About this House

This is a beautiful Cape Cod style home built in 1946. This home has significant updating while still maintaining its historical charm. The original hardwood floors and oak stairs have been restored. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with updated cabinetry, granite counter tops, and stainless steel appliances. This home perfect for growing families as it has four bedrooms, one on the main level and three upstairs. This home also has ample storage with large closets, attic space, and a basement. This list price and the listed lot size include a second neighboring lot bordering the house that includes a very large quonset hut. The quonset hut is perfect for storing vehicles, while still allowing for plenty of room for a workshop. (A quonset hut is a semi-cylindrical metal building, akin to a small airplane hangar.)
Outdoor space is beautiful with bamboo creating a natural privacy shield around one side of the property, two gorgeous magnolia trees, and a ginkgo tree that will absolutely astound when colors change in the fall. Flowering shrubs like rhododendron, azalea, and hydrangea are beautiful in bloom, and the front corner of the house is set ablaze by a red Japanese maple that is visible from the road.
Walking distance to downtown (you never have to worry about parking for festivals!), located close to fire and police stations, you have all the convenience and benefits of living in the middle of town, but the home is tucked away, so that you have a real feeling of privacy, with only one visible neighbor.
71 Sunset Dr, Franklin, NC 28734 is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2,212 sqft single-family home built in 1946. It last sold for $165,000 on Aug 26, 2005. This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia. The Trulia Estimate is $342,700, with a rent estimate of $2,065/month.

    "Most events held in Franklin NC are old-fashioned and geared towards the elderly age group. Up to date technology is not widely used and internet is rarely available here. There is very little to do in Franklin for the 18 - 45 year old age range, unless you like to hike. Easy trip to make a Asheville though for fun. "
