Some homes surprise you, and 204 School Street is one of them. Built in 1880, this Antique Colonial blends the character you'd hope for with the functionality buyers are looking for today. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a finished lower level offering space for a home office, playroom, gym, or guest area, this home lives far larger than you might expect.One of the standout features? A full bathroom on every level, something rarely found in a home of this era. Outside, the wraparound porch is the perfect spot for your morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day. You'll also love being just a short walk to Franklin's Town Common, downtown restaurants, shops, and Dean College, with minutes to the commuter rail and I-495 for an easy commute.The current owners have invested in meaningful updates, including improvements to the finished lower level, mudroom, second-floor bathroom updates, refreshed flooring, newer appliances, drainage improvements, and major mechanical updates including a high-efficiency furnace, water heater, and oil tank, all less than five years old. If you've been looking for an Antique Colonial with personality, flexible living space, and a location that's hard to beat, this is one you won't want to miss.
