Located right in the heart of the Franklin township with the popular Living Boat Trust across the road, walking distance to the shores of the Huon River and the marina, makes this dual residence property very appealing. Set on 1155m2, the original 1951 home offers 2 co-joined units consisting of 3 bedrooms on one side and 2 bedrooms on the other. Access down the side takes you into the spacious backyard, where there are fruit trees and a practical shed, cleverly placed along the side boundary. A gate at the bottom of the garden leads you out to the main road, where it is a short stroll down to the river.
This is a rare offering with the dual residence set-up. Ideal for the couple with an elderly parent or for great extra income. Unit 1 is currently vacant, consisting of an open plan living, dining and kitchen with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom/laundry combination. The back door from here provides direct access to the majority of the land and the shed. Unit 2 is currently rented out with a lovely tenant in place. This side also offers an open plan living, dining and kitchen with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom/laundry combination as well. Unit 2 has a small courtyard of grass, just enough to enjoy some outdoor space.
Both units have their own separate access from the laneway, allowing you to derive an income from both units should you be interested in an investment. A dual residence with a dual rental return. With the property used as an investment, the yard could be for the tenants, otherwise there is a gate that separates the bottom half of the land from the residence, and with the access directly from the main road, you could enjoy the garden with all the fruit trees, nuts and berries, as well as the shed for your own use. Store your kayaks here or set-up your wood working studio.
