Whether you need dedicated sleeping areas, a workspace for working from home, a workout area, or simply want extra room for your belongings, the layout gives you options.

A Kitchen You'll Actually Want to Spend Time In

One of the highlights of the home is its very large kitchen. There is abundant cabinet and storage space, giving you plenty of room for pots, pans, dishes, cookware, appliances, and all the other things that tend to make a kitchen feel crowded. Instead of constantly trying to figure out where everything goes, you'll have the storage space you need to keep your kitchen organized and functional. The kitchen has also been outfitted with brand-new GE appliances, bringing a fresh, modern feel to one of the most important areas of the home.

The appliance package includes:

Whether you enjoy cooking elaborate meals or simply appreciate having a kitchen that is spacious, well-equipped, and easy to organize, this kitchen is one of the home's standout features.

Flexible Laundry & Workspace

The laundry room is another area where this home provides more usable space than you might expect.

The room includes a washer and dryer and has substantial additional space for managing clothing, laundry supplies, linens, and household items.

There is even enough room to potentially create a small office or workspace, making it particularly useful for someone who works from home, needs a dedicated study area, or simply wants an additional functional space.

Instead of being an afterthought, the laundry room provides practical space that can serve multiple purposes.

Storage That Goes Beyond the Ordinary

Storage is often one of the biggest challenges when renting a home, but this property offers an unusual advantage.

Attached to the home is a large walk-in storage area with access from both inside the house and outside.

Having both interior and exterior access makes this space especially convenient. It can be used for storing seasonal decorations, tools, outdoor equipment, bicycles, hobby supplies, household items, or other belongings that you don't necessarily want taking up space inside the living areas.

The additional storage helps keep the home organized while giving you easy access to things you may need throughout the year.

Natural Light Throughout the Home

The many windows throughout the property provide an abundance of natural light, helping the home feel open, bright, and inviting.

Natural light can make a tremendous difference in how a home feels, and the windows provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy daylight throughout the house.

Combined with the home's practical layout, the result is a home that feels comfortable and lived-in rather than cramped or closed off.

Your Private Outdoor Retreat

One of the most special features of this property is the fully fenced backyard. For tenants with pets, the fenced yard provides an excellent place for dogs to safely enjoy outdoor time and gives you a private outdoor area to enjoy without leaving home. But this isn't simply an empty patch of grass. The backyard has been developed into a unique outdoor environment featuring water, plants, gardens, walking areas, entertaining spaces, and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors.

An Approximately 1,800-Gallon Koi Pond

At the heart of the backyard is an approximately 1,800-gallon in-ground fish pond with a small waterfall.

The pond is home to more than 50 fish, including:

  • Koi

  • Butterfly koi

  • Comets

  • Goldfish

The combination of moving water, colorful fish, and surrounding greenery creates a peaceful focal point in the backyard. The surrounding plant life also helps create a natural environment that attracts turtles, frogs, butterflies, birds, and other wildlife, making the backyard feel like its own little ecosystem. It is the type of outdoor feature that you can enjoy while sitting on the porch, having dinner outside, relaxing after work, or simply spending a quiet afternoon at home.

Space to Garden

If you enjoy gardening, the backyard provides a designated area where you can create a small personal garden.

Tenants are welcome to plant what they please within the designated garden space, giving you an opportunity to grow flowers, herbs, vegetables, or other plants that fit your interests.

It is a great way to make the backyard feel like your own and add a personal touch to the property.

Your Own Berry Garden

The property also includes a separate berry garden featuring:

  • Grapes

  • Blackberries

  • Raspberries

For someone who enjoys gardening, fresh fruit, or simply having something growing around the property, this is a particularly fun feature.

The berry garden adds another layer of character to the backyard and provides seasonal interest throughout the year.

Outdoor Entertaining & Relaxation

The backyard also includes a walking path, a designated area for an outdoor grill, and a fire pit. There is plenty of room for outdoor furniture, allowing you to create an outdoor living area where you can sit, dine, entertain friends, or relax around the fire. Whether your idea of enjoying the backyard is grilling dinner, sitting around the fire, watching the fish, gardening, playing with your pets, or simply enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, there is room to do it.

A Second Pond

There is also a separate secondary pond that is used as a drop tank for the fish. This pond has its own small fountain and features water lilies growing inside, adding another peaceful water feature to the backyard. Together, the ponds, landscaping, gardens, fish, and wildlife make the backyard much more than a typical rental yard.

Enjoy the View from the Screened-In Back Porch

Overlooking the backyard is a large screened-in back porch. This provides an ideal place to enjoy the outdoor space while having the comfort of being protected from insects and the elements. From the porch, you can look out over the koi pond, gardens, landscaping, and backyard while enjoying your morning coffee, reading a book, working on a laptop, or relaxing in the evening. The screened porch essentially creates another living area — one that lets you enjoy the backyard without having to sit directly outside.

Additional Storage Buildings

Toward the rear of the property are two additional outbuildings that are available for the tenant's use as storage. These provide even more room for items that you may not want taking up space inside the house, such as outdoor equipment, tools, seasonal items, recreational equipment, or other belongings. Between the home's large walk-in storage area and the two additional outbuildings, there is an abundance of storage potential throughout the property.

A Home with Room to Make It Your Own

What makes 1317 N Franklin St different is the combination of comfortable indoor living and an unusually detailed outdoor space.

Inside, you have a spacious kitchen with brand-new GE appliances, flexible rooms, plenty of windows and natural light, a large laundry room, and substantial storage.

Outside, you have a fully fenced yard, mature plant life, gardens, two ponds, more than 50 fish, a waterfall, a fire pit, grilling space, a walking path, additional storage buildings, and a large screened-in porch overlooking it all.

For a tenant who enjoys spending time at home, having outdoor space, keeping pets, gardening, entertaining, or simply having somewhere peaceful to unwind, this property offers something genuinely different from the typical rental home.

Come Home to Something Special

“I believe in long-term homes, not short-term turnover.”

I don’t provide homes simply for profit. I believe a home is where families work hard, grow together, celebrate milestones, and create the memories and stories they’ll carry with them for a lifetime.

That’s why I take pride in providing homes that are clean, comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I believe the people who live in them deserve a good place to call home — and the opportunity to feel settled there for years to come.

To me, being a landlord is about more than collecting rent. I would rather have a responsible, honest tenant who pays on time and takes pride in their home than make an extra dollar. A good landlord-tenant relationship is built on trust, respect, communication, and doing the right thing for one another.

I believe in long-term homes, not short-term turnover. When a family finds a place they love and wants to stay, grow, and build their life there, that matters to me.

Because a home isn’t just an investment. It’s where birthdays are celebrated, children grow up, family dinners happen, difficult days are overcome, and stories are made.

My goal is simple: to care for the home, so the families living there can focus on building their lives within it.
