About this property

Historic Home in Downtown Franklin - Walk to ALL the Charm & Convenience

A unique opportunity to rent a beautifully renovated, Victorian on W Main street in downtown Franklin. The "Rhodes-House" home is on the National Register of Historic Places and 2 blocks from all of the attractions! Stroll to all the charm!

Franklin is considered the number one small town in Tennessee and also made the top 10 on Southern Living’s ‘Best Small Town’ list. Experience this sweet community and southern hospitality, while enjoying the history, upscale shopping, dining and live entertainment…all just a leisurely stroll down Main Street...with Sweet CeCe's Yogart and Starbucks being your first two stops.

This home is ideal for a romantic escape, in-town vacation, weekend with friends, wedding party or vacation for the whole family. Our home has also been utilized for photo and video shoots, so let your imagination run wild! If you are a fan of Brownland Farm, we are also conveniently located within a couple of miles. Our home is also on every major parade route, so be sure and check into Franklin festivals and parades.

The house features twelve foot ceilings, four bedrooms and two baths with over 2600 sq ft of living space and 4 fireplaces. The kitchen is stocked with all of your everyday needs and includes an enormous pantry and fully equipped laundry room.

At the end of the day, relax on the patio in the private backyard or enjoy the people watching on the front porch swing. The home includes a 50” HDTV for your entertainment enjoyment and a unique collection of vinyl records for your listening pleasure.

The home sits on a rare and level double lot and is professionally landscaped. There is a 2 car garage and private driveway in the rear with additional street parking in the front. A Weber gas grill is also available during the spring, summer and fall. There are 4 bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens, 1 double/full). An optional inflatable queen bed will allow for two additional guests.

This house is truly a gem and has a character all it's own...we look forward to sharing it with you.
