About This Home
Charming Antique Colonial with Modern Updates in the Heart of Franklin! Built circa 1900, this lovingly maintained attached single-family home sits on a quiet dead-end street, offering both privacy and easy access to the commuter rail, shopping, and restaurants. The home beautifully blends character and functionality, featuring a sunlit kitchen and dining area with gleaming hardwood floors, elegant woodwork, and custom built-in cabinets. The remodeled kitchen showcases upgraded cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a large island, striking countertops and direct access to a private deck-perfect for summer entertaining. Additional highlights include a one-car garage, ample storage, efficient gas heat with two zones, and 4 window AC units for seasonal comfort. The partial basement reflects the home’s early 20th-century solid construction, with some original fieldstone walls and traditional wood beams, thoughtfully reinforced with modern lally column to ensure structural integrity.
