The owner of this property once said, "You don't just purchase bricks and mortar, you purchase a responsibility" and he has certainly taken his responsibility for this beautiful heritage property seriously.
Built in 1847, the award winning restoration of this iconic Launceston building is a credit to the owner who has paid homage to the era as well as respect to the former custodians, sisters Jane and Elizabeth Ashcroft who set up the property as a home for Launceston nurses in 1903.
As you walk through this heritage property you notice an array of beautiful timber's throughout courtesy of J&T Gunn from when Ashcroft housed the Tasmanian Timber Association for nearly 50 years.
On the top level, you have one large residential home consisting of three spacious bedrooms, main with a walk in robe and an ensuite.
A formal dining room, lounge area, a full quality kitchen and of course access to the gorgeous balcony over looking Launceston, the river and Cataract Gorge.
The second level comprises of three separate apartments, all which has been a lucrative and successful short term accommodation business.
The bottom level is very flexible in use. It is currently being used as a two bedroom apartment as well as commercial offices with facilities provided.
The property has a carpark that offers 26 car spaces that are currently all rented and offers an invaluable piece of land for further development (stca). The property is divided into two titles, offering the purchaser an opportunity to own the entire premises but under two different ownerships.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity not to be missed.
