In the heart of Launceston, Glenfruin is an iconic 1880s Italianate style residence that combines the elegance of the original building with the demands of contemporary living, discreetly positioned beyond a 4m wall.

Built on 1,482 sqm and set over three levels, the home’s generously proportioned living and dining rooms capture northerly views across the city and Tamar River.

The deep north-facing balcony offers both superb views and privacy and is the perfect place for a casual dinner, cocktails or a quiet spot to read.

Wonderfully restored by architect David Denman of David Denman & Associates, the heritage-listed home features original details such as Tasmanian Oak floorboards, crystal chandeliers and pressed metal ceilings blend harmoniously with floor to ceiling double glazed doors that open to a private rear courtyard.

The residence accommodates four queen-sized bedrooms, privately located across the three levels.

The spacious master suite features a king-sized bedroom, dressing room and full ensuite bathroom.

A floating timber staircase leads to the upper level with two bedrooms, ensuite bathroom, office and large additional storage areas.

The lower lever comprises a guest bathroom and ensuite, billiard/games room, cellar and storage.

French doors lead out to the lower balcony and terraced gardens.

Outside, the terraced garden is distinctly low maintenance with original balustrading.

An additional paved courtyard offers total privacy and the opportunity to entertain in style.

A bespoke gourmet kitchen boasts a red marble bench, mirrored splashbacks, teppanyaki hotplate, and walk-in pantry. 

Additionally, this luxurious property includes a double carport, marble bathrooms and powder room, electric gates and a separately titled contemporary workshop and sporting equipment storage.

There is also parking for up to six extra cars.
