A charming Federation-style house straight out of Anne of Green Gables has been listed for sale and comes fully furnished with a $950,000 to $970,000 price guide.
Located in Ulverstone, a coastal town 90 minutes from Launceston in Tasmania, the property will be sold with everything you need to move straight in, says listing agent Gareth Jubb of Wolf Property Hobart.
Minimal packing will be required for the lucky buyer as the beds, dinner table, chairs, sofas, side tables and more are included in the purchase price.
“Anything you can see but the private or personal items will be sold,” Jubb says.
“It can be basically set up like an Airbnb or a house ready to move straight in. You only really need to buy bowls, plates and cutlery and away you go.”
The property is also the perfect oasis for anyone wanting to pursue a relaxing beach-town lifestyle, he says.
“There are so many places outside or inside where you can sit down for some quiet time and actually appreciate the building,”Jubb says.
The property was originally a corner shop built in 1910 and became a residential home in the 1930s.
The four-bedroom house was recently renovated by the current vendors, who restored the home’s period features while including modern amenities.
The property is named Willow Manor after the willow tree in the front yard.
The interior of the house is breathtaking, adorned with pastel grays, blues and green, creating the ultimate cottage-style residence.
Each room has a pop of colour, whether it’s the fireplace, kitchen cabinets or skirting boards, which perfectly complements the furniture and decor.
The exterior and its surrounds are just as beautiful as the interiors. The backyard is a trove of treasures not typically found in most homes.
It has a mini orchard of pear, apple and olive trees, along with veggie and herb gardens. There is also a steam sauna and an outdoor shower.
It’s the ideal home for someone to retire in, Judd says.
“Ulverstone is quaint. It’s got really good cafes,” he says.
“There’s always people out and about getting coffees, having brunches … and some of the nicest beaches are right by your doorstep.”
The property at 2 Finch Street, Ulverstone, is open for inspection via private appointment.
