Last Listing description (July 2026)

Built in 1912, number 2 Lakin Street stands as one of West Ulverstone's original homesteads, rich in character and local significance. Long held by William Purton, the property forms part of a meaningful local story, with land once gifted to establish what is now the Eliza Purton Aged Care Home, named in honour of his mother 'Eliza'.

Once hidden behind a wall of mature trees, this stately residence has re-emerged and now proudly presents itself to the street, offering a rare opportunity to secure a true piece of West Ulverstone history.

Lovingly held by its current owner for the past 25 years, the home has been thoughtfully renovated and updated over time, with great care taken to preserve its original charm while enhancing comfort and functionality. These owners have enjoyed the friendly quiet neighbourhood where people know each other's names but go about their business respectfully.

Inside, the home showcases the timeless elegance of its era. A wide central hallway welcomes you in, creating an immediate sense of space and grandeur, enhanced by an ornate plaster archway, polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards, high ceilings, and detailed skirting boards. Original doors, door handles and other federation features remain, preserving the craftsmanship and charm of a bygone time.

The layout offers three generous bedrooms along with the spacious loungeroom and formal dining room which are positioned on the northern side of the home, bathed in natural light throughout the day. This area is light bright and lovely and the perfect spot for future gatherings.

The large dine-in kitchen retains its original pantry, original fireplace and surround providing area to prepare meals for your family, and it truly is the heart of the home. There are two good sized bathrooms, the main featuring a deep bath, vanity, and toilet. A small office nook off the front verandah adds flexibility-ideal for those working from home or meeting clients without compromising privacy.

Comfort is well catered for with a Eureka wood heater and reverse cycle air conditioning, blending modern convenience with classic character.

Recent upgrades including new carpet in the three bedrooms and the lounge/dinning area, extensive interior and exterior painting, sheer curtains, a new verandah roof, and updated decking boards. While beautifully refreshed, there remains further scope for those looking to add value and make the home their own.

Set on a generous 1,214m block, the property is complemented by a large wraparound verandah-perfect for enjoying the space, entertaining, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. The mature gardens will give the new owners many hours of enjoyment as they make the house their home.

There are 2 parking spaces on the property providing off street parking.
