Tucked near historic downtown Franklin, Kentucky, this classic brick ranch offers the kind of character, warmth, and everyday functionality that is becoming harder to find in newer construction. It offers over 2,153 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and multiple living spaces, plus a carport and garage. 505 S College Street feels substantially larger than it appears from the curb while still maintaining the comfortable ease of one-level living. Inside, the home blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates, including an updated kitchen, hardwood flooring, built-ins, and not one but two fireplaces that create inviting gathering spaces throughout the home. The layout offers flexibility for both quiet evenings at home and entertaining friends and guests. Step outside and the lifestyle continues with a private fenced backyard, covered patio, and open patio extension that create the perfect setting for morning coffee, relaxed evenings, or weekend get-togethers. The combination of a 2-car garage plus an additional 2-car carport also gives this property a level of convenience and functionality buyers rarely find in established Franklin neighborhoods. Located close to historic downtown Franklin, walkable areas, Franklin-Simpson Middle School and High School, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this home also offers quick access to I-65 for an easy commute to Bowling Green or Nashville. For buyers searching for homes for sale in Franklin KY with character, one-level living, outdoor space, and an established neighborhood feel, 505 S College Street offers an opportunity that stands apart from the typical cookie-cutter option. This may be one you’ll want to experience in person.
