The iconic Saunders-Marshall-Wright House is the original brick home in Historic Downtown Franklin and dates to 1805. It is prominently located on prestigious 3rd Avenue South and is only one block from the town square. This stately home was extraordinarily well-constructed by master craftsmen to stand the test of time and it certainly has for the past 220 years while becoming even more beautiful and refined. The Federal-style home opens to a stunning foyer featuring 12 ft. soaring ceilings and an elegant handcrafted stair case with original poplar steps and oak railing. Original 1” thick tongue-in-groove ash floors grace the interior which was fully renovated by Tallman Enterprises and includes: Primary-on-the-main with luxurious ensuite featuring a heated Carrera marble floor, bidet, large air jet soaking tub, spacious walk-in marble shower with heated towel bar, custom walnut vanity and cabinets, and custom designed walk-in closet. The open and naturally lit chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, subzero refrigerator, Dacor six burner gas range, warming drawer, and new wall oven and dishwasher. The home also features a spacious 28x21’ den with an impressive stone wood-burning fireplace (2016), an attached 2.5 car garage includes additional storage and private driveway (replaced 2025), separate fully renovated (2021) walk-in guest house with complete kitchen and attached garage. A beach-entry L-shaped swimming pool (2013) compliments beautifully landscaped front, side and backyards which include fountains and a charming traditional English garden. The home has seven fireplaces and is handicap-accessible. GUEST HOUSE NOT INCLUDED IN SQUARE FOOTAGE.
