14 Hillside Crescent, West Launceston TAS 7250

Prior to 1913, Australian architecture was influence by British styles until the rise of the Hollywood movies which popularised American clothes, furniture, cars and homes and in turn led to the introduction of the Californian bungalow.
14 Hillside Crescent was built around 1930, and offers features that were typical of both this style of home and era including the stucco exterior, large front porch (with the ability to be closed in), a spacious attic/rumpus underneath a sloping roof, a feature fireplace, Art Nouvea inspired stained glass and separate dining and lounge rooms.
The original owners tell stories of sleeping on the front porch, which was considered best for a healthy lifestyle during that time, and have been impressed with the stylish renovations the current owners have undertaken.
Retaining the simple floor plan which centred around the entrance hallway and leaned towards open plan living, the home now offers a modern kitchen with cedar sliding doors opening to a true entertainers backyard, two bathrooms and excellent heating.
There is all day sun in the living areas, stunning views of the city and mountains beyond, and all located literally minutes to the city centre. It's also only a short walk to two very good primary schools, and on a good bus route. The home offers off street parking for three cars, plus there is the potential to drive right up to the backyard. The current owners have also drawn plans for a semi-enclosed double garage at the front of the property.
