It is with great pleasure (and some awe) that I introduce you to the "Geode House." Franklin is the gemstone capital of the world, and this custom home is truly its hidden gem. From the moment you turn onto the gentle, view-filled mountain road, the only sound you'll hear is the BOLD, rushing creek all the way up. The Geode House embraces 240 feet of creek frontage, heard from every room, and backs up to National Forest for privacy. The extraordinary glass surround sunroom overlooks the singing creek and the newly painted, and updated, deck invites you to watch hummingbirds and sip your morning coffee. This breathtaking 3 bed, 4 bath home reveals a spacious interior full of character, charm, and warmth. Custom hand built kitchen cabinets and vanities reflect the treasures found within a crystal geode. The bright, open layout offers a private, elegant space for hosting friends and family. The Geode House intertwines nature's tranquility with a master craftsman's creativity. Homes like this are truly once in a lifetime.
