About the property
Completely Renovated 3-Bed Home Steps from Franklin
This is a rare combination: a thoughtfully reworked interior and new mechanicals, in a comfortable Franklin location within walking distance to shopping and town amenities. From the moment you enter, the renovation reads as deliberate rather than cosmetic — fresh paint and updated lighting set a calm, modern palette while new luxury vinyl plank flooring on the main level flows through living spaces and connects a reimagined kitchen to everyday life.
The brand-new, redesigned kitchen is the pivot of the main level. Clean lines and contemporary finishes create space for cooking and casual dining; nearby areas open to living and dining zones so hosting feels effortless. A main-level powder room and practical storage make daily living efficient, while systems-level upgrades — new HVAC, electrical and plumbing — give peace of mind beyond surface beauty.
Downstairs the finished basement expands usable square footage to approximately 2,160 total square feet. All-new ceramic tile and a gas log fireplace form a welcoming secondary family room, ideal for movie nights, overnight guests or a home office. The flexible lower level invites multiple layouts and paired with the upper-level bedrooms, gives real separation between work and rest.
Outdoor living centers on a covered porch that leads to a deck — a quiet spot to unwind and still enjoy the convenience of town nearby. Significant investments are evident throughout: foundation improvements, updated porch and deck stairs, and a two-car garage for storage and parking. With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the home balances practical family needs with upgraded systems and finishes, making it an excellent turnkey option for buyers who want to move in and begin enjoying Franklin right away.
This property shows the value of a full renovation done with care: mechanicals that reduce near-term maintenance risk, thoughtful flooring and finishes, and a basement that truly expands living options. For buyers seeking a solidly updated single-family home close to town services, this one is ready to occupy and enjoy.

Editorial market perspective
Price alignment and system upgrades make this listing stand out in the current Franklin market. The broker list price of $388,000 matches the valuation midpoint from public listing data and yields a price-per-square-foot of about $180 — consistent with a competitively positioned, fully renovated single-family home in town. While local MLS-level metrics (exact days on market and inventory counts) are not provided in the supplied data, turnkey, mechanically-updated homes in walkable Franklin locations frequently attract quicker buyer attention than similar unrenovated properties. Sellers who have invested in major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical and foundation) are often able to command steady interest and fewer inspection contingencies. For buyers, this means a listing priced at market value with reduced near-term capital outlay. Active buyers should be prepared with financing in place and clear priorities; conservative offers will be most competitive when a property offers both finished living space and recent major upgrades.
