20 Veulalee Avenue

A Home That Just Feels Right!

Description

Homes impress you for all types of reasons, but there are the homes that offer something a little harder to define. A feeling. At 20 Veulalee Avenue, you feel it almost immediately. Perhaps it is the elevated position on the high side of the street, the outlook from the front patio, or the sense of privacy created by established gardens. Perhaps it is stepping inside and finding the warmth of Tasmanian Oak floorboards underfoot, the character of the original fireplace mantel and rooms that seem to catch the sunlight at just the right time of day. Whatever it is, this is a home that feels elegant, loved and remarkably easy to settle into. Inside, the years have been kind to the home. Thoughtful updates have been made without taking away the character that makes it special, with fresh paint and recent carpeting adding another layer of comfort. The living room is generous and wonderfully light, with a Saxon wood heater ready for cold Tasmanian evenings. From here, life naturally moves through to the dining area and kitchen, where reverse-cycle heating and cooling keeps the heart of the home comfortable throughout the seasons. The kitchen itself is bright, open and refreshingly connected to what lies beyond the windows. Custom made cabinetry provides plenty of practicality, while the cooking spaces within the home are positioned to look directly across the garden. Open the door and the indoors give way to a covered entertaining area. It is easy to imagine the rhythm of life here. Breakfast inside with the morning light coming through. Doors open wide on a warm afternoon. Hosting friendly gatherings outside, while children or pets disappear into the backyard. Picking lemons from the prolific tree, apples from the established garden, or maybe small heirloom apples from the espaliered tree just outside the kitchen. There is room here for life to unfold. Three bedrooms are generous in their proportions and natural light, while a fourth room refuses to be defined by just one purpose. It could be another bedroom, a quiet home office, a sunroom, a playroom, a second living space, somewhere to paint, write, read or simply retreat. It is the sort of room that can change with whoever calls the property home. The bathroom provides a bath, shower and spacious vanity, with the convenience of a separate toilet. A separate laundry with excellent storage and an additional externally accessed toilet add to the convenience. And then there is the garden. Private, sunny and fully fenced, it feels less like a backyard and more like an extension of the home itself. Established trees and shrubs frame a large stretch of lawn, while the paved entertaining area provides a sheltered place to socialise with family and friends. There is room to garden, room for pets, room for children and importantly, room to grow. A 4m x 4m Colorbond shed with concrete flooring sits neatly within the grounds, while a single garage, additional off-street parking and a grid-connected Growatt solar system complete the practical features of the property. For all the sense of retreat, life beyond the garden gate is remarkably close. Launceston's CBD is five minutes away, while Trevallyn's shops and café, primary school, tennis courts and oval are all within easy reach. Trevallyn Dam, Cataract Gorge Reserve and the area's walking trails provide another reminder of why this pocket of Launceston is so tightly held. Perhaps the best way to describe 20 Veulalee Avenue? More than a collection of bedrooms, living spaces and gardens; it is a home in which to savour morning coffee on the patio. A wood fire on a winter evening. Open doors capturing warm garden breezes in summer. Apples outside the kitchen window. Space to entertain, space to retreat and space for life to change over the years. A home that has already been deeply enjoyed and is ready for its next chapter.
