A historic town known for its slower pace of life, bucolic backdrop and endless charm, Franklin embodies comfortable living. Located near the Harpeth River and Old Natchez Trace, a Franklin residence sits on 23 acres of Tennessee countryside. “This Franklin, Tennessee, location is so convenient to downtown Franklin and popular Leiper’s Fork, and it is only 15 minutes to Green Hills. It feels like you are off the beaten path and out in the country, but still, only a couple of minutes to Grassland Schools/Franklin High School, a local coffee shop and so much more,” say Fridrich & Clark Realty Realtor Christy Reed of the location.
The expansive property features a 10,000-square-foot home, pool, guest house and a carriage house with a six-car garage that can house 8-10 cars and includes a finished office/guest quarters. Additionally, there’s a 10-stall barn with a basketball court above it and a Morton agricultural building for equipment on one side with a heated and cooled studio on the other side. With amenities like that, you’ll never have to leave. But thankfully, the property is only a short drive to downtown Franklin and Green Hills. Take a closer look at the luxurious amenities of this country estate.
This view, from the back of the property, showcases all this estate has to offer — including stunning views.
Framed by mature trees, the home and carriage house with a six-car garage and guest quarters greet visitors to the property.
The traditional 10,000-square-foot main home is stunning, with traditional architecture and thoughtful design.
Grand architectural elements define the character of this traditional design, with an open front porch and stately columns. Within the home’s 10,000 square feet, the elegance continues. Christy tells us, “This property is so unique with a beautiful main house that is very traditional but also has all the bells and whistles.” On the main floor, a cozy living room, wonderful family room, gallery/music room, screening room and fabulous library provide space for the family to gather and unwind. Entertaining takes place in the separate dining room and eat-in kitchen. Upstairs, the home’s four bedrooms, each of which have ensuite baths, are designed to ensure relaxation and privacy. The spacious master suite features a coffee/wet bar area with small refrigerator, microwave and built-in cappuccino maker, and double French doors open to a covered balcony overlooking this wonderful property. The master bathroom exudes a spa-like feel with heated marble floors, an infinity edge tub and separate steam shower.
The parlor offers an elegant entry and sitting area, and the sweeping staircase opens to the second floor, where the master suite and an additional bedroom suite are located.
The gallery/music room features a soaring ceiling as well as a wood-burning fireplace, creating a great space for entertaining.
Outfitted with rich mahogany walls and coffered ceiling, this library is so cozy and bright. Notable features include a gas log fireplace, large windows overlooking the property and double French doors that lead to a covered porch.
Seven fireplaces are found throughout the home. The brick fireplace in this dining area warms the space and creates interest in the design.

Off the kitchen, a back stairway leads upstairs.
The spacious family room is an inviting space with plenty of natural light pouring in. Hardwood floors and another stone fireplace add to the warmth of this gathering area.

The spacious master suite features beautiful hardwood floors, a large master closet with built-ins, coffee bar and two sets of French doors that lead to a covered porch overlooking the property.

The 10-stall barn is unique in its finishes and amenities, but perhaps the most exciting feature is the full basketball court above the barn.
The pool/guest house is every bit as elegant as the main home!
