Iconic Cataract Gorge with its cliffside walks and waterways is not far away and the CBD is 5 minutes by car or a 20 minute walk.

The land is gently sloping, with stone steps leading to a lovely cottage garden with a huge old peppercorn tree. There is an equally old mulberry tree and lemon, walnut, apple and quince trees all bearing seasonal fruit. There is a large deck for outside entertaining or just to relax and enjoy the birds and garden.

The house is full of natural light. It is enriched with character features of a bygone era: high ceilings, polished wooden floor boards, stained glass windows, picture rails, chandeliers, five fireplaces including a marble fireplace in the main living room. A claw-foot bath sits in the spacious main bathroom upstairs and a stunning old wooden stair case connects the top and bottom floors.

The first floor comprises an open plan living, formal dining and kitchen area with views out to the garden. Two rooms at the front of the house, with views to to the river, could be used as bedrooms or living rooms. There is an additional attic room.
On the ground floor there are two other river-facing rooms (your choice: bedroom, living room or study area). This separate area could easily make a perfect Airbnb.

It just may be that the wide-ranging uninterrupted view from the top balcony is one of the most splendid in Launceston and certainly one of the home's main assets. One can sit on the balcony with a cup of tea in the morning and watch the ever changing vista of the river go by. In the morning rowers and fishing boats set out and at night Peppers Silo Hotel and the city lights sparkle. The best showing in town of the New Year's Eve and MoFo fireworks are to be had from the balcony.

Where else in the world can you find a central city home with all this?
