I've found that you can actually Google this property and immerse yourself in the historical background of Evandale and the early settlement of Tasmania. Built in 1835 and originally put to service as the Police Office and later, the official residence of the Assistant Police Magistrate, this beautifully situated home is now for sale and ready for its next stage of life. With symmetrical layout and façade, centrally located front door leading into a long hallway, a hipped roof of corrugated iron and front veranda supported on wooden columns decorated with iron lace in the classical Victorian manner. Featuring a large block of 1,145m2 approx. and filled with gravelled pathways, cottage style gardens, meandering secret walkways, nooks and hidden botanical gems throughout. Perhaps even re-establish some additional historic breeds of plant and create a true early settlement feel. This lovely 187m2 home with its ornate decorative carved fire surrounds, characteristic high ceilings, secret attic rooms and comforting color scheme will tug at your heartstrings. In the main bathroom, pressed decorative tin surrounds the claw-foot bath and the vanity is set into a natural timber wash-stand complementing the other period era furnishings in the home. The dining features a stunning magenta wall encasing the original fireplace, which now houses a cast-iron wood heater. The cosy lounge with its decorative timber mantle framing a wood heater leads into a separate sitting room and bedroom. The bright and sunny cottage style kitchen with tiled floor and French doors leading into the garden has been designed so that your family can have all their modern comforts while enjoying the aesthetic appeal of a unique property with true Tasmanian heritage. Original cedar doors, architraves and skirting's are delightful visual treats which highlight the many other character elements of the home. The current owner has furnished the home with beautiful antique pieces, bringing history to life, however, you may wish to juxtapose heritage and the contemporary and make this a real visual standout.
