Launceston TAS 7250

One of the three National Trust listed "Dunorlan Cottages", an elegant c 1881 terrace that instantly became a Launceston landmark, and has only become more desirable with the passage of time. This evocative residence reveals all the benefits of a just completed renovation where the commitment to quality is abundantly and irresistibly clear. Dimensions that reflect enduring Victorian character are complemented by details that illustrate the comprehensive reach of the renovation throughout the superb dual level floor-plan. A sitting room that is refined yet relaxed sets a seductive tone for downstairs spaces. A charming and practical study set up as a home office, offers a beautifully built in Tasmanian Oak desk and generous storage and flows to a living/dining domain. Natural northern light here adds a significant advantage to sublime proportions featuring heated polished concrete floors and a kitchen/ living space of contemporary excellence.
A welcoming bedroom and beautifully appointed bathroom add to the downstairs allure while upstairs the appeal ascends even further! The main bedroom's ensuite and a third bathroom which serves the third and fourth bedrooms, illustrate how stylishly and successfully this period classic has adopted a modern mode and adapted to present day demands and desires.
High ceilings, hydronic heating throughout, under tile heating in the bathrooms, a separate laundry and storage, fresh, faultless presentation and outdoor surroundings which catch the northern sun, set this home apart. Time can pass sitting on the sun-drenched decks in the well-established cottage style garden that is serviced by a sprinkler system. With off street parking, you can leave your car at home and walk to the supermarket, Charles Street Cafe precinct the city centre or the Hospital precinct is only a minute's walk away.
