Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

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

At a glance

506 N High Street is a four-bedroom, two-bath Victorian-era home in Franklin, Virginia — over 2,300 square feet of character-rich living on a nearly quarter-acre lot, just blocks from the Blackwater River and the heart of a walkable small city.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Built in 1898, this 2,325-square-foot residence carries more than a century of craftsmanship that newer construction simply can't replicate. The lot gives you genuine outdoor space — 0.218 acres in a walkable urban setting — while four bedrooms and two full baths offer flexibility for families, remote workers, or anyone who wants room to grow without leaving the city grid.

ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market

Franklin, Virginia sits at the bend of the Blackwater River in Southampton County, and N High Street is one of the city's most storied corridors. The neighborhood here is classic small-city residential: mature tree canopy, sidewalks that actually get used, and a mix of historic homes that give the streetscape real personality. Franklin punches above its weight for a city of its size — a walkable downtown, a riverfront park system, and a tight-knit community that shows up for local events. The pace is unhurried without feeling sleepy. You're close enough to Suffolk, Chesapeake, and the broader Hampton Roads metro to access larger amenities, but day-to-day life in Franklin has its own self-contained rhythm that residents tend to appreciate deeply.

What's nearby

Daily errands and meals are easy from N High Street. Wydia's Seafood and Steakhouse is just 0.3 miles away — a solid local dinner option — and both Serve and Fred's Restaurant are within half a mile for casual meals. StoreHouse Coffee and The Lighthouse Project are each under a mile for your morning routine, and TaylorMade Fitness VA is only 0.2 miles away when you want to work out without a commute. Los Cerezos Latino Store and Dollar General handle quick grocery runs nearby. Barrett's Landing Park and the City of Franklin Riverwalk Park Kayak Launch are both under a mile, putting the Blackwater River practically in your backyard.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk is roughly 39 minutes from 506 N High Street — manageable for a PCS assignment, especially when a VA loan can make a century-old home with this much square footage and lot size genuinely attainable. Franklin's lower cost of living relative to the core Hampton Roads market gives military families real purchasing power without sacrificing commute practicality.

For buyers drawn to character

If you've grown tired of subdivisions where every house looks like the last, 506 N High Street is worth a serious look. An 1898 build means real architectural bones — proportions, details, and a sense of place that took generations to develop. Four bedrooms and 2,325 square feet give you the space to live comfortably while preserving everything that makes a home like this worth owning.
