Description

New to the market! In the heart of Franklin sits this distinctive Mansard-style home, rich with New England character. The front porch, adorned with ornate trim and graceful columns, offers timeless curb appeal and a welcoming wrap-around design. Inside, you'll find a spacious layout with vintage architectural details—perfect for large or growing families. A couple of added bonuses are the apartment in the second story of the ell (which offers opportunity for supplemental income or multigenerational living), and the very efficient greenhouse equipped with water, electricity, and direct access to the ell. Set back from the road and nestled among mature trees and striking granite boulders, the property provides a sense of privacy and tranquility. With its generous footprint, two-story layout, classic craftsmanship, and gardens ready for rejuvenation, this home presents a wonderful opportunity for restoration, homesteading, or rental income. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby Downeast Sunrise Trail, and the property's convenient proximity to Acadia National Park, the Schoodic Peninsula, and area ponds and hiking trails. Bangor International Airport and Bar Harbor Airport are both within easy reach. Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Franklin's history!
