638 Windy Poplar Road, Franklin, NC 28734

Nestled in a quiet cove with breathtaking pastoral views, you'll find this charming farmhouse with an inviting rocking chair front porch beautifully situated under gorgeous shade trees. The owners have lovingly cared for this property for many years, and it shows.

It's been said that age is just a number, and this is evident when you walk through the doors of this quaint home. The current owners did extensive work to the home when it was purchased in 1992 including the addition of the front porch, refurbishing the kitchen, and work to the flooring base.

In 1994, the screened gazebo was added, and a metal roof was installed in 2016. You'll be tempted to wile away the hours on the porch or inside the screened gazebo, but with two ponds on the property, this land is also ripe for farm or pasture use. Inside the house, a wood burning fireplace will warm you when the temperatures start to fall.

The ambiance of this home will transport you to simpler times but with modern-day conveniences (the refrigerator, washer, and water heater are new). The seller has updated the electrical system, and there is a brand new 3 bedroom septic system that has just been installed.

Above the house is a 30 x 40 powered workshop/garage which offers unlimited options for use.....and it's being completely refurbished! A recent fire affected the interior; ServPro is doing a remediation and renovation, so the inside will all be brand new.

The property comes alive in spring and summer with hydrangeas, dahlias, dogwood trees, Rose of Sharon, and a magnolia. The splendor of fall is evident in the October Glory maple which shows off once the cool weather comes and leaves start their transition to autumn.

Need to work from home? Fiber optic is available through Frontier. There is a graded house site for anyone looking to build something new and other potential house sites if a family compound sounds attractive. This listing includes two parcels: house and 3.95 acres; 8.74 acres.

To protect the integrity of the property, the deed at closing will include these restrictions: "1. No untagged vehicles; 2. No commercial activity; 3. No livestock except horses, cows, and chickens." Properties like this don't come along every day.....take a look for yourself! You may just find home!
