Why this home stands out
What sets 201 Robinhood Road apart is the sheer amount of living space packed into a mid-century single-family home. At 2,680 square feet, you get room to spread out in a way that smaller post-war builds rarely allow. The 1954 construction gives the home solid bones and a character that newer cookie-cutter builds simply can't replicate — and Franklin's unhurried pace of life wraps around it perfectly.
ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market
