87 Balfour Street, Launceston TAS 7250

According to records, this Victorian era cottage was built 'circa' 1880 and is a beautiful example of period architecture embraced by a captivating cottage garden. This remarkable property really is a true gem right in the heart of Launceston.

Having changed hands only a small number of times since being constructed more than 140 years ago, this quaint home benefits from period architectural distinctions, 2 generous bedrooms, a formal dining/sitting room and front lounge room with stairs up to an attic sitting room, office or small 3rd bedroom with dormer windows. The cosy eat-in kitchen at the rear benefits from underfloor heating of the slate and captivating garden views, whilst the separate toilet hosts an original jail cell door, adding to the character and history that is a highlight of 87 Balfour St.

Additional features of this stunning property include ornate fireplaces, leadlight windows, Tas oak floorboards and accents and a combustion stove. Every part of the compact 389m2 block is used to full advantage from the delightful front garden, to the cobbled rear courtyard with espaliered fruit trees, potting area and garden shed, creating a magical oasis. Parking is provided with a single carport and street parking permits are available through the council.

Perfectly located in the centre of Launceston yet not on a main road, surrounded by attractive heritage homes and within walking distance to the buzz of inner city living, this highly desirable and seldom found piece of local history must be inspected to be fully appreciated.
