6040 E Southport Rd

This iconic home nestled on a hill in Franklin Township is ready for new owners for the first time in more than 50 years. Welcome guests through a formal front entry, or a large back entry through wrought iron double doors. The foyer offers multiple closets and hardwood floors, and leads to an efficient, main level, circular floorplan. The extra large living room, family room, eat-in kitchen, and adjoining sunroom provide versatility as they are, or enough space for a reimagined design. All four bedrooms are located upstairs including a massive primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and private sitting area. The three additional bedrooms are spacious, including two that offer multiple closets/built-in storage. A full bath on each level. Hardwood floors, fireplace mantel, and brick hearth in the kitchen are just a few of the charming features of this home. Outside find a large, two-car detached garage with loft providing even more storage space. Sitting on nearly 5 untouched acres, enjoy the tranquility of visiting deer or live out your city homesteading dreams and install gardens, fruit trees, start beekeeping, keep chickens, or whatever other dreams you might have - there's no HOA! While there is plenty of opportunity to bring new life to this home, the roof is brand new and replaced July 2025. Just minutes to shopping, restaurants, and I65.
