About This Home
As of October 2020Historic charm mixed with modern updates, all nestled in the heart of downtown Franklin...welcome to 18 Martin Ave! This charming 1902 Victorian maintains periodic details (hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, and craftsman style woodwork) yet offers modern-day luxuries with a completely renovated kitchen (granite countertops, island & stainless steel appliances) AND central air conditioning! All three bedrooms are on the second story, along with one of the two full bathrooms. There's a surprise in the otherwise-unfinished basement...a completely finished 10x13 bonus room! It's the perfect set up for a private and quiet home office. The back yard offers just the right amount of space; partially fenced and colorfully landscaped...great for your home garden or dinner on the back deck. You're going to LOVE the location; Martin Ave is a quiet, sidewalk-lined street; a short stroll to Franklin Town Common, restaurants, shopping and more!. Easy access to the train and highway.
