5 Macquarie Street, Evandale TAS 7212

The most coveted of all properties in the greater Launceston region are the heritage homes that speak of our rich social, cultural and agricultural histories.

5 Macquarie Street epitomises these qualities and as an intact 1890s cottage set against the village's heritage fabric, it is the rare Evandale listing that tugs on the heartstrings of all who appreciate our little slice of paradise.

Three bedrooms and an intimate and snug sitting room are housed in the street facing rooms of the cottage, all benefiting from the high Victorian era ceilings lined with Baltic Pine ceiling and floorboards and with original decorative mantels.

The rear of the property contains the contemporary inclusions of ensuite bathroom and robe facilities that connect to the principal bedroom as well as a second full bathroom which serves both guests and occupants.

The country-style kitchen connects via french doors to the courtyard garden, fishpond and sits adjacent to the second living space and formal dining room that bridges the gap between the old and new parts of this substantial home.

Walnut Cottage holds delight around each corner and in the smallest of details. The beautiful transitions from historic timber boards to hand cut slate tiles, the character street facade with its classic verandah are all juxtaposed against the contemporary integration of modern life with inclusions such as the office and laundry nooks.

Evandale is arguably Launceston's most exclusive satellite village and is only 15 minutes from the Centre of Launceston and mere minutes from Launceston Airport.

Prominent features of this property include:
- 1890s character cottage in idyllic heritage village
- original baltic pine ceilings, floorboards and decorative mantels
- ensuite and walk-in-robe principal suite
- 450m2 of low maintenance garden and historic home
