Hidden Position

Tucked away up a battle-axe driveway, this spacious family home is a real surprise. The 2577m2 yard is mostly lawn with low maintenance garden areas including mature ornamental trees and a garage in the back corner. Located up a laneway off of the Main Road leading into Franklin makes this position very desirable. You are able to walk down to the Huon River foreshore for evening strolls and to the many eateries and cider house, without actually being on the main road. The home is cleverly designed to maximise the views of the river and gardens from every room. The living area is open plan with the dining and kitchen tucked around the corner. There is a lovely view of the boats on the river from all these areas. Underneath is a huge rumpus room, ideal for whatever you may need extra space for.<br/><br/>As you arrive at the entry, a long gravel drive is framed by a lovely garden setting on both sides, inviting you down to the home at the end. A loop drive passes by the double garage/shed and the entry into the home. The maintenance on this home is evident, with a fresh coat of paint and recently replaced roof. On entering, a large area opens up to the 3 spare bedrooms at one end and the master bedroom and living at the other.<br/><br/>The main bedroom has a beautiful stone feature open fireplace and in the living a free standing wood fire will keep you snug in the cooler months. Two bathrooms are well positioned at either end of the home and a 5th room is ideal as the home office. From here, there is internal access down stairs to the enormous rumpus room underneath. Recently carpeted, this space is great for the family to spread out in all weather.<br/><br/>Outside, the grounds are split into 3 areas. There is a secure area for a pet and the vast laws will be great for the kids to run around in safety.<br/>Plant your veggies and fruit trees and maybe even have a chicken coop in the back corner. There is plenty of room here for a self-sufficient lifestyle, yet all within a hop and skip to the river and township.<br/><br/>Franklin is an historic riverside town with a great community spirit. There is a real focus on all things wooden boat and the many eateries provide a wonderful vibe and choice. Huonville (the main hub of the Huon Valley) is 10 minutes by car up river and the Hobart CBD is a commutable 35 minutes.<br/><br/>Please contact us for further information or to arrange a private viewing.
