About This Home
Welcome to 521 S Main - a thoughtfully restored 1907 American Foursquare nestled in the heart of Franklin's historic core. This home blends timeless character with all the right updates: new HVAC, updated plumbing and electrical, and custom finishes throughout. You'll find high ceilings, original woodwork, statement tubs, and details like limewashed walls - the kind of touches you rarely see outside of architectural magazines. The curb appeal now matches the interior thanks to a refreshed Google Street View that captures not just the home's exterior but also the surrounding city improvements. Franklin itself is on the rise, with a major downtown revitalization in motion - including a new brewery, expanded riverfront bike trails, and investment in local schools. This is the kind of home you move for - a place with story, substance, and real staying power. Whether you're relocating or seeking a forever home with soul.
