Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

With four bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath spread across more than 2,500 square feet, 131 Bobwhite Lane gives households genuine room to grow without sacrificing a manageable footprint. The 1989 build places it in an era of solid construction — substantial enough to feel established, recent enough to avoid the major mechanical overhauls that older homes often demand. It's a practical, right-sized home in a low-traffic residential setting.

HUNTERDALE and the Franklin real estate market

Franklin is a small independent city tucked along the Blackwater River in southeastern Virginia, and Bobwhite Lane reflects the quieter, tree-lined character that defines residential life here. Streets in this part of Franklin tend to attract buyers who want space and calm without the sprawl of a larger metro — the kind of place where neighbors recognize each other and the pace feels genuinely unhurried. The city itself punches above its size when it comes to community infrastructure: a downtown core, local parks, and a YMCA within less than a mile of this address. Southampton County surrounds the city limits, giving the broader area a rural backdrop while Franklin's city services keep daily life convenient. For buyers comparing Franklin, Virginia homes for sale, the combination of square footage, lot character, and proximity to local amenities here is worth a close look.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy from Bobwhite Lane. Blackwater Park is just 0.6 miles away — a natural anchor for morning walks or weekend afternoons outdoors. Hungry? Hangar 54 Pizza, Champs Chicken, and The Back Porch & Grille are all within 0.7 miles, giving you a solid rotation of casual dining without a long drive. The James L. Camp Jr. Family YMCA is also 0.7 miles out, making it realistic to build a consistent fitness routine. Everything you need for a comfortable daily rhythm is genuinely close.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

For families upgrading

Four bedrooms and three and a half baths across 2,574 square feet means everyone gets their own space — and then some.
