4 Galvin Street, South Launceston TAS 7249

Sharing a boundary with East Launceston and St Andrews Gardens park, less than a 750m walk to the Launceston General Hospital, this newly renovated historic cottage sits at the last and highest point on a quiet no-through street.

Possessing all the unique qualities of a well maintained character dwelling in Launceston but with the contemporary comforts of a brand new, never before used, kitchen and bathroom, this property is perfect for the professional or small family. Further sensitive alterations have been undertaken with the installation of new windows, sourced from 1870s Launceston homes, to bring even greater light into the intimate dining area as well as extending the kitchen to include a walk-in pantry.

With custom curtains and drapes, brand-new luxury light fittings and revitalised window and door hardware, the three bedrooms are all generous in size, bathed in light and look out in each direction to established gardens or the picturesque front porch. The two Westerly bedrooms and entrance hall each feature unique pressed-tin ceilings complemented by pendant lighting and architectural details.

The new bathroom with a fully tiled walk-in shower, brand new fixtures and fittings also has provision for a washing machine upstairs or alternatively there is a second full sized laundry room beneath the principal level of the home.

The rear of the property showcases a sun-bathed private deck that faces North and opens to the garden and the views. There is dedicated space for dining or lounging and all nestled amongst the established trees which wrap the house and give it a private retreat like quality.

The generous site with mature gardens has has further opportunity to personalise and with ample storage under the house there is potential for a workshop space.
