Presenting the ''Parsley House'' circa 1857. Affectionately known locally as, ''the white house.'' Inspired by the tropics, the current homeowner decorated this grand Italianate style three-story home in white, including walls and floors. The all-white styling has created an open, bright and airy atmosphere. Not lost are the beautiful historic elements of this home; including high ceilings, original windows, 6 fireplaces, little nooks and built-ins. This home has 4 large bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Two bedrooms have en suite baths, one with a clawfoot tub. The electric has been updated and the home will convey with a whole house generator. The exterior features overhanging eaves with integrated gutters and decorative corbel details. Shutters decorate the windows while a large front porch greets guests. A covered piazza runs the length of the home on the southern side, allowing for cool river breezes to flow three short blocks through the porch on this corner lot. The fully enclosed yard has wonderful low maintenance raised beds, brick pavers, bamboos, palms, and a double gate. The home has been featured in various historic home articles, tours, and open houses. It is nicely appointed and has been well maintained. The location is super convenient to all downtown offers, just two blocks away from the main restaurant and shopping area. All potential buyers must provide pre-approval or proof of funds prior to any showings.
