Originally an 1890 property, the original ornate shop front has been kept and restored and there is now a whole new home attached behind with all the modern day comforts we have come to expect. Including full sound proofing and thermal insulation, double glazing and an open plan living, the result is a wonderfully country period home within a very comfortable environment.
The old shop-front area is ideal as the artist studio, sewing room or extra living space. It could even be another bedroom should that be required. Equally, you may want to set up your own business (stca). The open plan design incorporating the kitchen, dining and living areas provide a wonderfully social environment. The kitchen is well thought out and fitted with quality appliances. Perfectly complimented with a walk-in pantry for all your dry-store, jams and preserves. Down the hall leads you to the bedrooms, a central bathroom and separate laundry. The master bedroom has a clever full length walk-in-robe. The internal walls also have sound proofing/thermal insulation allowing for great separation between the bedroom and the lounge.

Out the back there is a pretty paved garden patio to sit back and enjoy the low-maintenance garden setting. Right opposite is the party room, a 6m x 4m shed ideal for storage or long summer night entertaining with a handy attached wood shed too. Right up the back there is a three-bay 12m x 6m shed where you will be able to fit the car, a boat, the kayaks and still have plenty of space for the workshop.

A solar set-up adds to the self sufficient living combined with the high insulation qualities, your bills will be heavily reduced. A veggie garden allows you to produce your own food and just a short walk away is where the local farmer's markets are held within the gorgeous old Palais Theatre. Franklin is a quaint township packed with history and lines the banks of the beautiful Huon River. Popular for sculls rowing, skiff rowing, wooden boat sailing, yachties and kayakers, the river provides both joy and is the feature in what is a very picturesque scenery.

This is central village living at its most practical with easy access to the river, shops, cafes and the well known wooden boat precinct, including the Wooden Boat Centre and the Living Boat Trust. Franklin is known for it's vibrant community spirit, with many groups to get involved with. Huonville is less than 10 minutes by car where you will find all your services including supermarkets and doctors. The Hobart CBD is only 40 minutes away, making it a commutable distance.
