Originally built for Launceston's 39th Mayor, this incredibly private and stately 5 bedroom home has recently undergone an extensive and considered renovation that has transformed the property into a sophisticated and elegant home.
Your introduction to the home is one of privacy and seclusion and you start to get a sense of the understated grandeur and history surrounding you.
Set on 2383 m2, the residence offers the trademarks you would expect of a home of it's era, including intricate mantles and fire places, 11 foot ceilings and detailed ceiling roses. The deep wrap around verandah is simply stunning and sits in dappled sunlight and luscious greenery thanks to an incredible white magnolia tree and a stunning oak tree.
The calming long wide entry hallway with detailed fretwork arch provides an easy flow to the home. Original floorboards throughout most of the home have been meticulously restored and a beautiful new curated colour palette has been finished to perfection.
The generous master bedroom with a beautiful bay window has an air of refinement and simple elegance and the connected room provides options for a private sitting room, office or nursery. Original French doors open to the leafy verandah from several rooms, creating an enchanting atmosphere.
Two fully renovated, family-sized bathrooms-complete with luxurious underfloor heating-provide both comfort and style.
An impressive living room, of grand proportions, evokes a sense of relaxed sophistication and would be an absolute pleasure to entertain friends and family in after a dinner party in the formal dining room next door.
The showstopper family kitchen is one of a kind with soaring raked ceilings and skylights. Offering an abundance of space, sun and light, the kitchen features brand new cabinetry and premium appliances including an impressive integrated double door french style refrigerator.
A large sunny and private courtyard flows from the kitchen and is the perfect location for relaxing or famly BBQ's.
The rear gardens include a flat grassed area and select vantage points offer stunning views of Launceston's CBD.
The home is equipped with a new ducted heating and cooling system with additional heat pumps if required.
Located just 5 minutes from Launceston's CBD, "Tara" is rich in character, charm, and thoughtful design. This remarkable home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, impeccably updated for contemporary living.
