401 W Cedar St Franklin, KY 42134

Standing proudly on the corner of West Cedar Street in Franklin, this historic home has been welcoming people through its doors since 1898, more than 125 years of history, character, and everyday life woven into every corner. And you can see it. From the moment you step inside, the details tell you this home is different. Original wooden trim frames the rooms, transom windows let the light move through the home, and oversized wooden doors and windows are reminders of a time when craftsmanship was built to last. Beautiful fireplaces add warmth and character throughout, while tall ceilings, abundant storage, and original wooden stairs, worn smooth in places from generations of footsteps, give the home a sense of history you simply can't recreate. And then there are the little surprises. Tucked inside a doorway, you'll find handwritten notes left directly on the original wood more than a century ago. It's the kind of detail that makes you stop and wonder who stood there before you, what they were thinking, and what life looked like when this home was new. The home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2,436 +/- square feet of well-kept living space on a 0.42 +/- acre corner lot. Outside, mature landscaping, a fenced backyard, shed, and carport add practicality to all that historic charm. Most importantly, this is a home that has been cared for and maintained, with a solid structure and the character that comes from more than a century of being lived in and loved. Located in Franklin, a growing community with a strong sense of place, this is more than an opportunity to own a historic house. It's a chance to become the next chapter in a story that started in 1898. Because you can build a new house. You can't build 125 years of character.
