Nestled in the heart of the sought-after Carolina Heights neighborhood, this beautifully renovated historic home offers a perfect blend of classic charm and modern luxury. The deep front porch, complete with a swing bench, invites you into a large entry foyer that sets the tone for the spacious interior. The living room, with built-in bookcases, flows seamlessly into a formal dining room with a fireplace, creating an inviting space for entertaining. The kitchen, completely updated in 2021, is a cook's dream with a gas stove, stainless steel apron sink, refrigerator, and granite countertops, complemented by a coffee bar for your morning routine. Conveniently located off the back hall are: 1.) a large walk-in pantry with a utility sink, 2.) a powder room, and 3.) ample storage closets. Upstairs the primary bedroom features its own fireplace and opens into a charming sunroom that overlooks the beautifully landscaped backyard. The ensuite bath, remodeled in 2021, includes a generous walk-in shower, offering a spa-like retreat. The hall bath is equally luxurious, featuring an oversized tub with spa fixtures and a touch-sensor mirror over the vanity. Two additional bedrooms, one with a custom-built desk area, provide flexibility for family or guests. The home's wrap-around screened porch with views of the lush garden, complete with a fountain, is the perfect spot for enjoying your morning coffee or hosting gatherings. Additional updates include new windows, baths, kitchen, tankless water heater, and an upstairs HVAC system. The exterior is equally impressive, featuring a newly landscaped garden, a new shed with electricity, a new fence with double gates, and a large gravel parking pad accessible via an alley. This home is a true gem, offering timeless elegance and modern conveniences in a prime location.
