This magnificent home (circa 1890) is superbly located and offers peaceful, stylish living in generous light filled rooms. Set on over 2,000 sq m of established garden and lawn. Period features of this two story five bedroom residence include bay windows, high ceilings, high skirtings, ceiling roses, beautiful Baltic pine hall, open fire places, a veranda and an upstairs balcony.



The family living area is bordered by two sets of large sliding cedar doors (with energy efficient Comfort Plus glass), opening out to garden on two sides. A gas log fire adds lovely atmosphere to this space in the winter. The living area flows to the outside paved area, perfect for children playing and bike riding, BBQs and entertaining, and leading further into the expansive rear garden. Situated beside the family room is a huge and stylish bathroom and laundry with glass ceiling. It also opens to the rear paved area and serves many functions including as the perfect transition zone between outside and inside for those playing or gardening outside.



Adjoining the family living area is the kitchen and meals area with two French doors (one opening to a side patio) that further enhance the atmosphere of garden surrounds. The kitchen has been designed for ultimate functionality and comprises extensive granite benches, two ovens, and of course a dishwasher, stove top and range hood. The double carport is located conveniently close to the kitchen for easy unloading.



Three of the five large double bedrooms are quietly located upstairs away from the family living areas. Beautiful, spacious, light filled rooms with quality woollen carpets. The main bedroom adjoins a balcony and a bathroom (shower, bath, toilet, vanity) which also functions as a bathroom for the other two upstairs bedrooms. One of the other bedrooms has bay windows. Two further bedrooms are situated downstairs, including another with bay windows. Four of the bedrooms have original open fireplaces.



Further downstairs rooms include a gracious formal lounge and dining room, an office, and a music room, which could also function as a light filled library or gallery.



The rear garden area is a secure wonderland for children to play. On relatively flat land the established garden and yard includes a cubby house, sandpit, fruit trees (apricot, apple, fig, olive, plum, lemon, quince), full size volleyball court, garden shed/workshop, herb and vegetable gardens. All set within a surprisingly low maintenance garden that comprises an automatic watering system.



The main family living area has a choice of floor heating, gas log fire or reverse cycle air conditioning. The upstairs bedrooms have reverse cycle ducted air conditioning. Hot water is provided via a large capacity solar hot water heater.



Extensive parking is available with a double carport adjoining the house (with extensive shelf storage), a long driveway on the south eastern side and a semi circular drive at the front.



The property is wonderfully located approximately 2km east of Launceston's CBD, on prestigious Elphin Road. It is located in the zone for East Launceston Primary school and in very close vicinity to Launceston's private schools. The area is well catered for with a multitude of recreational facilities, including a state of the art aquatic centre, and medical services. Located within easy walking distance are the Newstead shopping centre and the Kmart plaza. A bus route runs along Elphin Road.



This amazing residence caters perfectly for a family with its location, size, layout and atmosphere.
