Why this home stands out
What sets 104 Pine Ave apart is the combination of generous square footage and a mid-century build that gives the home real structural bones. At 1,881 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, there's room to spread out without the sprawl of a newer cookie-cutter floor plan. The 1964 construction era typically means thicker walls, larger rooms, and lot sizes that newer developments rarely match.
ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market
Franklin, Virginia is a small independent city in the western corner of Hampton Roads — the kind of place where neighbors still wave from the porch and the pace of life is noticeably slower than the region's busier corridors. Pine Ave sits within an established residential pocket of Franklin, where mature trees line the streets and the housing stock reflects decades of owner-occupied pride. The city straddles the Blackwater River and carries a quiet, working-community character that longtime residents genuinely value. Franklin homes for sale in this zip code — 23851 — tend to attract buyers who want space, stability, and lower price points without sacrificing proximity to the broader Hampton Roads region. Downtown Franklin is just minutes away, giving you access to local dining, city services, and community events. Southampton County surrounds the city, adding a rural backdrop that keeps the area from feeling crowded. If you're drawn to a home with history and a neighborhood with roots, Franklin delivers both.
