Spacious while still warm and inviting, this beautiful Franklin Blvd masionete captures the same Victorian luxury when it was built in 1874 by HW and Agnes Murray, who sold it in 1923 to William and Theresa Roberts. The Roberts family were the longest owners of record. until Theresa Roberts sold her home of 47 yrs. Now a century later and after 18 yrs, its owners have decided to downsize and let new owners enjoy this unique piece of history. Featuring character not found in new homes, 5005 Franklin has soaring ceilings, extra-wide woodwork, handsome plaster crown molding and awesome stained glass windows. A grand staircase turns a full 180 degrees from top to bottom. Four fireplaces (2 gas, 1 electric and1 that can accommodate a wood burner). Bay windows are 6' high. Currently the home has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms that could easily be converted to 4 or 5 bedrooms. Parlor, Library, and Foyer offer Cleveland history ties to the Hippodrome Theater and the former Convent at St Stan's Church. Current owners have added generous storage, rarely found in homes of this era. Prominently poised, much as it always has been, it is set in an ideal area between Ohio City and Gordon Square, welcoming new owners to partake in a special sense of neighborhood.
