3400 Huon Highway, Franklin TAS 7113

In the heart of the historic Franklin township and opposite the Huon River, local bowls club and the sports oval the Old Bank is one of the Huon Valley's most iconic buildings.

This property includes a restored 1920 built bank building that has been transformed into a desirable home positioned at the front of the property, a separate 2 bedroom unit positioned at the rear of the property and a fully lined and insulated garage, workshop, shed and art studio - ideal for hobbies or small business avenues positioned between the two residences.

With the flexible village zoning, this property offers many residential and small business opportunities to the entrepreneurial purchaser.

The main building that is currently used as a residence includes formal lounge, formal dining, kitchen and amenities with upstairs offering 3 large bedrooms plus a bathroom and a sunroom with river views. There is a shop front area with office space and the original bank vault which has been converted to another bathroom. The practical kitchen has been upgraded in recent years, featuring a stainless steel stove and rangehood, chefs style checkered flooring and butlers pantry with sink and dishwasher. There is plenty of original charm on display throughout the home including bay windows, beautiful timber floorboards and mantle pieces, picture rails, and high ceilings.

Outside you walk through the beautiful gardens and past the picket fences to the main street where you have the bowls club opposite, post office and store next door, multiple restaurants up and down the street and the Huon River over the wide open foreshore where you can walk, ride and enjoy the rowing, sailing, fishing and everything riverside living has to offer.

A rare opportunity to purchase a piece of history along with the advantage of a unit and commercial space, this property has endless potential uses and will be sure to impress you on a further private inspection of the old bank.
