Property Description
Welcome to Verdant Muse at 81 Center Street, a captivating Italianate Revival residence on 3.6 acres in historic Franklin, where architectural beauty, artistry, and imagination meet.
Ornate brackets, a charming second-story balcony, graceful arched windows, and beautiful wood floors recall another era. Inside, four bedrooms and distinctive living spaces unfold, each with its own personality. A grand upper-level sitting room, currently used as a bedroom, features a sweeping archway, tall windows, and abundant natural light. A spiral staircase leads to a tucked-away room ideal for an artist's studio, writing retreat, or private office, while a cozy library nook with built-in shelves invites you to lose yourself in a favorite book.
Much of the wallpaper has been removed, offering an opportunity to restore and reimagine these storied spaces. Fireplaces lend warmth and character, while an unfinished attic accessed through the green bedroom provides storage and possibilities for the future.
Beyond the residence, a spacious covered porch invites unhurried mornings. A greenhouse with an adjoining workshop-like space invites the gardener, painter, or maker to find inspiration in every season. The detached four-car garage offers generous space for vehicles, hobbies, and collections, with a loft above that once served as a bookstore. Old livestock stanchions hint at the property's working past.
Set in the picturesque western Catskills, Verdant Muse offers the breathing room of an Upstate retreat and the charm of village life. For the artist, dreamer, or preservationist, this is a place with a past worth honoring and a future waiting to unfold.
Perhaps its next chapter is yours.
