Step back in time in this charming circa-1900 Franklin farmhouse with an income producing guest house! The primary home sits at 2560 SF with an additional 750 SF in the guest house (not reflected in the tax record). The home is ideally situated across the street from Pinkerton Park and a short walk to the shops, restaurants, and historic charm of Downtown Franklin. From the rocking-chair front porch to the original hardwood floors, interior doors, and transom windows, this home is filled with the character and craftsmanship that simply can't be recreated. Thoughtful renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms and a 900 SF addition to the home helps to complement the home's historic details while adding modern comforts. The 2014 addition added a primary suite with a bathroom, an upstairs bedroom and bonus room. The recently paved driveway provides ample parking for family and friends. A rare and valuable feature of this property is the detached, 2 car garage with approximately 750 square feet of living space above it (not counted in the tax record). It consists of a room and full bath and is currently operating as a profitable short term rental generating more than $20k in annual profit. Continue using it as a short-term rental (with the city's approval), create a private guest suite, accommodate multi-generational living, or give an adult child a space of their own. This desirable location will find you walking downtown for the numerous festivals (Main Street Festival, Rodeo Parade, Franklin on the Fourth, Pumpkin Fest, Holiday Tree Lighting, Dicken's of a Christmas and MORE!). Instead of circling around searching for paid parking, you'll wander into town for dinners, Art Crawls, music festivals, or to grab an ice cream from Kilwins. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Franklin's history with character, location, flexibility, and income potential all in one remarkable property. PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS COMING NEXT WEEK.
Central Franklin, located between Downtown Franklin and the Cool Springs corridor, is a historic and walkable Franklin neighborhood with brick-lined streets and a courthouse-square rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Public Square at 2nd Ave N and Main St, where galleries, indie boutiques, and patio dining set a steady hum. Architectural cues lean Victorian and early-20th-century cottages alongside restored storefront blocks. The Franklin Theatre anchors evenings with marquee-lit screenings and live sets. Puckett’s Grocery & Restaurant and Merridee’s Breadbasket keep the daytime cadence tied to local tables and coffee. Bicentennial Park and the Harpeth River Greenway add shaded loops and river-edge views.
