Built in 1880 by the Galvin Family and at a time when the area was known as Galvin Town, May Villa represents a stunning example of Victorian architecture and would arguably be one of the most beautiful homes in the area. Launcestons inner south is a largely intact area of heritage homes, many of which are now also being lovingly restored as the area becomes increasingly appreciated and sought after. Despite being built very well, May Villa had lost her shine and was in need of a full renovation when the owners purchased her in 2007. They went about the mammoth task of returning this iconic home to its former glory, respecting and honouring the character and heritage, while also creating a contemporary home for modern living. Over the next ten years and with the help of local experts, family and friends, this home is now a testament to what can be accomplished with love, vision and perseverance. From the beautifully restored street frontage to the back, the owners have created a highly liveable and spacious family home, full of light, indoor-outdoor living and creative touches. Original features, including the marble and slate veranda, marble mantles, ornate cornices and ceiling roses, coloured glass and dados have been retained and restored. The 2014-15 kitchen-living and third bedroom extension adds a whole new dimension to the home, featuring a contemporary kitchen with bespoke myrtle joinery and natural floorboards, it is sun-filled but also has a wood-heater for the colder months. The kitchen-dining-living area opens up on all sides and compliments the gorgeous outdoor entertaining area enjoyed under the green canopy of the gardens established trees. Clad in sustainably sourced Macrocarpa pine, the extension is silvering over time, as there is no need to oil or paint this timber. It was designed with a local architect to sit quietly alongside the original house. Many materials from the original kitchen were recycled and incorporated into the more traditional third bedroom part of the extension. Natural Gas cooking, heating and hot water, plenty of outdoor lighting, built in indoor and outdoor speakers, NBN and a luxe ensuite bathroom off the main bedroom complete this impressive picture. Adding the finishing touch, the owners rebuilt the old stable and sheds into a fabulous self-contained studio apartment with its own open plan design complete with kitchen and spacious bathroom. This has created an excellent space for guest accommodation or a terrific home office complete with its own access off Galvin Street. Located in an incredibly convenient and enviable location, you can walk to the LGH in minutes, the Charles Street cafe strip, parks, schools and the city. May Villa is also an entrant in the 2017 Launceston City Council Heritage Awards.
