About This Home

249 Center Street

Where Timeless Elegance Meets Contemporary Comfort. Welcome to this stunning six-bedroom Victorian, ideally located just one street back from Main Street in the heart of the Franklin Village Historic District. This peaceful, tree-lined street offers walkable access to shops, cafes and the weekly Farmers Market in one of the Catskills’ most charming villages. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with 10-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, and two expansive living rooms full of warmth, character, and historic craftsmanship. Sunlight pours in through oversized original windows, highlighting intricate woodwork and period details that have been lovingly preserved. Both living spaces offer direct access to a wraparound porch. The formal dining room connects to a modern chef’s kitchen with updated appliances and generous counter space. A twin bedroom, full bath and laundry are also located on the main level - perfect for guests or multi-generational living. Ascend either of the two original staircases to the second floor, where you'll find five spacious bedrooms, including two king-sized primary suites with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. Original stained glass windows add a touch of artistry and history to the upper level. A full bathroom with a soaking tub completes the upstairs layout. Out back, enjoy a large yard ideal for barbecues, gardening, or quiet mornings. This home is also a proven short-term rental, generating a strong rental income thanks to its spacious layout and proximity to Cooperstown and Oneonta baseball events. It’s a turnkey investment or the perfect weekend retreat. Located just 15 minutes from Oneonta and under 3 hours to the GW Bridge, with its blend of historic elegance, modern updates, and solid rental history, this home is truly one of Franklin's most exceptional properties. OPEN HOUSE: Sunday 6/8, 1-4pm.
