Our city home is a stylish 1940's stand alone house, with its own garden, just on the edge of Launceston city, and in walking distance to the centre of town. wide views over the city. The house retains much of its original charm with wood featured. A park across the road.
Great place to unwind or to use as a touring base.
The house has bedrooms upstairs, but some might like the large guest room on the ground floor. Pleasant sitting and dining areas. Fully set up kitchen with electric appliances. Two bathrooms. Sun room. Outside to the front is a small garden with Australian native plants and to the rear is a paved back to relax in.
Launceston offers all that a modern, small city of 80,000/90000 people provides. Excellent wining and dining, cafes for casual coffees or snacks, good shopping, and just a short distance away are fabulous vineyards with their great wine, including Velo, Clover Hill, Nineth Island, Pipers River and so many more. Great food at some of them too!
Launceston offers excellent old architecture in its old commercial and residential buildings.
Around town, try Stillwater for a posh meal, the historic Rosevears pub for a meal with views, Gravelly Beach or Beauty Point for fish & chips. Go up to Grindelwald for a fine meal or a lunch snack. Dynasty just below our house for Chinese. The Pizza Pub for an informal meal. Cuccina Café is just down the road for breakfast or a coffee.
