Nestled back from the main road and hidden behind beautiful established gardens. The home was originally built in 1905, is set on approximately three quarters of an acre and with the property's elevated position, it commands a fine view of the Tamar River and landscapes beyond.
Over the years this period home has been lovingly cared for, restored, and extended. The architecture boasts high ceilings, timber panelling, large timber windows and doors and traditional fire places that are the focal point in many of the rooms. All renovations have been incorporated in sympathy with the era of the home and appear seamless within the walls and roofline. Classic detail has been mixed with modern luxuries including renovated bathrooms, kitchen, formal dining and sitting areas, the polished floorboards have been maintained and brought to life. Stunning views from the house can be viewed through large picture windows and French doors. The family sized kitchen acts as the beating heart of the home with high quality appliances, gas cooktops, island bench and plenty of storage that flows through to the laundry area. The undercover verandah can be accessed by the formal dining. The sunlit front sitting room showcases a romantic bay window seat. The main bedroom is uniquely fitted with a spectacular ensuite bathroom and a walk-in robe. This property could very well be more than a two-bedroom home, with its multiple living areas, this property offers a versatile floorplan.
The cottage gardens have been thoughtfully created over the decades- they provide a magical burst of colour in spring and many established trees provide a backdrop for privacy. There are multiple outdoor entertaining areas that complement the scenery. Tucked away in the gardens are two small 'cottages' with power connected (making an ideal home office, studio, or teenagers retreat). Off street parking for several cars, a woodshed and a vintage workshop.
Lanena is a 20-minute drive from Launceston CBD and the property's location is a short drive to the township of Exeter that is well serviced with schools/day-care, IGA supermarkets, GP practice, pharmacy, butcher, and post office.
