Welcome to this beautiful 1805 home located in the heart of Historic Downtown Franklin. This stately brick home was one of Franklin’s first residences. The estate sits on over a half acre. The back yard is fenced for privacy and enjoyment of the multiple outdoor living areas. It is prominently located on prestigious 3rd Avenue South and is only one block from the Franklin Tennessee town square. This stately home was extraordinarily well-constructed by master craftsmen to stand the test of time and it certainly has for the past 221 years while becoming even more beautiful and refined. The Federal-style home opens to a stunning foyer featuring 12 ft. soaring ceilings and an elegant handcrafted stair case with original poplar steps and oak railing. Original 1” thick tongue-in-groove ash floors grace the interior which was fully renovated by Tallman Enterprises and includes: Primary-on-the-main with luxurious ensuite. The open and naturally lit chef’s kitchen. The home also features a spacious 28x21’ den with an impressive stone wood-burning fireplace, an attached 2.5 car garage including additional storage and new private driveway, separate walk-in guest house with complete kitchen and attached garage. GUEST HOUSE NOT INCLUDED IN SQUARE FOOTAGE. Ideally suited for multigeneration living or income-producing. A beach-entry L-shaped swimming pool compliments beautifully landscaped front, side and backyards which include fountains and a charming traditional English garden. This is an exceptional opportunity to purchase a grand estate property just one block from Main Street in one of Franklin’s most cherished locations. Proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this is a signature residence in Historic Downtown Franklin. Welcome to the iconic Saunders-Marshall-Wright House.
