3/12 Granville Street, West Launceston TAS 7250

Beautifully reflective of its era, built in the mid 1920's by returned soldier and his wife, Seymour and Lucy Holbrook, this elevated, evocative residence has remarkably remained in the same family ownership ever since.
A spectacular site offering magnificent return verandah views looking due east across Launceston, the Tamar River/Kanamaluka and beyond to the Arthur and Barrow ranges creates an unforgettable context for a home featuring romantic spaces that make their readiness for renovation clear.
High ceilings, period proportions and classic details including bay windows and solid timber doors and floors add to the character of a floor-plan currently configured to provide three double bedrooms, a light-filled living room, a separate dining room with its own verandah retreat, a basic kitchen and a bathroom that retains its claw-foot bath.
Below, extensive basement storage and a potting shed complete today's dimensions, surrounded by a wonderful large allotment with a quiet aspect, secluded access from Granville Street's non-thoroughfare slipway and additional entry from Neika Avenue.
Compromised by the effect of nearby blasting for road construction in the past, this charming property's potential for rescue and revival is irresistible. Development possibilities may also be pursued, STCA. The block that's conveniently close to Launceston's CBD and the Cataract Gorge lies in scenic, low density surroundings where pademelons roam and kookaburras sing ensuring success whichever path forward is selected.
Launceston is the state's oldest town and a gateway to northern Tasmania's rich range of attractions including the Tamar Valley wine region, Cradle Mountain in Lake St Clair National Park and so many more!
