This home belongs on the cover of Country Cottage magazine. With its hardwood floors & painted tongue-and-groove ceilings, paired with wallpaper that resembles lace doilies & a chest of drawers converted into a bathroom vanity, this cozy home exudes Southern charm that draws you in & refreshes you like a Mason Jar of sweet tea. The floorplan is unique forming a complete circle on the first floor. Take a moment to appreciate the details: Expansive brick fireplace w/ wooden mantle and picture window in the living room. Sage accent wall & matching closet doors in the owners' bedroom. Rustic fixtures in the kitchen with a vintage oven, open shelving & floral accents. The mud room serves a dual purpose of washing/drying clothes & propogating plants for springtime gardens. Glass doors in the living room offer quick access to a comfortable family room without walking the entire circle! Butterfly bushes & magnolia trees decorate the yard. Bamboo shades are custom cut & will remain with the house, as will the gorgeous pergola. Refrigerator, washer & dryer can also stay with an acceptable offer. With all the focus on the vintage, we'd be remiss not to mention all the work done to modernize this 1950s bungalow: New roof in 2022. New gutters & water heater in 2024. HVAC in 2021. Updated electrical work performed by a licensed electrician. More than $20,000 invested in new vinyl windows. The home currently offers city sewer service & private well water. Buyer can connect to the city water supply if desired. The water meter is already installed in the front yard. The home rests on a large flat lot that measures nearly an acre. Raised garden beds are lush with tomatoes & raspberries in the summertime. Native plants & trees add natural beauty. 5 pairs of Eastern Bluebirds nest here & a family of squirrels lives in a pine tree in the back yard. The home is within walking distance of community schools, athletic fields, church & a steakhouse that draws patrons from throughout the area. Last but not least are the ''blank canvas'' features on the property that are ready for a new owner's energy and elbow grease: A second home on the property is currently used as a workshop or as storage. The second floor of the main house has ceilings below the required heights and thus cannot be counted in the square footage, however, the second floor can certainly serve as an office, playroom, craft space or storage. It is plumbed for a bathroom too! There is also a basement outfitted with electricity & water. This basement is accessible from the family room AND from the outside. How will you use your creativity to make this home your own? Come tour and let the planning begin!
