75-77 Elphin Road, Newstead TAS 7250

Perfectly situated on the corner of Elphin Road and Cypress Street is this beautiful piece of Launceston's history. Named “Warrawee” which means “resting place” this property would be the perfect place to call home. Circa 1920, at nearly 100 years young, this beautifully maintained home provides an aura of yesteryear and an opportunity for someone to own a piece of historical architecture that only comes along once in a lifetime. Approx. 40 squares and comprising 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this really is the ultimate family home with more than enough space for everyone. The sumptuous master bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows along one wall and polished floorboards includes a walk-in robe as well as an enormous ensuite with double vanity, sunken bathtub and luxurious walk-in shower. Polished boards continue down the oversized hallway and lead to the other 4 bedrooms which are all good in size and have so many original features of their own. On the other side of the home, you will find a large formal lounge with bay windows and woodheater plus the expansive open-plan kitchen/ dining / living area with adjacent sunroom that would make the perfect reading nook! Considered the hub of the home, this area is quite special with the kitchen's curved benchtop and uniquely curved leadlight windows. Unique character features such as these stunning windows as well as intricate ceiling cornices, dazzling chandelier fixtures, multiple fireplaces and so many other details are prevalent throughout and show how immaculately the originality of this home has been maintained. However, this home also has a contemporary feel as it has been tastefully updated to provide all the modern conveniences one would need such as ducted heating to keep the entirety of the home toasty warm all winter long. Outside, the exterior of the property and grounds are nearly as impressive as the inside! Kept secluded and private with its surrounding stone wall and electric gate, the property sits on approx. 1762m2 of immaculately landscaped gardens and provides plenty of alcoves in which to relax outdoors including an undercover spa. Additionally, there is a double garage with storage above, single carport and plenty of off-street parking here. It's all in the details with this spectacular piece of history and one thing is for certain - with a home as special as this one, it needs to be seen for all of its beauty to truly be appreciated!
