Why this home stands out
What sets 504 N High Street apart is the sheer volume of living space inside a century-old frame that still carries the proportions of early 20th-century craftsmanship — tall ceilings, generous room sizes, and a presence on the street that newer construction rarely replicates. Six bedrooms across 4,134 square feet means flexibility: home offices, guest quarters, hobby rooms, or simply the breathing room that larger households actually need.
ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market
Franklin, Virginia sits along the Blackwater River in Southampton County, and N High Street runs through one of the city's established residential corridors — the kind of block where mature trees line the sidewalks and houses have stories to tell. This is a walkable, human-scaled city where most daily errands happen within a mile or two of home. Franklin punches above its size for community character: a working downtown, a riverfront park system, and a tight-knit population that tends to stay. Southampton County surrounds the city, keeping the broader landscape rural and quiet, while the city itself offers the services and infrastructure you'd expect. For buyers comparing Franklin, Virginia homes for sale, the combination of historic housing stock, manageable city size, and easy highway access to Hampton Roads makes this address worth a close look.

For different buyers
For families upgrading

Franklin's small-city pace and walkable core make the day-to-day manageable, and a VA loan can make a home this size financially accessible for qualifying buyers.
For buyers drawn to character
If you've spent time scrolling past new construction wondering where the craftsmanship went, 504 N High Street is your answer.
