Nestled in the very heart of Franklin, one of the Huon Valley’s most historic riverside townships, this beautifully preserved 1895 weatherboard home offers timeless character.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s classic features set the tone from leadlight detailing in the front door, high ceilings with decorative roses, timber sash windows, original open fireplaces with restored mantles, and polished hardwood floors all speak to an era of craftsmanship rarely found today. Recently refreshed with new paint throughout, renovated bathrooms and ample heating and cooling, the interiors feel bright, airy and comfortable year round.
The flexible floorplan allows for up to five bedrooms if needed or a combination of living, dining or study spaces. Two front rooms feature ornate fireplaces and glimpses of the Huon River. The central living and dining area is warmed by both a reverse-cycle air conditioner and a slow-combustion wood heater, with direct access to the covered front verandah — the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in river and valley views. The country-style kitchen has been tastefully renovated with white cabinetry, timber benchtops, a porcelain sink, island bench and walk-in pantry.
Outside, the low-maintenance garden features fruit trees, flowering beds, a covered entertaining area, off-street parking, storage rooms and a small studio. Just a short stroll away are cafés, riverside walks, local markets and the iconic Palais Theatre.
Only 5 minutes from Huonville and 40 minutes to Hobart, this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy village living with historic charm in a truly special setting.
