Welcome to this 100-year-old, brick, craftsman-style hm that is full of character & charm, sitting just minutes from all the best parts of downtown Franklin - Province Park, Greenway Trail, Aquatic Center, Amphitheater, & all of the downtown shops, restaurants, & bars. This beauty was built a century ago and it still shines with original hardwood floors, lg windows, & a warm, welcoming feel throughout. The layout offers plenty of space to relax or entertain. The main floor features a sunroom; it's the ideal spot for a cozy reading nook, morning coffee, or a hm office. The LR features a gas FP & built-in bookshelves. Just off the LR is an oversized formal DR, ideal for hosting holidays, dinner parties, or just enjoying everyday meals in a classic setting. The basement expands your options with a bonus room that could easily serve as a 4th bedroom, game room or second living area. There's also a full BA, a spacious laundry room w/ extra storage. Outside is where this hm really shines-enjoy the beautifully landscaped, fenced backyard w/ mature trees, space for a garden, gazebo, firepit, shed & a peaceful vibe. Spend your summers in the in-ground pool or entertaining on the spacious deck. The 600 sq ft carriage house offers tons of potential for a studio, workshop, in-laws quarters or rental. This home really has the best of both old-school charm and everyday convenience.
