Why this home stands out

Built in 2009, this home brings relatively modern construction to a city where older housing stock is the norm. At 1,440 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths, the layout gives everyone their own space without the upkeep burden of a much larger footprint. Franklin's modest size means you're genuinely close to everything — and 205 Artis Street puts you right in the middle of that convenience.

ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market

Downtown Franklin is compact and walkable, with a mix of local restaurants, civic spaces, and parks within easy reach of 205 Artis Street.
