Overview
This historic “three brick” building offers a mixed-use layout anchored by a former feed store storefront along Main Street, sharing a wall with LAVA Interiors. The interior is bright and open, with original wooden floors, 12-foot ceilings, and wainscotted walls. Downstairs includes 1,750 square feet with a half bath and kitchenette. The first level currently has no central heat. Upstairs features a one-bedroom apartment leased for $950 per month, warmed by propane/hot air heat, along with a large bright room rented as an art studio for $750 per month; the upstairs studio is unheated.
The property is located in Franklin’s historic arts village, positioned beside Kabinett & Kammer and Gary Graham422 and across from The Tulip and Rose restaurant. The seller has completed multiple exterior and building improvements, including a new electric panel, new apartment water heater, mold remediation, storefront paint and wall repair, repair of original storefront windows, and a new roof and gutters completed in 2021, with additional façade and deck work scheduled.
For an owner-operator or investor, the existing leasing structure provides multiple income streams while retaining space to tailor the unheated commercial areas to a new retail or creative use. The planned work list also references updates that may support future tenant comfort and accessibility, including adding heat to the storefront and art studio, updating the shared septic, adding a first-floor bathroom for the art studio tenant, and adding a side ramp and a rear deck.
