Why this home stands out
New construction in an established city is a rare find, and 572 Laurel Street delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, everything here is factory-fresh — systems, finishes, fixtures, all of it. You're not inheriting someone else's choices or deferred maintenance. Add in a half-bath for guests, three true bedrooms, and a footprint that's efficient without feeling cramped, and this address stands apart from the older housing stock that dominates Franklin's market.
