3042 Huon Highway, Franklin TAS 7113

Located in a practical position between the quaint riverside village of Franklin and the main hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville, this home also has the benefit of being on the TassieLink bus route through to Hobart. This is country living with all the benefits of practical living. The original 1963 cottage was tastefully renovated in recent years and yet maintains plenty of period charm. The kitchen and bathroom are near new, LED lighting replaces the old lights and a 5.1kW solar system all but removes your power bills!

Two bedrooms and a central bathroom, are in the main home, and another bedroom with another bathroom are located in the Granny Flat out the back. Self-contained, including space for a kitchenette, this is ideal for the single parent in the family or a teenager's haven. Alternatively, it can provide a bit of extra income as visitor accommodation.

As soon as you enter the home, you know the owner takes care of his property. The kitchen makes clever use of the space and is fitted with a gas cook-top, a dishwasher and a convection microwave oven is included. The kitchen is open plan with the dining table where you get a glimpse of the Huon River. This flows through around to the lounge where there is a slow-combustion wood fire, creating lovely warmth in the cooler months and a great atmosphere. Otherwise a reverse cycle air-conditioner will keep you comfortable all year round, backed up with panel heaters in the bedrooms and bathroom.

The bathroom is a real feature of this home. Spacious and tiled from floor to ceiling, it is a touch of luxury. A full walk in shower and heated towel rail on a timer controller with the fan add to the appeal. Two good sized bedrooms complete the home. The timber floors throughout are gorgeous and provide easy care. At the rear, a practical 'mud room' is ideal for those wet days, this is where the laundry is and a shelter for stacking your wood is located just outside the back door.

The land is an ideal 1320m2, a perfect amount of space to spread out and have fruit trees, veggie patches and chickens, but not too much to become a slave to your property. There are already Apple, Cherry, Lemon and Plum trees, as well as an array of flowering plans such as Rhododendrons and Roses. A paved area within the garden setting is a great spot to entertain or simply sit back and enjoy all to yourself. This leads to the main wood storage and a garden shed, which provides a great space for all the extras you may need to store away.
