Description

Captivating and worry-free starter or downsizer home in a great commuter location in Franklin, a friendly town well known for its first-rate public schools! So many things were done beyond what was required in this high-quality remodel: hard-wired smoke alarms, installation of a DryZone Basement System with transferable warranty, attractive retaining wall for the brand-new septic system, 25-year architectural roof, and more. The sellers improved this home as if they were going to live in it, themselves, for the next 20 years. The luxurious granite-and-stainless kitchen, with two-level countertop breakfast bar, opens up into the welcoming living room on the short walk to the oversized dining room. And you're only 41 miles (approx.) by car to Boston, 21 miles to Providence, RI. From the driveway of this beautiful home, you can be on Route 495 within a couple of minutes, or take the 2.0-mile, seven-minute drive to the commuter rail stop near the center of town. Terrific value, won't last!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
