Welcome to 908 West Main Street in historic downtown Franklin!
This magnificent 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home is the quintessential example of a historic home in charming Franklin.
Proudly sitting on a 1/2 acre lot and having a guest home and two detached garages, it's a rare and exciting offering here.
The stately original columns perfectly frame the sweeping front sitting porch and the entry with original double doors.
This is the perfect spot to visit with friends and family on a wonderful Tennessee afternoon.
The detail of the incredible trim work around the front door is just a testament to the workmanship that went into building this home in 1881.
The extra-wide entry hearkens back to the days when the entries welcomed family and visitors in a grand way.
Welcome home!
The original staircase is yet another proud feature which tips a hat to the past.
There are twin splendid parlors at the front of the home off the main hall.
Both are spacious and transport occupants back in time - comfortably.
Both parlor rooms had french door entries and fireplaces.
Like the east wing, many of the windows that adorn the walls still feature the original "wavy" glass.
The parlor rooms are spacious and beautiful. The marble surrounds on the fireplaces make a beautiful statement.
The hardwood floors, french door and detailed molding through the rooms make for a pleasing atmosphere in which to spend time.
In addition to the parlors, there's a separate den which also has a fireplace.
The den is also connected to the east parlor.
There's an attached serving bar - perfect for after dinner drink service.
The build-in cabinetry here also makes a beautiful statement.
The front sun room is a light-filled delight.
Three walls of windows and a floor of Italian tile with granite accents, it's a stunning feature of the home.
In addition to the sun room, there's a pleasant patio room on the home's western flank.
Just imagine starting your day with a cup of coffee in this perfect spot!
Whether serving smaller meals or feasts for many, the formal dining room can answer the call.
This cavernous space is perfectly situated adjacent to both the kitchen and the west parlor.
The generous kitchen has no shortage of storage space in the ample cabinetry.
The build-in shelving units flanking the door to the dining room allows for beautiful displays.
The kitchen has multiple storage opportunities - both open and behind doors.
The large gas range in the island is just a part of the functional layout here.
To the left of the kitchen is a spacious breakfast room.
There are two primary bedrooms in Mapledene - one on the main level and one on the second.
This room features two walls of windows for lots of natural light which creates a bright and airy atmosphere.
There's a large additional room here - which could be used as an office, exercise room or even a massive closet room by simply adding a wall.
Currently, this space is being utilized as a home office. The grass cloth covering the walls adds an upscale touch to the space.
Make your way up the grand staircase to the 4 additional bedrooms on the second level.
The second primary bedroom which is located on the second level features a fireplace with marble-clad surround.
You'll also find the warm glow of real hardwood floors here along with more original "wavy" glass windows.
There are two flex rooms on the upstairs western wing.
Both spaces are sizable and have lots of possibilities of how the new owner can utilize as a home office, work out room, media room or primary sitting den.
The choice is all yours here!
The additional upstairs bedrooms all have hardwood floors and two of them have beautiful fireplaces.
There are two more "flex" rooms adjacent to bedrooms on the upper level. This room is located on the front of the home with charming arched windows.
Notice the tall ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms as well!
Even the "smaller" upper level bedrooms are generous.
There's no shortage of options on how to configure your guest bedrooms on the upper level.
There are two full baths upstairs. This one is located in the western primary wing and features double vanities, a shower and separate tub.
This large bath also has direct access to a primary closet room..
The rear guest house is charming in it's own right. Notice the standing seam roof which fits the property perfectly.
This 544 sq ft space was designed for maximum use of those square feet!
There's a full kitchen here in addition to the living space.
The bedroom suite has an attached full bath and walk-through closet.
The backyard gazebo perfectly accents the backyard to the left of the rear guest home.
There are two detached garages. This one sits directly behind the home.
The park-like grounds upon which Mapledene sits are beautiful in their own right.
There's nothing like 908 W Main Street. Come see what makes it so incredible today.
