This old Victorian is poised for a new life. Set on a lovely side street in the historic, artsy village of Franklin, it's set up to be either a two family, or rambling single family home. Current owner did a lot of work to the first floor and lived in it, fixing the upstairs bath and a couple of rooms for a relative.

The house once had a wrap around porch with a side entrance, and those two entrances made it easy to convert it into an up and down two family. There's work to do upstairs - plaster and sheetrock in the halls and the kitchen, or removing the kitchen and opening up the main hall again to run from the front to the back stairs.

Two bedrooms down with a full, updated bath, plus a sun room and back kitchen/entertaining area.

Upstairs, currently set up as three bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and sun room with an updated bath. But both the living and dining rooms were once spacious bedrooms and still have the original closets. With the kitchen removed, the upstairs has five or six bedrooms plus that sun room.

And in the basement, not only is there a laundry room and workshop -- there's an office with a gas fireplace.

Outside, there's an oversized garage with a wood stove that is a mechanic's dream. There's even an hydraulic lift which may possibly be purchased separately.

Seller has done a lot, including new hot water heater, three year old furnace, ten year old septic, updated electric, whole house generator, new Trex side porch, vinyl siding, a one year old electric heat/air conditioning split duct unit in the back of the first floor to augment the wood stove.
