Step into timeless elegance with this beautiful historical-style home, filled with character and charm. From the moment you arrive, the inviting curved wrap-around porch--covering three entryways--sets the tone for everything this unique property has to offer. One entrance features double doors opening into a large great room with exposed beams, a masonry fireplace, and stained glass windows.The front door leads you into the parlor, where you'll find 9-foot ceilings, beautifully crafted hardwood flooring with inlaid patterns, and exquisite woodwork throughout--showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Through the first set of handcrafted pocket doors is the library, complete with built-in shelving, a stained glass window, and books from the early 1900s.The next set of sliding wood doors leads you to the formal dining room, and then to the kitchen, which features original built-ins. Off the kitchen is a newly updated bathroom with a soaker tub. Finishing off the main level is the sunroom with vaulted ceilings, overlooking your own private retreat: a large in-ground pool, a fenced-in yard, and mature landscaping--perfect for summer gatherings or quiet weekends at home.Upstairs, you'll find three nicely sized bedrooms, an office currently used as a large walk-in closet, and a spacious bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and a stand-up shower. There's plenty of parking with two driveways, one leading to a two-car garage. There is wallpaper in the dining room, kitchen, office, and 2 bedrooms upstairs. Roof is 2022 Pool liner 2022
