A triple brick structure upon bluestone foundations, 'Werona' is a magnificent Edwardian estate set looking over the Tamar River. This striking home is perfect for family life with a large kitchen - complete with two pantries, formal and informal lounges, formal dining, and billiards room. Currently configured with six bedrooms (all with ensuite bathrooms), there is space for everyone.
Inside, there are stunning period features at every turn. Carved Blackwood archways and mantles, original lead light windows and ornate fireplaces, plus more. Outside, the established gardens are filled with flowers and fruit tress including quinces, pears, apples, and plums, just to name a few.
Currently used as a private family residence, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Launceston history. This striking home was completed in 1908 for the Stanwix family, reconstructed as a Bed and Breakfast in 1994, and was recognised nationally as a winner of the 'Period Home Renovator' award in 1998.
An Indigenous word meaning quiet place, 'Werona' lives up to its name and feels like a private retreat, whilst being in the heart of the city. Within walking distance to Launceston CBD and the LGH, Trevallyn shopping and café precinct and close to private and public schools, the location is exceptional.
