Franklin TAS 7113

The historic Franklin township was settled in the 1800's, and the town is named after Sir John Franklin, Governor of Tasmania from 1837-43, and his philanthropic wife, Lady Jane Franklin. Once a major town of the Huon Valley thanks to shipping and its many jetties, Franklin is now a well-preserved, quiet historic town, still enjoying it's boating and fishing roots. The main street of Franklin is where you will find this lovingly renovated home, packed with historic charm, as well as life's modern conveniences. The home is within walking distance to the cafes, shops and restaurants of Franklin, as well the historic building including the old court house, the old Town Hall (now the Palais Theatre), and the old bank.
The home features 4 spacious bedrooms, as well as a large master suite with ensuite and dressing room. The modern, tasteful kitchen has views across the road to the Huon River as does the delightful study or sunroom at the front of the home. The large, traditional hallway features a lovely decorative arch and the home is complete with original, polished floorboards. A double sided wood fire in the kitchen and living along with convenient reverse cycle heating/cooling keep the home comfortable year round.
Outside, the cottage style gardens are filled with charm and established trees offer a wonderful, private setting to enjoy in the warmer months. There is a large undercover entertaining area at the rear of the property which could also double as a carport, depending on your needs. There is also lovely private courtyard off the master suite-a beautiful spot to sit in the summer with a cup of tea and a good book. Amongst the garden, there is also a small, fully lined studio which would be perfect as an art space, music room, or for any manner of pursuits.
