The convict-carved bluestone steps at the front and back doors of 18 Badajos Street might have you thinking this is an immaculately renovated 19th century cottage, and indeed the house was built to strict Heritage Precinct guidelines, but in 2018, and inside it is a 21st century story.

Double glazed windows, heating and air conditioning keep the house comfortable year round, although the aircon is rarely needed.

The spacious kitchen/dining/living room belies the modest exterior dimensions. Custom-built cabinetry with a celery top pine bench top provides heaps of storage space and includes an electric cooktop and wall oven.

The bedroom boasts a wall of built-in wardrobe space and a door leads into the generously-sized bathroom, with another celery top pine bench top vanity and a walk-in shower.

Go out through the mud room, past the car port and you’ll find water tanks with over 8000 litres capacity, used to water the garden or easily switchable to provide rainwater showers in the bathroom.

But, as they say, there’s more. The 961 sqm parcel presents a stunning garden that, amazingly, is even younger than the house. Nestled at the rear of the leafy garden there’s a free-standing studio/guest room/hideaway and so many tranquil spots to enjoy a glass of wine or two.

The property is connected to all town services and is within a short stroll from some of the famous landmarks of Ross such as historical Man 'O' Ross Hotel, Ross Bridge and the collection of Georgian stone buildings along Church Street. Tourists and locals alike experience a walk along the Macquarie River or enjoy the famous Scallop Pie or Vanilla slice from the iconic bakery's in the village

Ross is a 7-minute drive north to Campbell Town, for supermarket, medical facilities, banking and school. Launceston is a leisurely 50 minute drive north and Hobart is 1hr 20 minutes to the south. The public transport services between Launceston and Hobart pass through Ross daily.

Ideal for those in search of a distinctive home or boutique accommodation investment opportunity, this captivating property extends an invitation to a secure period style modern home in the historical Midlands.
