Built for the Birchall family in the 1930s, the home was designed by launceston's eminent art-deco architect, Colin Philip. Subsequently lived in by Dr Ida Birchall MBE, Tasmania's highly respected first female obstetrician/gynaecologist who created the wonderful walled garden.
This home has been in the current owners' hands since 1988. It now offers the new custodians, and the potential third owners, an unmissable opportunity.
