Right in the middle of the historic riverside town of Franklin, is this intriguing property. Consisting of 3 separate accommodations, a shop space, and a workshop underneath, as well as a backyard that opens out to the Foreshore Reserve along the Huon River, makes this property very interesting. Currently, 2 of the flats are rented out with the third operating as a short stay accommodation. The shop is currently not in use. All of these areas are metered separately for convenience. The shop is accessible through both Flat 1 or Flat 3 with the main entry from the Franklin Main Street.
Flat 1 (3409 A), still has period features, including a long wide hallway, extra high ceilings and feature fireplaces. Flat 1 spans the full depth of the building, entered off the street at the front, through to the covered entertaining at the rear. Flat 1 comes with a spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen, with 2 bedrooms, and separate laundry and bathroom. The timber kitchen overlooks the river and offers plenty of storage and bench space. This space has a long term tenant of 10 years on a month-to-month rolling lease, who is keen to stay on.
Below this is Flat 2 (3409B). Entered from the rear and side of the building, Flat 2 has a central lounge connecting the recently refurbished kitchen and bathroom with 2 extra rooms. One is an ideal bedroom and the other could be a second bedroom, otherwise makes a nice extension to the lounge and provides access to the rear covered entertaining deck. A reverse cycle air-conditioner keeps Flat 2 comfortable all year round. This space is currently tenanted until April.
Back at street level, Flat 3 (3409C), is accessed from the carport on the side. This has had extensive renovations and is available fully furnished, currently operating as short stay accommodation. The forward bookings consists of nightly rates with a minimum 2 night stays, and then a weekly rate for 3-month block bookings. Flat 3 consists of a semi-open plan lounge, dining and kitchen. There is a separate bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom. Comfort and ease is assured with a reverse cycle air-conditioner. Known as 'Funky Flat in Franklin', everything to operate as is now is available on sale.
The shop (3409D), is an open plan space with some storage in the back corner, which cleverly extends into what was once another hallway. Currently, there is direct access to the shop area from Flat 3, creating great flexibility. Alternatively, the shop space could be returned into 2 rooms. One would connect with flat 1 making it 3 bedrooms, and the other to Flat 3, extending the lounge or making it 2 bedrooms. Previously operating as a gift shop, this space could suit a multitude of possibilities including office space or for a working artisan and is also serviced by a reverse cycle air-conditioner.
Underneath are spaces ideal for storage and a workshop. Down here there is an old laundry facility with a separate toilet. All metered separately allows you to operate each independently either entirely as an investment, or live on site yourself and derive an income from parts of the building. The backyard grounds are park-like with some old pair trees and a big old willow in the back corner. A gate opens out to the Huon River foreshore right opposite a small boat ramp and jetty.
The vacant land next door is potentially also available for purchase. This is a similar size and has a driveway formed off the Main Street to a carport. Please enquire should that be of interest as well.
Franklin is a quaint town with a multitude of eateries, within a walking distance. The main hub of the Huon Valley is at Huonville within 10 minutes by car and the Hobart CBD is around 40 minutes away.
