1 Franklin Ave

A six-story prewar cooperative constructed in 1928, this classic White Plains residence blends historic architectural details with modernized apartment interiors. The masonry façade and restored lobby introduce a low-rise building with 1‑ and 2‑bedroom unit layouts (plus studios in many listings), tall ceilings and original moldings that recall its era. Units commonly feature hardwood or wide-plank floors, archways, crown moldings, wood-burning fireplaces in select homes, and generous room proportions including entry foyers and formal dining alcoves. Kitchens are frequently updated with stainless appliances, granite or quartz counters, island or breakfast-bar configurations, and practical pantry storage. Bathrooms range from original-tiled baths to fully renovated windowed designs with sizeable showers or tubs. Shared building amenities emphasize day-to-day convenience: elevator access, on-site laundry, a fitness room, bike and storage areas, and an attractive planted garden with private entrances for some residences. Parking is handled via a wait list for on-site garage spaces and nearby municipal lots; covered parking across the street is often available for a fee. The coop’s pet-friendly policy, recently upgraded elevator, and attentive maintenance history support an urban-suburban lifestyle steps from downtown White Plains retail, theaters, restaurants, The Westchester mall and Metro-North rail connections.
