Live, work and play in this stylish Tassie property
The master bedroom suite in this monochromatic home is a showstopper
2 min
There’s nothing standard about this gracious property in Tasmania’s East Launceston that has just hit the market. From the staggered steps leading past an outdoor spa to the front door to the stylish, light-filled interiors and grand master bedroom suite, everything about this three-bedroom home at 48 Mary Street East Launceston has been considered.
Last sold in 2017 for $615,000, it is now on the market for more than twice that price, a reflection of soaring property values across Tasmania. While this property sits well above the Launceston median house price of $770,000, it offers considerable lifestyle benefits, including multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces, two bathrooms and parking for five cars set across 1096sqm.
Designed with a yin-yang floorplan, the two living areas either side of the reception foyer face onto the front veranda. The well-appointed Shaker-style kitchen is finished in black and white – the predominant colour scheme for the house – and leads directly onto the dining area, which is positioned below three raked skylight windows. An additional door to the kitchen leads onto a leafy deck at the rear, providing easy access to a separate laundry and home office.
Perhaps the real showstopper for this property, however, is the master bedroom suite, which includes a spacious ensuite with double shower and vanities off the bedroom. This then leads onto a large, well-lit dressing room, with purpose-built storage for shoes and clothing and glass fronted cabinetry.
The second bedroom overlooking the rear courtyard and deck also includes a dressing room, while bedroom three has a walk-in robe. These additional bedrooms are serviced by a stylish family bathroom complete with freestanding bath as well as double shower and vanities.

< 1 minGAC Australia has confirmed the AION UT, an all-electric compact hatchback, as the fourth model to join its local range, with the vehicle set to go on sale mid-year.
The AION UT will be the second fully electric model released in Australia under GAC’s AION sub-brand, following the launch of the AION V medium SUV.
The company says the new hatch has been developed specifically with urban driving in mind, combining compact exterior dimensions with competitive interior space.
Designed at GAC’s Milan Design Centre, the AION UT features a fastback silhouette, two-tone floating roof and pixel-style lighting elements intended to give the car a distinctive, tech-forward appearance.
GAC also points to what it describes as the world’s first “eyebrow-style” headlamp design as a visual signature for the model.
Despite its compact positioning, the AION UT rides on a 2,750mm wheelbase, which GAC says allows for interior space that rivals larger vehicles in the same segment.
Full technical specifications, equipment levels and pricing for the Australian market have not yet been announced.
The confirmation of the AION UT comes as competition in Australia’s electric vehicle market continues to intensify, particularly at the more affordable end of the spectrum.
While early EV adoption was dominated by premium models and SUVs, manufacturers are increasingly turning their attention to smaller, city-oriented cars aimed at price-conscious buyers and urban commuters.
GAC entered the Australian market late last year with a mix of petrol, plug-in hybrid and electric models, including the AION V, M8 PHEV and EMZOOM.
The company has indicated it plans to introduce more than 10 models locally over the next five years as part of its long-term Australian strategy.
