Why this home stands out
What sets 100 Crescent Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage — 2,012 finished feet — and three full bathrooms in a market where that third bath is often hard to find at this size. Built in 1992, the home carries the structural bones of that era: real framing, real lot space, and a layout designed for actual daily living rather than visual flash. That balance of space, function, and location is the story here.
HOLIKNOLL and the Franklin real estate market
Franklin, Virginia is a small city with a genuine sense of community — the kind of place where neighbors know each other and the pace of life feels intentional rather than rushed. Crescent Drive sits within a residential pocket that reflects that character: established homes, mature trees, and streets that feel lived-in rather than newly minted. Franklin is the county seat of Southampton County, which means local government, services, and infrastructure are all close at hand. The city straddles the Blackwater River, giving it natural beauty alongside its small-town practicality. For buyers comparing Franklin, Virginia homes for sale, the value proposition here is real: you get meaningful square footage, a walkable neighborhood core, and access to a community that punches above its size in terms of local amenities, parks, and civic life — without the congestion or price pressure of the larger Hampton Roads metro.
