About This 1900 Historic House In Franklin Louisiana

Take a step back in time as you enter this stately Victorian home, located in the Historic District of Franklin. This home is a vision of southern charm and elegance at every turn; from its elaborately crafted wrap around porches, to its stained-glass windows – this home is an architectural dream. The home sits on a modest corner lot just off the beautiful Lamp Post lined Main Street of Franklin.

Its wrap around porches features ornate wood details, floor to ceiling windows with exterior, wooden shutters, Bevolo gas lanterns, and a setting that will make this porch one of your favorite places to pass the time. First Floor is 2,944 square feet with 3-bedrooms, 2-bathrooms. Second Floor is 1,669 square feet with 2-bedrooms, 2-bathrooms.

Upon entering the first-floor grand foyer, you will notice the restored original wood floors and sparkling crystal chandeliers. To the left is the parlor which features floor to ceiling windows, a fireplace, crystal chandelier, and large wooden pocket doors. Another ornate wood detail above the threshold of the room brings you into the dining room, perfect for hosting dinner parties! The dining room also features floor to ceiling windows, a fireplace, and large, wooden pocket doors.

Next, you will enter the breakfast area and living room. This space has its own entry from the porch, a fireplace, and a wall of beautiful stained-glass windows. The first-floor kitchen space is to the rear of the home with an attached utility room and its own entry from the porch. The kitchen is a nice size with stainless appliances (2019), large windows allowing lots of natural light, and a wet bar. To the right of the foyer is 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms.

The front bedroom, just to the right of the main entry, is currently being used as an office space. The second, middle bedroom is currently being used as the primary bedroom and has a large wall of stained-glass windows. This bedroom has an attached bathroom that has recently been renovated; this bathroom can also be accessed from the foyer. The third bedroom is to the rear of the home; you enter this area through a set of interior French Doors to the back of the Foyer; it has its own attached bathroom. All bedrooms are a nice size, with soaring ceilings.

To enter the second-floor, there are two private exterior staircases; one to the side of the wrap around porch, the other to the rear of the home. (There is no interior staircase that leads to the second floor) The second-floor features 2-bedrooms with fireplaces & 2-full ensuite bathrooms, a full kitchen with breakfast area, a dining room, living room, utility space, and private balcony overlooking Adams Street. This space would be perfect for a Mother-in-Law Suite, Guest Space, Office, or a Short/Long Term Rental – the options are endless.

Franklin is a beautiful, charming town with so many wonderful places to visit. This home is walking distance to the Bayou Teche, Franklin’s downtown/Main Street, boutiques/restaurants, beautiful homes & churches, and so much more. Here is your chance to own your very own piece of History!
