Here it is!
It was built in 1922 by a company that provided most of the brick for Franklin's downtown buildings. The last of the bricks were used to build this house. It has had some changes over the years. The kitchen was made bigger by converting what was the "morning room", and the back porch was turned into an enclosed sunroom ( my favorite room!). What was a garage in the 1950s is now going to be the "music room" for us.
It is just 7 blocks from downtown Franklin. We'll be able to walk to the farmers market, shops, restaurants and bars, and coffee shops. We'll also be able to walk to the grocery store and Post Office ( handy for me!).
( By the way, all the pictures have the current owners stuff. We don't move in until June!)
I love the backyard. It even has a koi pond with fish in there! You can't tell from the pictures but it's a big lot. There will be plenty of room for gardening.
The sunroom! I love the white painted brick in here.
The formal living room. There is a working fireplace here. The family room has one that's filled in.
All the upstairs bedrooms have transoms. I love all the little details.
An old switch they left for decoration in the living room
One of the 2 stained glass.
Remodeled bathroom. I love the all white!
This upstairs window is where my studio will be! I'm taking the biggest room! Besides, another bedroom has a walk in closet! There is a surprising amount of storage and closet space for a house this old.
We are excited to get moved in!
It has been a whirlwind of appointments, packing, cleaning, and stuff. Also, I'm feeling hopeful about a job. I'm hoping to have it all put together by July and I can relax.
