Solid Bones, Real Space, and Room to Make It Yours. Seller Says Bring Your Offer! Brick ranchers don't come along often — and this 1988 all-brick home on 2.03 open acres in Franklin County delivers the kind of square footage and durability that's genuinely hard to find at this price. With over 2,500 finished square feet on one level plus a full basement, there's real room to live, work, and spread out. The standout is the 19x28 kitchen — anchored by a large island, custom raised-panel cabinetry, double oven, propane cooktop, and recessed lighting. There's plenty of space to add appliances and make it entirely your own. The living room features a quality wood stove and wood wainscoting, creating a warm, inviting gathering space. Major systems have been addressed: a 2021 Mitsubishi heat pump provides both heating and central air, 14 replacement windows were installed that same year, and a whole-house re-plumb was completed in 2025. The 33x8 covered front porch overlooks a fully chain-link fenced lot — practical for your pets, or simply enjoying the open countryside. This property is priced for buyers who recognize value and are ready to add their own finishing touches. Conventional and cash financing. Schedule your private tour today.
