The once grand Franklin Treat house built in 1864 is finally up for grabs. This formally elegant Mansard Mansion was designed by an architect from Boston. The materials used and craftsmanship can still vaguely be seen but decades of abandonment and lack of maintenance have taken a rough toll on this former beauty. Currently in need of a massive clean out then extensive renovations and repairs, this 4,300 square foot historic icon could offer up to 6 bedrooms and as many bathrooms with its three floors. Bring your safety shoes, flashlight and visions of preservation!
