Welcome to your private oasis right in the heart of town. This impeccably maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is truly move-in ready, offering a spotless interior and thoughtful updates throughout. The main level features three bedrooms, including a large primary suite with a private bath and tile shower. Two additional spacious bedrooms share a generous hall bath that serves the rest of the home. The kitchen and dining area provide plenty of cabinet and counter space, flowing easily into a comfortable living room that leads directly onto the 2-year-old back deck overlooking your peaceful, private setting—complete with a firepit for crisp mountain evenings. Hardwood floors and luxury vinyl shine throughout the home, and you'll enjoy peace of mind with a newer roof, newer HVAC, updated lighting, newer appliances, and an active termite bond. The finished basement expands your living options with two versatile bonus rooms, a full bath, plus a large workshop and storage area perfect for projects or hobbies. This is the ideal blend of convenience, privacy, and easy living right in town.
Town Mountain Estates, located between East Main Street and the Little Tennessee River, is a hillside and residential Franklin neighborhood with winding mountain roads and long-range ridge views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the East Main Street corridor by the Macon County Public Library, where coffee counters, local galleries, and small-town storefronts set the day-to-day rhythm. Architectural lines lean toward contemporary mountain homes and classic cabins, often set back in wooded lots. Downtown Franklin’s brick blocks and seasonal festivals add a cultural backdrop without changing the quiet, elevated feel. Outdoor time centers on nearby greenways and river access points. Evenings tend to be porch-forward, with dark skies and the sound of the valley below.
