Welcome to 165 Franklin Rd, a charming Cape Cod home that balances serene country living with the convenience of nearby city amenities. With its beautifully remodeled interior, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and thoughtful features like a wood stove for supplemental heat, this property is ready to welcome its next owner. The first floor master bedroom with cedar closet, first floor luxury bath to include a jacuzzi, further add to its charm and practicality. The .69-acre lot, overlooking rolling pastures, seems perfect for those who appreciate nature and wildlife, such as the occasional sightings of turkey, fox, deer, many exquisitely colored songbirds, and birds of prey to include bald eagles!! Springtime will bring many wonderful surprises in the form of an established matrix of plantings to include Dogwoods, Azaleas, Japanese Maple, as well as many gorgeous wildflower varieties. Its proximity to Rt 30, Rt 462, Downtown Lancaster, and the Susquehanna River makes it a fantastic spot for anyone who values both outdoor recreation and easy access to shopping and dining. A truly special property with plenty of potential! Schedule a showing today!
