The Federal-style home includes; Primary-on-the-main, seven fireplaces, room additions, attached two-car garage, separate fully renovated guest house with attached garage. The home is also handicap-accessible. An L-shaped swimming pool with beach entry compliments expansive side and backyards which include fountains and a beautifully landscaped traditional English garden. The elegant foyer opens to a handcrafted stair case featuring original poplar steps and oak railing. Original ash floors grace the fully renovated interior including kitchen and baths, which tastefully blend with its historic character and design. The columned front porch adds a Greek Revival touch to the otherwise classic Federal design. GUEST HOUSE NOT INCLUDED IN SQUARE FOOTAGE. History: The home was built by Reverend Turner Saunders in 1805 and later purchased by Judge John Marshall in 1845 where it remained in his family for five generations. Judge Marshall’s son, Park, was a well-known local historian and Mayor of both Franklin and Nashville. The home was crafted by ship builders from hewn lumber and the brick was made on site. The southern wall of the home received a direct cannon ball strike in 1864 during the Civil War's Battle of Franklin and served as a General’s Quarters and field hospital. The cannon ball and original Armoire’s remain with the home.
