3 Franklin Ave

Franklin Court is a six-story, all-brick pre-war cooperative built in 1929 and sited in downtown White Plains. The elevator building’s exterior features a landscaped courtyard entry, seasonal plantings, and traditional masonry detailing that reflects early 20th-century residential design. Units are predominantly one-bedroom layouts with high, often nine-foot or greater, ceilings, arched entries, crown moldings, hardwood floors, and abundant original trim and picture-frame moldings. Kitchens are frequently updated with granite counters and stainless-steel appliances while baths show periodic modern renovations; many units include eat-in kitchens and walk-in closets. Common areas include an entry foyer, on-site coin-operated laundry, bicycle and separate storage rooms, mailbox areas, and outdoor lighting; garage parking is available on a waitlist with additional nearby municipal parking options. The building is managed with attention to upkeep and cleanliness, non-smoking policies, and handicap access features such as a ramp. Heating is typically oil-fired radiators controlled by in-unit valves; maintenance fees commonly cover heat and hot water, and STAR tax credits are often applied. Located a short walk from Main Street, Westchester Avenue, The Galleria and City Center shopping, restaurants, parks, municipal lots and the Metro-North station (about 35 minutes to Grand Central), the building blends pre-war character with downtown convenience and a compact, amenity-focused cooperative lifestyle.
