Built circa 1885, the J. J. Jones House is one of the oldest homes on Hay Long Avenue and a contributing property in the National Register-listed Pleasant Historic District. The originals were saved and restored: fireplace tile and mantels, stained glass doors, the staircase, trim, hardwood floors, and the front porch railing and molding. The major improvements are DONE: 2-year-old roof, reinforced foundation, all new electric and lighting, new PEX and drain lines, new water heater, and two new HVAC units with all new ductwork, finished off with new tongue and groove pine ceilings on both porches. Step inside through a GRAND front foyer and you'll find HUGE rooms throughout. Don't like the wide open concept? This is for you! It's set up traditionally, with a main level bedroom complete with a full bathroom with a tile shower, marble floors, and a walk-in closet. The kitchen is completely custom, with nice built-ins and new stainless appliances, and right off the back door is a mudroom with custom shelving. Upstairs, the beautiful landing opens to a Juliet walkout balcony. The grand owner's suite has its own private fireplace and a stunning bathroom with marble floors, a freestanding tub, a tile shower, and a large walk-in closet, something you wouldn't expect in a home of this age. The owner approached this as a modern restoration, not a complete gut, and preserved as much as possible. We hope you'll see the beauty in the hard work. About an 8-minute walk to the Mount Pleasant Square, 20 minutes to the Columbia Square, and 50 minutes to downtown Franklin.
