Just Sold in Franklin: A Bright, Updated Ranch With Room to Grow

Some homes stand out not because they are large or elaborate, but because they offer comfort, charm, and a location that makes everyday life easier. The recently sold home at 7238 S 36th St in Franklin is a great example of that—a thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom ranch on a peaceful street in one of Milwaukee County’s most desirable suburban communities. With a spacious yard, bright main-level living, and a three-season room that expands how the home can be enjoyed, this property caught buyers’ attention quickly.

A Franklin Location That Fits Any Lifestyle

Franklin has earned a reputation as a top-tier suburb—quiet, safe, and filled with parks, schools, and community amenities. With nearby access to Rawson Avenue, residents enjoy an easy commute while staying close to shopping, restaurants, and Franklin’s strong public schools.

This particular pocket feels especially appealing: tree-lined streets, well-kept homes, and a sense of space that’s getting harder to find. It’s the type of lifestyle Dan Kallas often highlights for clients looking for a blend of comfort and long-term value.

A Warm, Welcoming Ranch With Smart Updates

Built in 1957 and thoughtfully maintained, this 864 sq. ft. ranch offered a layout designed for ease and everyday living. Inside, buyers immediately appreciated:

• A bright, spacious living room

• A welcoming kitchen with tasteful updates

• Three main-level bedrooms

• A refreshed full bathroom

• A large three-season room ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying breezy summer evenings

• A full basement offering the potential for future finishing

The main level’s clean flow and natural light made the home feel larger than its square footage, a hallmark of well-built mid-century ranches.

A Backyard Ready for Enjoyment

One of the home’s standout features was the expansive backyard—perfect for gardening, pets, play, or simply unwinding outdoors. The side drive offered convenience, while the 2.4-car garage provided room for vehicles, tools, and storage. A backyard shed, though in need of a little TLC, added space for seasonal equipment or hobbies.

For many buyers, outdoor flexibility is a major plus, especially in suburban communities like Franklin where yard space is increasingly sought after.

Strong Interest and a Quick Sale

This home generated immediate attention, going pending within 12 days and selling for $300,000, just under the list price—a fair and competitive outcome reflecting both the updates inside and the appeal of the Franklin market.

Throughout the process, Dan Kallas provided steady, informed guidance—helping buyers understand the home’s potential, the value of its updates, and the benefits of its location. In a fast-paced suburban market, that kind of insight helps clients feel grounded in their decisions.

A Great Example of Franklin Living

Though 7238 S 36th St is now sold, it’s the type of property that continues to draw people to Franklin: comfortable homes, quiet neighborhoods, and community amenities that support a balanced lifestyle. This sale is a reminder of why Franklin remains one of the most consistently sought-after communities in the region.

If you’re considering buying or selling in Franklin—or anywhere in the Milwaukee suburbs—knowing the character of each neighborhood can help you make the most confident move.
