Villa Gwen: Character Home Moments From the City

Summary:
This beautiful heritage property has been lovingly restored and brought well into the 21st century. Nothing has been spared in either the renovation or the furnishing of this property.

The seamless indoor and outdoor living makes the most of the beautiful backyard which is spoilt by established trees providing beautiful shade in the summer.

The home is located less than 5 minutes from Launceston city and is a flat walk to both town and the beautiful heritage forest only moments away.

The Space:
The home is designed to be expansive, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a formal lounge room and a large kitchen / dining area. The master bedroom has an ensuite, but no door. The second bedroom is opposite the formal lounge and is just a few steps down the hall from the bathroom.

You will love the stunning floorboards, the high ceilings, cosy lounge room and the large doors out to the back deck. It truly is the most beautiful spot to enjoy your stay in Launceston.

Guest Access:
You will have access to the whole home via a lockbox.
