    What's special

    Filled with natural lightPrivate patioSpacious walk-in tile showerSpacious family roomUpgraded kitchenLarge islandOne-car garage
    Discover the sought-after Litchfield floorplan featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a one-car garage in a prime Franklinton location. End unit in a cul-de-sac! Better than new, this beautifully maintained townhome offers the perfect blend of modern style, comfort, and convenience. Filled with natural light, the open-concept floor plan features 9-foot ceilings and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas, bathrooms, and laundry room. The spacious family room flows seamlessly into the upgraded kitchen, complete with quartz countertops, a large island, stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinetry, and an eat-in dining area, with easy access to the private patio, backyard, and outdoor storage—perfect for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying beautiful sunset views. Upstairs, the generous primary suite offers a sitting area, walk-in closet, dual quartz vanity, and a spacious walk-in tile shower. Two additional bedrooms provide plenty of space for family, guests, or a home office. Located just off Capital Boulevard and minutes from downtown Franklinton, this home provides convenient access to shopping, dining, major commuter routes, Downtown Raleigh, and RDU International Airport, while still offering the charm of small-town living. A unique bonus: although the current owner used the property as a primary residence, they obtained a Special Use Permit for short-term rentals, creating an exciting opportunity for investors or buyers seeking additional income potential. Beautiful, gently used furniture and appliances are also available for purchase separately. Buyers interested in purchasing any of the furnishings may request a furniture price sheet. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home with optional turnkey furnishings in one of Franklinton's fastest-growing communities.
