How things have changed in the past 2-3 years. It used to be that buyers snapped up homes in brand new developments and watched their values pop up while homes sprung up around them. Now brand new developments are a bit scary for custom built homes or higher end homes in ndew developments. Keystone in Franklin was developed in the late 1990’s and most homes built right before the big boom. As a result, the development was completed and with low turnover, very few homes were purchased at market peak. With very few distressed home sales, values have remained steady, yet the overall price point is still an excellant value.

Rare Find in Keystone
Example: 1716 Masters Drive, Franklin, TN 37064 in Keystone is listed for $625,000. What do you get for this price? Nearly one acre level lot that is fully irrigated, oversized 4-car garage, 4,722 square feet, a covered patio, large kitchen with stainless appliances, tile baths, sand/finish hardwood floors, TWO laundry rooms, 4 bedrooms with a master suite on the main level and a large recreation room. The list goes on with a two story family room, office/formal living room, stone fireplace and two story foyer. See the photos and more at www.FranklinElite.com

Just Add Friends, Grill and Good Times!
Compare this to other developments and don’t forget that Keystone is zoned for the highly sought after Oakview Elementary and Williamson County Schools plus has a community pool and brand new pavilion and Keystone is the place to be. It is located just 5 miles from downtown Franklin, TN and just 12 minutes from Cool Springs.
