About This Home
As of November 2025Welcome to this very well-cared-for and cozy 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home that blends that 1900 historic charm with todays modern updates. This 3,080 square foot home is just a short stroll to Franklin's parks, amphitheater and vibrant downtown. As you enter the warm and inviting atmosphere, a stunning two-sided exposed brick fireplace divides the open-concept living area from the spacious kitchen and dining space. This creates an ideal layout for entertaining and daily life flow. The generous kitchen, featuring a large island, is a chef's dream and comes with modern stainless appliances that, along with the mechanicals, windows and roof, are all approximately five years old. For added flexibility, the main level includes a convenient bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom. In the back of the house, you will find a large, versatile office and mudroom area, complete with abundant storage above, ready for you to make your own. The primary and two other bedrooms are upstairs. Recent improvements include brand new gutters in 2025, paint in 2024 and several other updates throughout the home. An unfinished basement provides even more storage and access. Experience the best of walkable downtown living from this charming and updated piece of Franklin's history. Motivated sellers and the driveway is on an easement so you have off street private parking.
