horse stables and coach rooms, while the upper floor features Tasmanian Oak floorboards and raked ceilings providing incredible views. This property is ideal for families or investors alike.
With multiple living spaces and five spacious bedrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone. The modern kitchen is a standout, featuring an island bench, a renovated butler's pantry, and contemporary appliances, all complemented by the unique original woodfire oven. The home showcases beautifully renovated laundry and bathrooms, one of which is converted from an original bedroom. These bathrooms feature underfloor heating and an original bath, blending modern comfort with classic charm. Adding to the charm, the original blacksmith shed is perfect for storage or workshop needs.
Outdoor living is exceptional, with multiple entertaining areas, including a charming courtyard and a deck that offers breathtaking views. Surrounded by whimsical gardens and a productive orchard with a variety of fruit trees and veggie patches, this property invites you to enjoy the beauty of nature. Conveniently located just a two-minute drive from Launceston's CBD and close to schools, shops, and scenic walking trails, it is truly a remarkable find.
