Walnut Cottage is a beautifully restored piece of Evandale's history, nestled in one of Tasmania's most sought-after villages. Built in the 1890s, this cottage has undergone a thoughtful and detailed transformation, blending the character of its origins with the comfort of modern living. As you step through the Tasmanian oak French doors, the fusion of old and new becomes immediately apparent. The home has been rewired with a new switchboard, ensuring safety and functionality throughout. The kitchen, a true culinary sanctuary, is fitted with the latest appliances, complemented by timber windows that allow natural light to flood the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. For year-round comfort, Walnut Cottage offers reverse cycle air conditioning, a cozy woodfire, and electric heating in each of its three bedrooms. The modern internal walls are well insulated, keeping the home comfortable no matter the season. The master bedroom is a true retreat, complete with a spacious walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom. The home's layout offers a variety of living spaces, each one thoughtfully designed. The snug original lounge maintains its historical charm, while the larger family-style living room offers ample space for relaxation. A third breakfast area opens directly into the newly landscaped gardens, effortlessly merging indoor and outdoor living. The floors tell a story of their own-original timber flooring blends with contemporary updates, adding to the home's unique character. The ceilings, made of sought-after Baltic pine, evoke nostalgia, while the modern updates ensure comfort and style. The iconic bullnose verandah at the front of the home invites you to enjoy Evandale's rich history and village atmosphere, while contemporary window furnishings offer framed views that blend the cottage's heritage with modern sensibilities. Beyond the main structure, new outbuildings, including a garden shed and woodshed, provide both functional space and added charm. Inside, the home has been freshly painted, enhancing both its timeless appeal and curbside presence. The main bathroom has been expertly renovated, as has the brand-new kitchen island. Updated carpets and polished original timber floorboards throughout lend the perfect mix of modern convenience and period elegance. For added convenience, the spacious loft provides generous storage for all your needs, ensuring that every corner of Walnut Cottage is optimized for contemporary living. This is more than just a house; it is a harmonious blend of history and modern comfort, offering the best of both worlds in the heart of Evandale, just 15 minutes from Launceston and moments from the airport.
