7 Forest Road, Franklin TAS 7113

Originally built in 1890 with additions in 1930 this appealing character homestead is ready for restoration. Featuring timber floorboards and Baltic ceilings, open fire place and French doors to the verandahs this old home retains a lot of its original charm and is just waiting for you to bring it back to its former glory.

Offering 3 bedrooms with an open fire place in the main bedroom and French doors opening out to the verandah to overlook the amazing views. The spacious Tas Oak kitchen has electric cook top, oven and rangehood plus a wood stove to assist with cooking and heating. From the kitchen there are more French doors leading out to the side hexagonal entertaining area that joins on to the wrap around verandah, a perfect place for summer bbq's with friends and family. There is a separate dining area with timber floorboards and ceilings and then step down to the large living room with loads of windows to let in the sunshine and to enjoy those views over Mount Wellington and Sleeping Beauty ranges. The timber bathroom has a garden bay window and with some imagination could be a beautiful feature after renovation.

There is plenty of storage room available downstairs with some underdeveloped areas plus a fully lined rumpus room which also gives access to the lounge room above if required.

Facing due north the home is sitting on a 2.5 acre pasture block dotted with Blackwood trees, Gums, Wattle and some fencing, there may even be a couple of bores located on the block from past information obtained.

Character homes like this do not come on the market very often and especially in such a gorgeous location so be quick on your enquiry as this one wont last long. Approximately 40 minutes drive from Hobart CBD. Contact Maree Griggs for further information.
