Description

Inviting Starter Home on a Spacious Lot – Your Franklin Retreat Awaits!

Welcome to 511 Forest Avenue, a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch built in 1952, nestled on a generous lot in one of Franklin’s most established neighborhoods. This single-level home offers cozy, efficient living with a warm and inviting layout. The sunlit living room flows into a functional kitchen with ample counter space, vintage charm, and room to make it your own.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and versatile—ideal for restful retreats, a home office, or guest space. The full bathroom maintains its classic character and is ready for your updates.

Outside, the spacious, fenced backyard is a true highlight. Surrounded by mature trees, it offers endless potential for entertaining, gardening, pets, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Off-street parking and established landscaping add to the home’s curb appeal.

Situated just minutes from downtown Franklin, local schools, parks, and shops, the location is as convenient as it is peaceful. With quick access to I-75, commuting to Dayton or Cincinnati is easy, and outdoor lovers will enjoy proximity to Caesar Creek State Park.

In a market where area homes are trending above $300,000, this is a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained property full of charm and value. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, investor, or someone looking to downsize, 511 Forest Avenue is ready to welcome you home.
