IF this home could talk it could tell some interesting tales of some very notable names in Tasmania and Launceston’s history.

Beringa was designed by Alfred Harold Masters – the architect responsible for many notable buildings in Launceston, including The Examiner building in Paterson Street, Launceston – for Gordon Willis Fysh.

Mr Fysh was the son of Sir Phillip Oakley, a two-time premier of Tasmania. 

It was then owned by Sir Gordon Rolph who coincidentally managed The Examiner with his father, circa 1920.

The home was built in 1924 and retains all the heritage characteristics of the era which have only been enhanced by the current owner’s flair for quality and eye for detail.

Private and quiet, the home is back from the road on 2466 square metres and is walking distance to all the amenities of Newstead.

Entry to the home is formal ending in a large reception room where a French Cheminees Philippe fireplace sits front and centre.

This reception area is the heart of the home and offers access to several living spaces including a large living area, formal dining room and hallway that leads to the master bedroom and staircase up to the remaining bedrooms.

Off the living area a large, modern kitchen incorporates quality Miele, stainless steel appliances, state-ofthe-art storage options and Caesarstone benchtops.

An artist, the current owner has included flashes of bold colour in the kitchen that not only enhance the modern style but add warmth and vibrancy to the room.

The kitchen adjoins the dining room with access to a large courtyard for summer entertaining.

Off the dining area is a dedicated library that flows through to a sunroom.

All four of these rooms opening out to the courtyard or garden and allow flexible, separate and connected living depending on your needs.

Completing downstairs is a powder room, large combination laundry and butler’s pantry with plenty of storage and even a drying rack warmed by the fireplace behind but most importantly the glorious master bedroom.

Located at the front of the home the master is luxurious in size with enough room for a two seater couch in your own, sunny bay window.

It offers his and hers walk-in wardrobes, her side incorporating a dressing area and enough hanging space, drawers and shelves to keep any fashionista happy.

The en suite has been completed with quality fixtures including Victoria and Albert freestanding bath, dual vanities, large shower, imported tapware, and under floor heating.

Upstairs are the remaining three bedrooms, all large with built-in storage and another luxurious bathroom offering more flexibility if need be.
