For those seeking an inner city residence at the vibrant end of Charles Street, this enchanting cottage will make many buyers smile. Launceston locals and tennis fans will delight in knowing the former owners as the family of the founders of the Alexander Patent Racquet Company, who lived in the home for over 50 years.
Recently refreshed throughout and beautifully presented, there is a traditional layout with two double bedrooms at the front of the home with a central hallway leading to the lounge room with stunning timber floors and french doors to outside. The master bedroom is upstairs and offers a sitting area, good storage and views to both the east and west.
The home has been decorated with a stylist’s touch and will accommodate many styles of furniture. Retaining the original timber floors, the centrally located lounge is a stunning room and also features a brick fireplace and built in storage. The well appointed kitchen is bright and sunny, and offers plenty of cupboard space and a breakfast bar.
The brand new, contemporary bathroom offers a second toilet and a freestanding bath. There is a separate laundry that accounts for the practicalities and opens onto the deck.
Resting on a smaller parcel of land, there is a single garage with internal access and a large deck at the rear to capture the afternoon sun. There is a small paved area, a raised herb garden and even some cellar space underneath. It is the ideal inner city home, whether as a residence or an investment it offers both excellent growth and rental prospects. It is only a short walk to everything….the city centre, hospitals, cafes…you can even see across to the Gorge.
