Look, we get it. It needs a paint job and dose of TLC. Yeah, it is across from the Howell Train Yards, we know. Not used to blunt honesty? Time for honesty: what kid doesn't grow up loving trains? Hardly anything is more Americana than A. trains, B. this American Four Square architectural style right here with a sweet original wooden front door and exposed rafter tails with gracious curves to them, and a recessed covered porch. You want a fixer upper? I'll show you a fixer upper - one where you can sit on your porch and watch the mobile graffiti art show on the side of train cars, one close to Howell Wetlands and public pool and water slide, the Daniel Wertz grade school and soccer field, and more. This house is like one of those houses on that train set you've always wanted to build - except it's in real life and you can fix it up and live in it. So get your hammer and your tool belt and your steel toed shoes and come be a part of the Howell neighborhood revitalization and enjoy classic architecture, affordability, and close proximity to parks, downtown just around the river bend, 4th of July fireworks watching from your front yard, and the thriving West Franklin cultural district close by as well. Check it out! Warning: This house may cause a love-hate relationship with HGTV.
