Tucked away in the mountains between Franklin and Highlands, this charming cabin is ready for someone with a little vision to bring it back to life. The home offers 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths, and a bonus room currently being used as an additional sleeping space. Surrounded by the quiet of the mountains, a sweet little stream, and the potential for a beautiful mountain view with just a little tree trimming, this is the kind of place where the setting does a lot of the talking. Inside, you'll find warm wood floors and a beautiful stone fireplace that gives the home that classic mountain cabin feel. A metal roof is already in place, leaving the next owner the opportunity to focus on making the space their own. Outside, there is plenty of porch space to slow down, listen to the stream, and enjoy the fresh mountain air. The lower level offers even more potential, with a one-car garage and additional unfinished space that could remain a workshop or be finished to create more usable space. A double carport provides additional covered parking. Private and nicely situated between downtown Franklin and Highlands, the location offers the best of both worlds—peace and seclusion while still being within reach of restaurants, shopping, and everything both mountain towns have to offer. With a little love, vision, and some thoughtful updates, this charming mountain cabin could truly be brought back to life. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, a mountain retreat, or a place to make your own, the setting, location, and potential make this one worth seeing.
