This historic property was originally constructed in 1887 as the Franklin School and has been fully renovated into a unique residence that blends preserved architectural elements with modern finishes and mechanicals. The main level features an open floor plan with 12’ ceilings, exposed stone, original beams and posts, and reclaimed wood throughout. A full wall of Low-E glass windows provides abundant natural light and views of the surrounding mature trees. The kitchen is equipped with an ILVE 48” dual-fuel range with seven sealed burners and griddle, ZLINE hood, Frigidaire Professional refrigerator and freezer, and a 4’x12’ island with sink and under-counter refrigerator. A centerpiece gas fireplace and direct access to the massive deck complete this level. A custom stair tower leads to the second floor, which has the primary suite, laundry and second bedroom. The private primary suite is designed with 11’ ceilings. The 9’x9’ wet room includes original natural stone, reclaimed slate from the school’s chalkboards, a free standing soaking tub, and two multi-jet showers. The primary also includes a walk-through closet/dressing room area with cabinetry. The laundry room has built in cabinetry and utility sink. The second bedroom has a study nook and full bathroom attached. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, exposed beams, and a spacious loft area. Situated on approximately 1.6 acres, the property features mature trees and a woodland setting with farmland surrounding. The building previously served the community as the Franklin Public School and the Wyebrook Missionary Baptist Church before its residential conversion. Recent improvements include new HVAC systems, Low-E windows, and a propane-fueled automatic generator. This property offers character, privacy, and a thoughtfully designed renovation throughout.
