The traditional floor plan is perfect for entertaining with a formal living room featuring a wood burning fireplace and the large dining room with wainscotting can easily accommodate many guests. A favorite room on the main level is the mahogany paneled study a hidden dry bar, a perfect spot to curl up with a good book. The beautiful staircase leads upstairs to a landing and features all 4 bedrooms with the large owner's suite on one end of the home.

One bedroom shows the original oak hardwood floors that are believed to be throughout the home and the closets are cedar lined. The bathrooms feature the original tile which are still in pristine condition. The basement level has over 1,300 square feet of great storage. A perfect estate lot for hosting garden parties or large family gatherings and there have even been a few wedding receptions in its day. Beautiful mature oaks, dogwoods, magnolias as well as azaleas, boxwoods and roses all add to the classic charm of the residence. There is also a 20x12 outbuilding and dog lot tucked away in the backyard plus a fire pit area.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
