24 Cracroft Street, Franklin TAS 7113

Perched above the Huon River just south of Franklin and with expansive views both up and down the river, sits this lovely character property. The original cottage was built in the 1940's and it still retains some features such as timber floorboards, but the current owners have completely upgraded and extended the house into the wonderful home it is today.

As you enter through a very practical mudroom and past a fantastic coat and boot storage unit, you are welcomed into the large open plan dining, lounge and kitchen. This end of the house is a new addition but still blends beautifully with the old through the use of character elements such as solid timber floorboards and a pressed metal back splash.

The living area has very large double glazed windows to take in those incredible views up the river to the north. The kitchen is a great mix of modern and character, with vibrant colours and stainless steel benchtops combined with warm timber. There's a fantastic large walk in pantry at the end of the space perfect for hiding the toaster and microwave as well as storing all your other pantry staples. Off the dining area and through a large stack sliding door you reach the entertaining deck, perfect for parties with friends or a morning coffee as the sun comes up over the river.

There are 3 large bedrooms, 2 with built in robes and one with a walk in robe, a central family bathroom as well as a handy second toilet and shower in the laundry for guest to use or for cleaning up after a day outside.

The house has a new roof, new weatherboards, is fully insulated and all the windows and doors are double glazed to help reduce power bills. Heating and cooling is provided by a woodheater in the living area and fans throughout the house to move air around for year round comfort.

This house would be a country dream for most and it's only the beginning of the property. There's also a new 16mx12m colourbond shed with power and a concrete floor, it has stables and a tack room already fitted if horses are your hobby. But there's heaps of space for whatever you would like to do. There is also a bonus space under the house that the current owners use as a studio, it has lights and power, a concrete floor and double french doors to let the light in.

The land is 2.9Ha with a mix of flat to sloping pasture and trees, perfect for running most kinds of livestock and plenty of space for fruit trees and vegie beds. The far paddocks can also be accessed off Kay St. Only a 2 minute drive from Franklin where you can find a post office, cafes, a monthly market, shops and a primary school. Huonville is just 10 minutes by car and all other essential services are located here.

Possibly the only draw back with this property is the views are so good you may just spend your days sitting and taking them in and not get much else done! Life could be worse.
