Built in the 1880s, this charming farmhouse is full of history! This home was once the Watauga Baptist Church here in Franklin, NC! Easy access off a paved-state maintained road leads you right to this 1.01+/- acre property! This home is functionally a 7-bedroom home (6th bedroom 12.6 x 9.4 and 7th bedroom 15.5 x 9) with 2 baths- one on the main level and another on the second story. The home in total is three stories and just under 3000 sq ft! Incredible opportunity to restore a piece of history! Relax on the covered front porch and watch the leaves change this autumn season! On the main level, you’ll find a spacious kitchen, dining room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. The second level houses another 5 rooms that could function as bedrooms- and another bath. The third story has another 2 rooms that could function as storage, an office, or more bedrooms! The opportunities are endless with this home! Enjoy the spacious and cleared backyard- the perfect space for outdoor activities! Approximately 5 minutes from Downtown Franklin! Window units for AC- heat sources vary, and not every room is heated, nor does every bedroom have a closet, due to the age of the home.
