411 E Green Street

Sold Oct 1, 2025
Sold for $11k more585 sq ft smaller$31 higher per sq ftFully updated vs. needs work

12 S Chavis Street offers significantly more square footage for a similar price point, but it requires a substantial renovation to match the move-in ready state of this home. This sold listing on Green Street was already updated with modern kitchens and four private ensuite bathrooms, which is a rare luxury. While the home for sale has a lower cost per foot, you would likely spend that savings on the repairs needed to reach this level of finish. It is a classic trade-off between buying more space to fix up versus buying a completed, smaller project.

Bottom line
If you are looking for a project with more square footage, 12 S Chavis Street is a solid option, but this sold home shows the premium buyers pay for completed renovations in Franklinton.

102 Whitaker Street

Sold Apr 28, 2025
Sold for $191k more494 sq ft larger$44 higher per sq ftFully restored Victorian vs. needs work

This property on Whitaker Street represents a fully restored historic gem where all the heavy lifting—plumbing, electrical, and foundation work—has already been completed. In contrast, 12 S Chavis Street is a blank canvas that needs significant investment to reach this standard of living. The price gap reflects both the larger size of the Whitaker home and the peace of mind that comes with a turnkey historic restoration. You are essentially choosing between a finished masterpiece and a property with 'incredible potential' that needs a vision.

Bottom line
12 S Chavis Street appears fairly priced as a fixer-upper when compared to the significant premium commanded by a fully modernized historic estate like this one.

211 N Cheatham Street

Sold May 1, 2025
Sold for $284k more621 sq ft larger$67 higher per sq ftLuxury renovation vs. needs work

This sold listing on Cheatham Street is a prime example of a high-end luxury renovation, featuring quartz countertops, a designer primary suite, and even a pet-washing station. 12 S Chavis Street is priced much lower because it lacks these premium finishes and requires 'AS IS' repairs to its major systems. While the home for sale has great potential and character, the massive price difference highlights the value added by professional-grade updates and larger acreage. This is a clear comparison between a luxury-tier asset and a renovation opportunity.

Bottom line
For buyers with a vision, 12 S Chavis Street is a way to get into a spacious historic home at a lower price point, though it requires a major budget to match the luxury of this sold home.
