Two great new listings just hit the market on the same street in the desirable Franklin Hills. One is an updated crafstman with modern amenities and a beautiful backyard with a pool for under $900K, while the other is a slightly smaller traditional home with a large yard and certainly room for a pool for under $800K. Both homes lie in the highly rated Franklin School District.
The first home let's discuss is the crafstman (shown here). It was built in 1914 and has nice period details, but with modern touches sprinkled throughout. The large kitchen is quite nice with a vintage O'Keefe & Merritt stove and soapstone counters. The wood floors, white walls, and large windows all work together beautifully and bring the outside in. The landscaping is exquisite and the backyard is the real seller in this one. It is an urban oasis with a sparkling pool, dining area, and fire pit. Great for entertaining or just relaxing on the weekend.

While I think the current owner's went a bit crazy with the wallpaper in this one, overall I think it looks good. It has basically the same sized yard as the crafstman above, but without all the pro style landscaping and pool, which one could certainly do to their liking. The front has a lot of curb appeal, and according to the listing the home was renovated in 2006, so should have all updated systems. The large kitchen has an eat in area and this one also has wood flooring throughout and the master bathroom with frameless glass shower looks really nice. Again though, I think the location and large grassy backyard is the seller on this one. The possibilities are endless.
