Extraordinary one owner home never before offered for sale. Designed by noted local architect John Shaffer, this 3 bedroom 3 bath treasure with antique beams on the ceilings, antique heart pine floors and an enchanting screened porch sits on a beautifully landscaped one acre lot. The grounds feature a gazebo, grape arbor, fountain, potting shed and hardscape all designed by the architect. A tree-lined drive brings the home into view, then winds around the house to extensive parking at the rear of the property. The exterior walls are hard coat stucco, the roof is antique copper shingles, antique lentels are over the windows, and smilax over the front door. The kitchen is large and light-filled, and the dining room is a generous size with original murals on the walls. The graciously-proportioned living room has a beautifully designed fireplace and French doors leading onto a lovely patio. The library has floor to ceiling bookshelves and an ornately carved wooden mantle piece. The master bedroom is on the main floor with very spacious closets. There is an attached office/guesthouse with an outside entrance that can easily be converted to part of the main house by opening up a doorway which was drawn into the original plans.
