Welcome to 13 Rowell Drive, just a short walk from downtown Franklin, and the beautiful Mill City trails and white water park. The location offers an easy commute to I-93 and plenty of local restaurants and breweries. This three-bedroom ranch lives larger than it looks, with an open concept living area. The tax card states a three-bedroom property; however, the existing floor plan shows four rooms, with one converted to an oversize laundry room. Depending on your needs, the space offers flexibility for laundry, an office, hobby room, or potentially conversion back into a bedroom. This home has also been fully rewired with new recessed lighting and an upgrade to a 200 amp service. Off the kitchen/living room area is a large primary bedroom featuring built-in shelving and a door to your own private outdoor nook. A deck is right off the kitchen and overlooks private backyard. Outside, a newly installed walkway and added flower beds creates a welcoming approach to the home. Around back you are met with a generous backyard with a covered, concrete patio. A second driveway at the end of North Sulloway street leads to additional parking and a one car garage. All your living space is on one floor, but should you need more space, the walkout basement is perfect to expand! The owners have installed a chairlift leading to the basement/garage. The basement has been completely gutted and is a blank canvas with so much potential. The current owners had plans drawn up with the intention of an in-law living space and will make those plans available to the buyer. The buyer should perform their own due diligence regarding future basement uses and permitting. 13 Rowell Drive offers easy, one-level living with plenty of possibilities to create a home that fits your needs!

1 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths ⋅ 5112235 MLS

This house was built in 1830, and accordingly has need for some updating. It has the kinds of quirks you would expect from such an old home- sloping floors, low ceilings. This is a fixer-upper. If a quaint home with potential, (and 2 acres of land land) appeals to you, this could be your dream home. It is located in a country setting, but only a roughly 5 minute ride from Franklin's up and coming downtown, and seven miles from I-93, and less than an hour from the lakes and mountains. The house comes with a propane kitchen stove, and a refrigerator. Some of the issues you will encounter: the owner estimates that it has a 75 amp fuse box. The roof was re-shingled 38 years ago. The septic has never had an issue yet, but it is pre-1988. The windows are very old, wood framed, single paned. There is insulation in the attic, and cellulose insulation in the living room and kitchen. The house is very old, and has some interesting quirks, but it has been in decent shape for the current renter (who is scheduled to move out in the next week or so). There is city water, and trash collection, high speed internet.
