Set on 1.11 wooded acres in desirable Dianna Estates, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Colonial offers impressive living and entertaining spaces with a fresh new look throughout nearly every room. Major recent improvements include new 2nd-floor central air and a new 3-zone mini-split system providing heating and cooling on the 1st floor, both added in 2026, plus a new on-demand hot water system installed in 2025. The expansive kitchen features refreshed colors and backsplash, plus an informal cathedral dining area with fireplace and access to the expansive tiered deck. Formal dining and living rooms offer additional gathering space, while the family room leads to the highlight of the home—a stunning cathedral sunroom with fireplace and additional deck access. The primary suite features a beautifully remodeled bath with tiled shower, soaking tub and separate makeup vanity, plus an oversized closet with custom organization system. Three additional bedrooms feature ceiling fans, recessed lighting and custom closet systems. The main bath has also been completely remodeled with a tiled shower. The finished lower level adds exceptional versatility with a recently added 5th bedroom with egress window and adjoining remodeled full bath with tiled shower, new home gym with rubber flooring, sauna, game room, media area with theater screen and projector, wet bar with full-size refrigerator, built-in cubby seating, storage areas and a wall of custom shelving. Oversized driveway with ample parking. Quick closing preferred.
Wadsworth, located between Downtown Franklin and the Forge Hill area, is a residential and civic Franklin neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a campus-like public realm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Franklin High School complex on Oak Street, where fields, school buildings, and after-hours activity set the daily rhythm. Housing reads as classic New England suburbia—capecods, colonials, and mid-century splits—set back behind lawns and stone walls. Side streets feed into pocket greens and school grounds that function as informal gathering space. The vibe is practical and community-oriented, with local institutions doing much of the cultural heavy lifting. Franklin Public Library, Dean College’s campus venues, and THE BLACK BOX anchor arts, learning, and live performance nearby.
