    What the owner loves about this home
    Welcome to a peaceful, private retreat tucked into the trees of Franklin, NC. This dual-dwelling home offers two beautifully finished living spaces, each with its own unique charm and sense of serenity. The upper level is a spacious one-bedroom sanctuary with vaulted ceilings and large windows that look directly into the treetops and mountain ridges. The elevation creates a true “treehouse” feeling — private, airy, and filled with natural light. Most days, there’s no need to close the blinds. The view is nothing but nature. It’s a place where you instantly feel tucked away, safe, and at ease. The lower level has been fully updated and carries the same peaceful energy. It features two generous bedrooms — one with its own private exterior exit — along with a small office/laundry room that adds convenience and flexibility. The bathroom feels spa-like with its walk-in tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Every detail has been designed to create comfort and calm. Both levels include their own deck, offering outdoor space to relax, sip coffee, or enjoy the fresh mountain air. The backyard is a standout feature — expanded to nearly park-like dimensions with a steady creek running along the edge. A picnic bench sits beside the water, creating the perfect spot for quiet moments, reading, or enjoying a meal outdoors. It’s rare to find a yard that feels this peaceful and natural. Located in a safe, quiet neighborhood, this home offers privacy without sacrificing convenience. Whether you’re looking for a personal retreat, a multi-generational setup, or a turn-key investment property with proven mid-term rental demand, this home delivers a unique blend of comfort, beauty, and opportunity.
