727 Franklin Road, Mars, Pa 16046

727 Franklin Road offers the rare combination of true one-level living and exceptional privacy within the Pine-Richland School District. Positioned on just over an acre of mature, tree-lined grounds and set well back from the road, this beautifully crafted brick ranch welcomes you with meticulous landscaping, a covered front entry, and arched windows announcing the architectural thoughtfulness found throughout. Lovingly maintained by its original owner, the home reflects a level of pride of ownership that is immediately apparent.

Step inside to soaring ceilings, expansive windows, timeless finishes, and a warm neutral color palette that create inviting living spaces designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining.

The formal living room is defined by two front-facing arched windows framing an uninterrupted canopy of green, a view that sets the tone for every room that follows. The adjacent dining room, with its tray ceiling and classic wainscoting, offers a timeless setting for entertaining.
The great room is anchored by a full-height herringbone brick fireplace with a wood mantel, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen and breakfast area where expansive glass frames views of the backyard and a sliding glass door opens directly onto the covered deck. Partially covered with overhead lighting and extending to an open-air dining area, the deck looks out over a private, wooded backyard enclosed by mature trees on all sides. Here, afternoons are naturally spent enjoying indoor-outdoor living.

Hardwood floors carry through the entry, dining room, and great room. The primary suite is a quiet retreat, with low, wide windows framing treetops and an en suite bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Each of the two additional bedrooms has its own full bath and window seat framed by wood detailing, a thoughtful touch that makes every room feel considered. A dedicated main-level laundry room adds to the ease of one-floor living.

The lower level, unfinished and full of possibility, spans the entire footprint of the home, includes windows, and walks out to the private backyard. Already plumbed for a full bath, it is ready to become whatever the next owner envisions. An attached three-car garage with a side entry and extra storage, along with a new roof (June 2024) and gutters complete this exceptional home.
