This stately all-brick two-story home with all hardwood flooring is the perfect combination of ‘historic charm' and ‘modern convenience!' The owners have masterfully renovated every inch of space from the refurbished basement to the new roof/gutters/guards ~ and all areas in-between, including a ‘down to the studs' remodeled chef's kitchen with impeccable functionality. Entering the front door from the elongated porch, you will step into the living room and feel the lure of Southern living with a beautiful double-sided fireplace which extends into the neighboring cozy paneled den which the owners call “The Snug.” The sizable dining room flows directly into the welcoming kitchen with all top-of-the-line appliances and beautiful French doors opening to the rear patio and yard. A secluded reading nook/office/sunroom is down a couple of steps and includes a full bath with shower. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms AND an office or 4th bedroom with light/bright windows along two walls. A cheerful bath with shower is centrally located in the hall ~ all new, new, new! The lower level basement has been encapsulated and offers endless storage possibilities, including an enormous cedar closet for off-season clothing. The back yard is fully fenced with wood and brick pillars which complement the brick exterior of the house, and the added bonus of the BACK COTTAGE is now a completely renovated exercise room with new mini-split. Along with its exceptional charm, this house has new, new, new EVERYTHING ~ the infrastructure includes new electrical and plumbing systems, HVAC (gas furnace AND A/C unit), windows, plantation shutters, kitchen appliances, interior paint throughout, water heater, irrigation, etc. It's a dream come true for the next owner in the heart of the neighborhood within 5 minutes of downtown and award-winning public schools.
