513 Franklin Street #The Franklin House Sold | $1,190,000

The Franklin House, looking straight up historic gas-lit, tree-lined Hughes Street, was built in 1876 by Alfonso S. Bennett. With only two prior families owning this property., the current family renovated and restored this property with pride as it was gutted, lifted, stripped, and refurbished with new Marvin wood windows, new electrical wiring, plumbing lines, gas piping, cable wiring, and ductwork throughout. Using historically appropriate materials and fixtures as well as refinishing many of the original furnishings and fixtures blending old and new in a simple, fresh, classic result. The grounds are a blend of victorian-era plants such as a fern garden and southern magnolia trees, mixed with refreshed blue slate walkways and crushed shell and blue stone-ground coverings. With two porches, a summer porch room, a replicated garage structure, and intimate landscaping, the grounds are conducive for peaceful individual reflection as well as fresh-air group gatherings. The summer kitchen is simple with a large pantry and boasts a separate two-story space that is its own retreat or extra living space. Occupied so kindly call for an appointment. Associated Docs has an improvement list and inventory. 2-3 car parking in back.
