'What a lovely home.' Get used to hearing that phrase because every time guests come over, that is sure to be their comment. A RARE FIND set on a corner lot on Center Street (the non-busy street of Franklin) this VICTORIAN offers HISTORIC BEAUTY, ORIGINAL DETAILS like oval-cut glass windows, 3 sets of POCKET DOORS, CERAMIC-TILED WOOD FIREPLACE, oak banister, and 2 STAIRCASES. Downstairs, the elegant entrance hall with its tiled fireplace really shows off the wonderful woodwork of the stairs and invites guests to the parlor. The sitting room, dining room and parlor are all connected through amazing wood sliding pocket doors- 3 sets in total. There is a conveniently located half bath just off the MUDROOM near the kitchen. High ceilings, both downstairs, and up, give a truly expansive feeling to the home. The COVERED WRAP-AROUND FRONT PORCH invites residents and guests to linger and take in the beauty of the gentle country village life. The 4 spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms are all upstairs. Each bathroom is conveniently accessed via two doors one from a bedroom and the other from the hallway, making them both ensuite baths, as well as shared. Also from the second floor, easily accessible, full-walk-up stairs open to a HUGE ATTIC that, as it is now, makes an ideal party space for kids of all ages, studio or great storage. The basement is clean and dry with good utilities. The corner lot means a spacious back yard and the impressive 2-STORY CARRIAGE HOUSE with an expansive second floor and electric will appeal to everyone's need for workspace, storage space or even a nifty renovation project. Walk down the street to the Franklin Stage Company and enjoy the Sunday Farmer's Market. Feel secure walking to the store, the school, the playground or even the town swimming pool. 5-minutes to Interstate 88 and 13 minutes to Oneonta hospitals, shopping, more theater and the colleges, this home offers tremendous value and will make a lovely home.
