Positioned up a quiet country lane in the historic, riverside town of Franklin sits this delightful 1880's country cottage. This gorgeous property is filled with original features including timber floors, wide detailed architraves, a classic fretwork verandah and white picket fence. The home has been stylishly and sympathetically renovated to accentuate the character and charm, whilst adding modern convenience. This home has been meticulously loved and cared for over many, many years and we have the absolute pleasure of presenting to you 7 Coleman St, Franklin.
The charming home features 3 spacious bedrooms with original sash windows and gorgeous timber floors. One of the front bedrooms even has its own woodfire set in the original open fireplace with a classic timber mantle adding charm and ambiance. The bedrooms are all served by a large family bathroom complete with walk-in tiled shower and spa bath - the perfect place to relax and recharge. The living spaces have been made wonderfully open plan and welcoming with a new modern kitchen and lounge, making it the ideal space to gather with friends and family. In addition to the great space downstairs, there is also a large loft area where you can let your imagination run wild, or simply use as great additional storage. The whole home is kept comfortable year round by a woodfire in the living room and reverse-cycle air conditioner.
Outside, the home is ideally set up for entertaining guests, or just enjoying a quiet night on your own with a sunny, private deck overlooking the garden, complete with spa. The simple, productive garden is low maintenance with a herb and veggie garden and huge, beautiful lemon trees. To the side of the property is a large carport for cars and toys, and a garden shed for extra storage. This gorgeous cottage is not only picture perfect, but also super practical for everyday living.
The Franklin township offers a wonderful community feel with cafes, restaurants and lots of small shops. The town is passionate about boating, art, history and culture, so whether you're looking to sail or row down the river, walk down to catch a comedian at the local cider bar, or embrace waste-free living at the local organic supermarket, Franklin really does have it all. It also has the convenience of a local primary school and post office within easy walking distance, and is situated along the Tassielink bus route to the city. Franklin sits approximately 10 minutes drive from the Huon Valley hub of Huonville, and approximately 40 minutes drive from the Hobart CBD. I can't wait to show you around this wonderful home.
