Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

Built in 1928, 400 S High Street brings nearly a century of character to Franklin, Virginia — four bedrooms, two baths, and 2,120 square feet of classic craftsmanship on a walkable block just steps from the Blackwater River and downtown Franklin's everyday essentials.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 400 S High Street apart is the combination of pre-Depression-era architecture and genuine walkability that's hard to find in Southampton County. You're a short stroll from Barrett's Landing Park and the City of Franklin Riverwalk, yet the home itself carries the kind of solid bones — thick walls, real woodwork, a floor plan that actually breathes — that newer construction rarely replicates. Four bedrooms across 2,120 square feet gives everyone room to spread out.

ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market

South High Street sits in the heart of Franklin, a small independent city tucked along the Blackwater River in southeastern Virginia. The blocks here have a settled, tree-lined feel that comes from a century of continuous neighborhood life — front porches, mature hardwoods, and sidewalks that actually connect you somewhere. Franklin punches above its size: a walkable downtown, a genuine arts community, and a riverfront that draws kayakers and strollers alike. Southampton County surrounds the city, giving the broader area a rural character while Franklin itself keeps things convenient. Buyers comparing Franklin homes for sale often find the city's scale refreshing — small enough that neighbors know each other, large enough to have real amenities. The Blackwater River corridor is a genuine asset, and the proximity to US-58 makes the drive west toward Suffolk or east toward the coast straightforward.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy from 400 S High Street. Franklin Recreation Department and Barrett's Landing Park are both about four-tenths of a mile away — close enough for an evening walk or a Saturday morning with the kids. The City of Franklin Riverwalk Park Kayak Launch is under a mile, making the Blackwater River genuinely accessible. Fred's Restaurant and Serve are each about half a mile for a quick meal, and Hardee's is just around the corner at 0.6 miles. StoreHouse Coffee and The Lighthouse Project both sit within 0.7 miles for your morning routine. Los Cerezos Latino Store handles grocery runs at 0.7 miles, and TaylorMade Fitness VA is under a mile when you're ready to work out.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk is roughly 38 minutes from 400 S High Street — a manageable commute that keeps housing costs well below the Hampton Roads metro. A VA loan can make a home with this much square footage and this much history surprisingly attainable, and Franklin's low-traffic streets and tight-knit community are a genuine draw for families who've lived on busy installation corridors before.

For buyers drawn to character

If you've been scrolling past subdivision after subdivision and wondering where the real houses went, 400 S High Street is your answer. Built in 1928, this four-bedroom home carries nearly a century of architectural integrity — the kind of craftsmanship that shows up in the details rather than the staging. Franklin's historic streetscape and riverfront setting make it a rare find for buyers who want a home with an actual story.
