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.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son went to school here, and while he wasn't the most diligent of students, he received an exceptional amount of support for four years. The teachers were genuinely concerned for student welfare and academic achievement and reached out (usually by email) to update parents on classroom activities. The high school offered many opportunities for student engagement with after-school clubs, sports programs, and summer camps. My son required a special ed plan and received one. It was reviewed periodically and measured for goal setting. When the pandemic hit, it was very, very hard for everyone. The teachers tried to be flexible and creative to maintain interest in remote learning and when the students returned to classrooms, hygiene was of extreme importance--hand washing, wiping down desks, masking, etc. All in all, my son had a very good experience at this school.Parent Review1y ago - Jefferson Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved to the Jefferson district prior to having children. Once we had kids and looked to move to a larger home, we didn't even consider moving to another part of Franklin. The school has the nicest campus in town, the students all know each other, the administration makes it a point to know each student (the one negative comment from 2014 seems odd, and that principle has since left), and the communication with parents and partnership is amazing. They often look for feedback from families, champion kind and respectful behavior from their students, and have a great staff of teachers who really work as partners with their students' families.Parent Review7y ago - Remington Middle School
