Three bedrooms renovated, 1920′s home on 1.3 Acres, complete with original features and steeped in history. Close to both Huonville and Franklin townships and bus services. Would suit family, or people looking to live a more self sufficient lifestyle.
The home which is bright and sunny has covered verandas on all four sides so you can choose where you would like to wind down and relax. There are 3 spacious, double bedrooms with capped open fireplaces and pressed metal ceilings.
The formal sitting room with its large sash windows takes in the gardens outside and is warmed by electric heating. The traditional hallway runs the full length of the home and features chandelier light fittings. Pretty leadlight windows at both front and back door add to the character of this home.
The large bathroom consists of shower, bath, large vanity and original fireplace. The kitchen features Huon pine bench tops and the original walk in pantry. The sunny and inviting family/dining area is combined to create a country style feel, with stunning views north to Sleeping Beauty. A large built in book case, invites you to curl up in front of the fire on a winter’s night. The house is fully insulated and despite the high ceilings, it is warm and inviting in winter and cool in the summer. A heat pump provides convenience when the ambience of a wood fire is not required.
Two sun rooms on either side of the house have heaps of potential to be converted to a study or additional living space both rooms have original wrap around windows with lovely mountain and river views.
The 1.3 acres of grounds include plenty of room for a pony, well established gardens and many types of ornamental trees. The garden has been designed to reduce maintenance, whilst providing an abundance of fruit and nuts. A gracious old walnut tree takes pride of place in the garden, whilst berries, apples, apricots, nectarines, peaches and plums provide plenty of opportunity for one to preserve and make jam. An existing chook run, plenty of space to grow vegies and keep sheep, this means that the owners of this home could practice living a self sufficient lifestyle.
The large original apple packing shed has three phase power and a concrete slab. It could be converted to accommodation (STCA) or a teenagers retreat. If not it would make an amazing workshop to compliment the smaller existing workshop which is situated closer to the house.
Ample storage is available at this historic home – one of the original homesteads of Franklin. This property is only minutes to Franklin’s lovely cafes and restaurants, as well as the conveniences of the Huonville Township. Opportunities for water sports such as sailing and kayaking abound in Franklin. Inspections are by appointment only.
