Franklin TAS 7113

Classic Federation style 1910 home on 1137m2 of low-maintenance gardens. Great position, just on the edge of the township and up a bit from the main street. It is an easy walk to the local primary school, the center of Franklin and down to the river's edge for those evening strolls. Facing due north, it is also a wonderfully sunny position with lovely rural and mountain views from all the windows. The living room is huge and combined with the 4 spacious bedrooms which provides plenty of space for the growing family. The master suite is at the rear with picture windows on 3 sides, this room has views of the river and would be fit for a princess. The kitchen and sitting room come off the end of the lounge and can be closed off. The kitchen has a walk-in pantry and behind the back wall there is still the original old open fireplace where the cooking used to be done in swinging pots on an open fire. There are many other open fireplaces throughout the house, each capped or blocked off at the moment, just waiting to be brought back to their former glory. A nice new wood fire has recently been installed keeping you snug all year round. This grand old lady will reward the new owner after some clever renovations or as it is now, it will provide a wonderful family home. Franklin is a quaint riverside town with a historic village feel. There is a great sense of community here with many groups and activities to involve yourself with should that be of interest. Including wooden boats, land-care history and theatre just to name a few. Hobart is a leisurely 45 minutes drive with all the services of Huonville just 10 minutes down the road. Please contact me anytime for further information or to arrange an inspection so I can show you through this beautiful home.
