45 Main Road, Perth, Tas 7300

Long before the traffic rolled through town, before the cafés served morning coffee and before Perth became one of Northern Tasmania's most loved townships, this cottage was already standing.

Believed to be one of the first cottages in Perth, this is more than a home. It is a piece of local history that generations have passed by, admired and recognised. If you've spent any time in Perth, chances are you've noticed it.

Today, this residence begins a new chapter. Restored from top to bottom, the home has undergone a complete transformation. A new roof crowns the home, while fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring, new carpets and an extensive refurbishment throughout have breathed new life into every corner. Yet despite the renewal, the character and charm that have made this property so recognisable remain proudly intact.

Step through the front door and you'll quickly realise this isn't a renovation that shouts for attention. Instead, it quietly impresses. Neutral tones, clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic create a sense of calm from the moment you arrive.

The hallway guides you effortlessly through the home, where three generous bedrooms sit at the front of the residence. Each offers built in storage and a peaceful place to retreat, with natural light through each window and a skylight in the third.

Connecting the accommodation to the living spaces is a beautifully appointed bathroom, featuring a walk in shower, toilet, double vanity and crisp finishes that continue the home's fresh and timeless feel.

Then, the home opens up.

The soaring pointed ceiling of the open-plan living area create a wonderful sense of space, while sunlight dances across the freshly renovated interiors. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee, family dinner or an evening spent with friends, this is a space designed to bring people together.

The kitchen is equal parts practical and stylish, complete with sleek white cabinetry, tiled splash backs, quality appliances and ample storage. It flows seamlessly into a spacious dining zone where conversations can linger long after dinner has finished.

The living area offers a comfortable place to unwind, with soft new carpet underfoot and a brand new reverse-cycle air conditioner ensuring comfort through every Tasmanian season.

Adding to the practicality of the home, a cleverly concealed European laundry is tucked away within the hallway. Complete with a sink, space for both a washing machine and dryer, plus additional storage, it keeps everyday essentials neatly out of sight.

Now outside. A paved entertaining area extends from the living space, ready for summer barbecues, evenings around a firepit or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of your surroundings. The flat, fully fenced allotment provides room for children, pets and gardens to flourish, while off street parking accommodates multiple vehicles with ease.

Surrounded by newly established garden beds and complemented by a practical garden shed, the outdoor spaces offer the perfect foundation to create something truly your own.

And then there's the location. Just a short stroll down Perth's historic main street, you can leave the car at home and enjoy everything this charming township has to offer. Grab a coffee from a local café, pick up the essentials from the IGA, drop the kids off at the local primary school, wander along the South Esk River or simply soak in the character of a calming town. Only 20 minutes from Launceston, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that has witnessed nearly a century and a half of history, yet feels entirely brand new.

Some houses are built. Some homes are restored. Very few become part of a town's story. This is one of them.
