Property Description
Discover the timeless elegance of Magnolia Hall, a spectacular Southern-style home located at 302 Main St. in the heart of Franklin, Louisiana's historic district. This 4,432 sq. ft. masterpiece invites you into its five-bedroom, four full and two half-bath layout, brilliantly designed over three floors, including a mother-in-law suite on the basement level and 2,000 sq ft open storage area. Built in 1967, this home replicates the grandeur of the Lansdowne Plantation, featuring architectural details such as solid oak flooring, granite countertops, original wooden pocket doors, and Italian marble fireplaces now updated with gas. A recent refresh includes new paint, renovated master baths, and 44 lifetime insulated windows fitted with new aluminum hurricane shutters. See attached document with detailed list of all upgrades. The home's design is capped by a durable slate roof and complemented by lush Southern landscaping, new irrigation system with mature trees offering shade and views of the Bayou from the rear yard. Modern conveniences include three-car garage/shop with new overhead door and rear yard access, a new 24KW Generac generator, and a greenhouse equipped with utilities-currently used as outdoor kitchen. Located within two hours of New Orleans and an hour from Lafayette, this exquisite property not only offers a serene lifestyle but also accessibility to city amenities. This beauty's harmonious blend of historical charm and modern luxury is ready to welcome you home! No previous flooding and no flood insurance required.
