Homes of this era are rarely offered - and almost never with this level of land, position and flexibility..
Set across a substantial 1,200sqm parcel with dual street frontage, 6 York Street is a circa 1840 Georgian residence that stands among the earliest homes still held within Launceston. Defined by its symmetry, proportion and enduring construction, it carries a presence that simply cannot be replicated today.
Originally commissioned by William Parker, a superintendent carpenter in the early colonial period, the home forms part of the city's earliest fabric. Over time, it has played a broader role within Launceston's history, including periods accommodating officers of the 96th Regiment, before evolving into a long-held private residence across generations.
What sets this home apart is not just its age, but its ability to adapt. Thoughtful additions over time - including expanded living areas, kitchen and sunroom spaces - have allowed the home to evolve while maintaining its original character.
Inside, the home offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living zones, with proportions and ceiling heights that reflect a different era of building - creating spaces that feel both substantial and inherently liveable.
The landholding is a defining feature. The dual frontage opens up flexibility rarely seen, while the scale of the allotment provides space, privacy and long-term upside in a location where opportunities of this size are increasingly scarce.
For buyers seeking something with genuine history, scale and future potential, this is a compelling and increasingly rare offering.
