This lovely house was built in 1911, making it over one hundred years old -- but after a little remodeling, this home looks brand new while still maintaining its original charm.
The street it is located on is the quintessential small-town neighborhood, located only a few minutes from downtown Franklin. The rows of houses nestled together along the street give a sense of community and that is something of high value here in Tennessee.
Inside you will find a beautifully redone kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. It’s hard to stay at this house and not want to make this lovely dwelling your own home. The whole place gives off a warm comfortable feel like you are in your own house, which is quite a feat in a rental!
I can easily see how many families have gathered in this one spot to share a meal or complete a puzzle. The cozy couches seem like the perfect place to find someone curled up reading a book and allowing the large windows to flood the room with natural light.
This rental house has three bedrooms and each one is fully equipped to be a quiet and relaxing place to rest your head at the end of the day. Because the property has been so well preserved it feels like you have stepped back in time. It reminds me of time spent at my grandmother's house and brings me back to that loved feeling you get when you are a child.
There are two full bathrooms in the house and those have also been fully updated. This property truly is the perfect marriage of history, modern amenities, and Southern charm, making for a wholly memorable stay.
Like any proper Southern home, there needs to be a porch -- and the upstairs balcony provides that outdoor space we all love here in Tennessee. Sip some sweet tea in the afternoon and watch the cars breeze by as you relax on the outside seating.
This historic vacation home rental in Franklin, Tennessee, has everything you need to enjoy this incredible Nashville suburb. Time and time again you will hear many people say how much they love Franklin — and with good reason. It is an amazing place to visit and an even better place to settle down. If you are looking for a place to really get the feel for this town, this home is just about perfect!
