Overview

Located on the outskirts of the historic Franklin township, this distinguished two-storey residence, known as Franklin Lodge, celebrates a rich heritage while offering expansive, versatile living spaces. Built in 1850, the property sits on a generous 2207 square metre block, perfectly positioned to capture stunning vistas of the Huon River, enhancing both ambience and lifestyle.

The home's distinguished character is evident throughout with soaring 11-foot ceilings, elegant open fireplaces, pressed tin detailing, and original timber floorboards that evoke timeless craftsmanship. The sweeping timber verandah and manicured gardens provide ideal settings for outdoor entertaining or tranquil relaxation amid serene surrounds.

Internally, the residence is designed for large families or investors with business potential. The versatile floor plan includes formal dining and lounge rooms, a dedicated study, and a sunroom, alongside a spacious country-style kitchen fitted with modern comforts such as a timber island bench, new cooktop/oven, dishwasher, and a wood heater for cozy winter nights.

On the ground floor, two generously sized bedrooms both feature ensuites, supplemented by an additional bathroom and a laundry with outdoor access. Upstairs offers four further bedrooms with two additional ensuites, including a master suite that boasts a built-in robe and panoramic river views, underscoring comfort and historical atmosphere.

Outdoors, the expansive backyard is graced with established fruit trees and meticulously maintained gardens. Unique features include a converted woodshed that was formerly a smokehouse and a charming tearoom that invites quiet contemplation of the surrounding landscape.

An additional highlight is the separate self-contained studio accommodation awaiting final approval, presenting an excellent opportunity for guest hosting or a private retreat, underlining the property's flexibility for multi-generational living, business ventures, or private residence.

Conveniently located within walking distance of local cafes, restaurants, and shops, and just minutes from Huonville and a half-hour to Hobart CBD, Franklin Lodge offers a rare combination of historic charm and contemporary opportunity for discerning buyers.
