3428 Huon Highway, Franklin TAS 7113

Located right in the heart of the historic riverside town of Franklin, makes this picture perfect property very appealing and super practical. Originally built in 1930, the front part has all the hallmarks of a quaint character cottage, but then it was doubled in size with a gorgeous country style spacious open plan rear extension. The original front section is where you'll find the bedrooms, all with gorgeous period charm and a central bathroom with lovely leadlight windows and corner spa bath. A second bathroom is very practical at the other end of the house. There is also a formal lounge, oozing style, complete with a wood fire to keep you all snug throughout the year. Down the hall, there are 2 practical rooms. One is currently the study or office and the other a fantastic space for both storage and as the sewing and craft room. From here you pop out to the huge open plan living.

In one corner there is a vast lounge area with slot windows allowing plenty of sun to stream into the space. In another corner, there is a lovely dining area with enough space for a table big enough for the whole family. Then there is the kitchen, a spacious country affair with a large island bench and finished to a high standard. There is plenty of storage including full overhead cupboards and a large amount of bench space too. This open plan section is kept comfortable all year round with a reverse cycle air-conditioner. This space all overlooks the very pretty garden setting which is accessed through timber French doors that lead you through to the back verandah and then on to the clever, covered patio in the garden, an ideal spot to sit back with a good book and glass of wine.

The garden is well thought out, providing you with a visual splendor, but also producing veggies too. Just the right size, it is not too much too look after, but will keep you happy. There is a garden shed by the verandah and off to the side there is a large 6m x 9m shed, which is accessed by foot from the garden and by car from the side alley. This is great for your car, the boat and plenty of workshop space too. The back verandah is a lovely space to sit back in complete privacy overlooking your garden setting, and the front verandah provides a covered deck area that is simply beautiful. From here you can watch the world go by and even get a glimpse of the river.

Franklin is a wonderful community spirited town with many activities to get involved with. From here it is an easy walk to the river for your sunset walks and the shops and cafes are even closer. There is a n oval and community tennis court. The bowls club and the rowing club are just a few of the many possibilities to keep you busy. The wooden boat centre and living boat trust are priceless for the wooden boat lover and the town has a wonderful Palais theatre with huge historic significance. This is used by and run by the community hosting many different events. Please contact me for more information or to arrange a private viewing.
