11a West Tamar Road, Trevallyn TAS 7250

Featured in Home Beautiful magazine in 1955, this classic Modernist home is solid and generously proportioned while still retaining scope for someone's creative flair.

Light filled and airy it sits above the street in a sea of green surrounded by a highly productive garden of fruit trees and roses. The securely fenced rear yard features an excellent entertaining area with a barbeque while the balcony at the front looks across the river to the city and the distant hills, a grandstand seat for the city's fireworks displays. Downstairs the garage roof forms a terrace in front of the house, screened from the street by olive trees.

The three bedrooms are complemented by upstairs and downstairs bathrooms and the modern kitchen boasts granite bench tops. An open fire and heat pump in the living/dining area provide year round comfort.

Only a stone's throw from the Cataract Gorge, the house is on the city fringe making for an easy flat walk to cafes, restaurants, Launceston College and the city. In the near future the new UTAS campus will be just a quick bike along the river.

The present owners love the house and location but are reluctantly selling due to a move interstate.
