3770 Huon Highway, Franklin TAS 7113

Franklin is one of the Huon Valley's most picturesque towns and is fast becoming a hub for people from all walks of life. Situated along the beautiful Huon River, the town enjoys an abundance of fishing and boating opportunities as well as delicious cafes, small businesses and restaurants. If being part of this idyllic community sounds like a dream come true, this gorgeous country home might be just what you're after. The spacious, bright 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home is filled with character, but oozes modern convenience and style with a tasteful refurbishment, positioned on a fertile but very manageable 4277m2 (just over an acre). The home has graciously held on to many if its original features including solid timber floorboards, fireplaces and high ceilings.

In true Huon Valley style, you enter this property via the rear of the home into the mudroom for your boots, coats and dog leads. The main family bathroom can also be accessed from here, perfect for coming in off the property for a warm shower or to use the toilet. The 2 family bedrooms are a great size providing plenty of space for kids or guests to spread out. In a separate wing of the home, the huge master suite, with stylish ensuite and built in robe, has access to the covered entertaining deck one side and a huge picture window with views to the Huon River the other. The hero of this home has to be the open plan kitchen, dining and living space which also has views out to the river and opens out through French doors to the glorious undercover outdoor entertaining area perfect for the summer months. From here there is seem-less access to the garden and lawns dotted with ornamental and fruit trees.

Near the home, there is an awesome 7.6m x 9m timber barn with concrete floor and power, ideal as the workshop or garage. A practical double carport allows covered access straight from the cars to the back verandah. In addition to the abundance of space inside, there is a small studio space outside which would suit as a music, art or sewing room. The yard is filled with established ornamental and fruit trees creating a private setting to enjoy along with large sections of lawn, perfect for a picnic, and  for the children or pets to enjoy. Out the back, there is a great area for sheep or goats once fenced off and a chook house is ready to go. This gorgeous country lifestyle is located just 40 minutes drive (approx.) from the Hobart CBD and is along the main Tassie Link bus route making it an ideal home for those who still need a city commute.
