10-16 Corin Street, West Launceston, Tas 7250

Some homes offer character.

Others offer history.

Then there are homes that become part of a city's story.

Tucked away amongst the treetops of West Launceston, this remarkable residence is one of the original Duck Reach Cottages-a home of extraordinary historical significance that offers a lifestyle as unique as its story.

Built in the late 1890s to accommodate workers associated with Australia's first publicly owned hydro-electric power scheme at Duck Reach, and designed by renowned architect Charles St John David, this beautiful Late Victorian residence has stood proudly for more than 125 years. Today, it presents an incredibly rare opportunity to become the next custodian of a genuine piece of Launceston's history.

Constructed from striking bluestone and traditional brickwork, the home showcases the craftsmanship and enduring quality of a bygone era. Inside, beautiful period features blend with warm, inviting living spaces, while outside, established native gardens and a thriving vegetable patch create a peaceful sanctuary.

One of the home's most captivating features is the balcony flowing from the kitchen, where uninterrupted views stretch across the historic Duck Reach Power Station, the South Esk River and surrounding bushland. The ever-present sound of rushing water below creates a sense of tranquillity that makes it hard to believe you're only minutes from Launceston's CBD, Cataract Gorge and some of the city's most loved walking trails.

Adding to its rarity, the property is offered across two titles, providing flexibility and long-term potential, while a private driveway leading directly to the home offers a level of convenience seldom found in heritage properties.

Properties of this significance are tightly held and rarely offered to the market.

This is more than a home.

It is an opportunity to own one of Launceston's most treasured residences and become part of a story that has shaped the city for generations.
