2 Seabrooks Road, Franklin TAS 7113

After many years of love, this home is now nearly ready for its new owners to move in. Meticulously constructed whilst staying in the super quaint studio accommodation nearby, this never lived in home is a country escape sitting on just over 4 acres (1.699ha) of mostly undulating grass with a beautiful corner of native forest and ferns. Located up high in the hills of Franklin, the air is fresh and pure up here.

A white gravel driveway welcomes you onto the property which winds its way along an avenue of newly planted Chanticleer Ornamental Pear trees that will one day be a spectacle of colour with the changing seasons. A double carport provides excellent covered access straight into the home where the polished Tassie Oak floors instantly make an impression as you walk into the open plan living with large windows framing the vista and flooding the space with natural light.

Everything here is of high quality from the Bosch and Smeg appliances to the joinery. Clad with 'Celery Top', the exterior provides a wonderful natural lodge-like look without the worry of ongoing maintenance. Contrasting this, inside is bright and airy with newly laid plush carpet and clean lines. The floor, walls and ceiling are all well insulated. A wood fire will provide both warmth and atmosphere, whilst the reverse cycle air-conditioner will keep the home comfortable all year round.

Consisting of 4 bedrooms and 2 living areas, there is plenty of space for the family to spread out. Both of the bathrooms have clawfoot baths and one comes with a gorgeous leadlight window. Large doors open out from the open plan living, dining and kitchen to an elevated timber decking, ideal for entertaining friends and family on a nice day. Facing North East, this home benefits from all day winter sun as well as excellent wind protection from the south west.

The kitchen is a little lux with a brand new large Smeg gas cooker and wall oven, a new Bosch dishwasher and walk-in pantry. Outside, an expansive Merbau deck is waiting for you to entertain friends and family on quiet summer evenings. In addition to this fantastic deck, the outdoor kitchen consisting of an amazing stone fireplace, pizza oven, and barbeque will have you cooking up a storm. A quaint, natural timber 'summer cottage' with deck sits nearby for extra shelter. The gorgeous stone fireplace also comes with a set of extra fire bricks ready should you want to use it as a pottery kiln. A purpose built raised veggie garden nearby is good to go for your home-grown produce and a potting shed and wood store provides practical extra shelter.

There are swings for the kids and down by the forest under the big old willow tree, there is a seriously gorgeous cubby house affectionately known as 'Willow Cottage'. With so much space on offer, kids and pets will have plenty of room to run around and explore.

The delightful studio accommodation is well kitted out for visiting friends or family, maybe a teenagers retreat or a little airBnB. This cosy, bright, space is freshly painted with high ceilings and lots of windows filling the rooms with natural light. The fully functioning kitchen has everything your guests need to cook up a storm, and feel right at home. There is space for a small dining table, and a lounge room with wood fire to crackle away in the cooler months. The bedroom has space for queen sized bed with options for bunks, and also features a walk-through-robe. The bathroom, laundry and ample storage complete the studio. At the front of the studio, a merbau deck looks out to the mountain vistas beyond; the ideal spot for your morning latte and listening to the stillness of the surrounding countryside.

This wonderful home and studio presents an outstanding opportunity for buyers. Final works are required to get the home finished for the Certificate of Occupancy and Completion. Please contact us for further information or to arrange a private viewing for yourself.
