Experience classic charm with modern conveniences in this fully updated 1890 historic home. While the home currently operates as an owner occupied and very profitable 3BR Airbnb, it will seamlessly transition into a five-bedroom four-bath private residence. The main level blends beautiful formal areas with comfortable informal areas. The kitchen has updated cabinetry, granite counters, a 5-burner gas range, stainless steel dishwasher, refrigerator drawers and island seating. A butler's pantry with additional range and refrigerator is perfect for entertaining and leads directly into the dining room. The family room shares the original brick double-sided fireplace with the main kitchen. Two main level bedrooms with hall bath. Cozy parlor with gas log fireplace. The upper floor has three ensuite bedroom/bathrooms with modern fixtures, soaking tubs and walk-in tiled showers. Full length covered front and rear porches are the best spots for socializing & relaxing. Short walk to downtown.
