About This Home

As of December 2024

Welcome to 8 Franklin Avenue! This charming 3-bedroom, 2 bath colonial offers a peaceful suburban retreat with modern finishes. As you approach the property, you are greeted by fresh landscaping, covered front porch, and a long driveway leading to a spacious 2 car, detached garage. Step inside to an airy open floor plan with refinished oak hardwood floors and a cozy, wood burning fire place. The open floor concept continues as you walk the first floor of this Flourtown gem. The kitchen, which boasts stainless steel appliances, pendulum lighting, recessed lighting, quartz countertops, and farm sink, leads to a comfortable great room. This space is perfect for entertaining and features vaulted ceilings, plenty of natural light, full bathroom w/tile throughout and a mudroom. Exit the great room through sliding glass doors onto a private deck with custom railing. Heading up to the second level, you'll find three large bedrooms with hardwood floors throughout and a hall bath. Each bedroom features a newly installed mini-split HVAC system. In addition, 8 Franklin has a full size basement with additional workspace (presently used as a gym) recently built 2 car detached garage with electric (2021), updated electrical panel (2022) and newer water heater (2021). This home offers easy access to top-rated Springfield Township schools, major highways, and is just a short drive from Chestnut Hill and Flourtown’s charming shops and dining. Quick access to Route 309 for an easy commute to work.
