Steeped in history and set within one of Australia's most English towns, "Oakleigh" stands as a character filled treasure dating back to 1860. Its timeless weatherboard façade hints at the warmth and personality found within - a home that has kept its soul while welcoming the comforts of modern living.
Inside, the classic features immediately make themselves known: high ceilings, generous room proportions, beautiful period lighting, original fireplaces and original hardwood floorboards that have carried more than a century of stories. There's an undeniable sense of potential here, the kind that invites you to add your chapter to its long standing tale.
The country kitchen is the heart of the home, overlooking the yard and pairing its historic charm with thoughtful upgrades. A new high end Italian oven sits alongside the stove, rangehood and dishwasher, creating a beautifully functional space to cook and gather. This area flows into the dining area, where an original kitchen fireplace, complete with handmade bricks - can be uncapped and enjoyed once again, adding another layer of warmth to family meals.
The living room offers space to unwind, maintaining its character detail while being comfortably heated by an open fireplace and a new Daikin reverse cycle system. Three generously sized bedrooms continue the theme of original charm, each offering the proportions and features you'd expect of a home from this era.
A combined bathroom and laundry provides practicality without compromising style, fitted with a separate shower, single vanity, toilet and a classic claw foot bath. There's ample space for your washer and dryer, leaving the room feeling open and usable.
Outdoors, the appeal continues. The fully fenced, fully landscaped yard is flat, vibrant and in full bloom this time of year. It easily caters to vehicles of all kinds, offering a single garage/workshop, a double carport and extra space for more parking. The original ceramic septic pots tucked into the garden add a quirky touch, perfect as a future fish pond or garden feature.
Westbury itself is a community in every sense of the word, home to beloved local spots like Lucy Boots, Western Tiers Distillery, the IGA and regular country markets. From here, you're central to all corners of Tasmania. Close to recreation grounds, national parks and neighbouring towns such as Deloraine and Launceston.
"Oakleigh" is a home with history, heart and genuine opportunity. Ready to welcome its next custodian.
