Downtown Franklin is special… Especially if you live at Magnolia Hall. Currently under construction, the new neighborhood will be home to ten spectacular custom houses, designed to look like the 1900’s, but built with virtually every modern convenience. Every plan and every home allow you to live day to day all on one level — therefore, no steps up from your garage or to your front porch — providing age-in-place living at its finest. Every home is pre-approved by the Historic Zoning Commission so your construction can start as soon as possible. Every home has exclusive access to the Magnolia Hall grounds — including four-acres of landscaped scenery, a private pocket park with areas to sit and reflect, and a two-acre spring fed, fully stocked lake. All property outside the home that is visible from the street is maintained by the HOA, so you never have to worry about yard work again.

 

Through the vision of D9 along with construction by Gregg Homebuilding Company, Legend Homes and Thunder River Construction, the neighborhood will boast beauty as well as functionality. Here is a look at the designs planned for Magnolia Hall Franklin. Learn more about Magnolia Hall Franklin and the available lots at magnoliahallfranklin.com.
