If you had to name a street that encapsulates all that is city living at its finest, Charles St would automatically come to mind. It’s that fine blend of easy access to a selection of the best restaurants and cafes in Launceston, the walking distance to the CBD, parks & hospital plus the urban feel of the properties that surround you. Whilst you are walking up Charles St you might not notice this beautifully appointed but unassuming 1880 cottage at first, it’s until you are shown what’s on offer that this location and home becomes something truly special.

You first have to know that nothing has come onto the market in this part of Charles Street under $450,000 in quite some time. A street usually known for grand homesteads to be able to purchase in this sought after location at this price point shows incredible value for money.

Upon entry the subtle charms and intricate detailing of a Victorian Cottage come to hand. Embossed dado, bold skirtings, Baltic hardwood flooring and timber mantles all complement the natural colour pallet throughout the home. Accommodating three good size bedrooms positioned at the front of the home it is until you reach the end of the hallway that everything comes together. Open plan and offering an abundance of natural light, the partially separate lounge room melds seamlessly with the dining, kitchen and the backyard. The kitchen is well appointed with stainless steel gas oven/stove, good size pantry, island bench top in the centre and plenty of preparation space.

With summer only just around the corner you want to be purchasing a home which utilises the great weather and brings the outside in. With the glass ceiling above the dining table and the doors opening out onto the private backyard, if you love entertaining we guarantee you will love this home. The backyard is established and will need little to no attention at all. With a few raised vegetable patches, an additional area to lay in the sun or read a book and for storage a garden shed – this backyard is rare for inner city living. With off street parking for two vehicles, you will barley need to grab the car keys when you realise how close everything is. Position, a beautiful home and a price to tempt – you will fall in love.
