About This Home
As of April 2025SELLERS ARE HIGHLY MOTIVATED & WILLING TO CONSIDER ALL REASONABLE OFFERS! Built in 1900 for Dr. Kepell in the beautiful and historic City of Franklin, this home was constructed from the cypress wood taken from the original 200 year old home that was located on the property prior to this one. 402 Main is located in the Historic District of Franklin on a picturesque oak tree & lamp post lined street. The home features 3 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, over 2,700 square feet of living space and a spacious attic that could give you more square footage if finished! Walking up to the front of the home you will be welcomed by a large front porch and enter through the front door into the foyer. To the left is the formal living room complete with original oak floors, built ins, a fireplace and a large window that overlooks Main Street. Off the living room is a flex space and the staircase that leads to the attic. Through the foyer you are led to the formal dining room, kitchen area and a space that could be used as an informal living space or keeping area - these rooms overlook the large back yard and the Bayou Teche. The Primary Bedroom is to the rear of the home and has views of the back yard and bayou and its own bathroom. The additional two bedrooms are a great size and share a jack-and-jill bathroom. Roof was recently replaced in Sept. 2024; windows are 10 years old.
