    What's special

    This 1920 Carolina Blue Colonial Revival offers the comfort of modern convenience with a nod to the origins of its historical class. The kitchen not only boasts stunning bead board ceilings, but holds a native sink in the island while housing a generous modern apron front farmhouse sink for the new quartz countertops! It's things like this that allow the integration of both preservation & modernization to seamlessly appeal to convenience lovers, while staying in keeping with the charm and character of the 1920s bygone era. Light fixtures are new but the door handles are old. Wood floors are lovingly worn after their restoration in 2020. The useful portico affords covered entry from the side steps to the front door and the curved porch (with swing) is so inviting! You will enjoy 4 choices for bedrooms (3 up and 1 down) with each floor offering a full bath. Closets! It has closets and they are unusually large for a 1920 home. A formal study with built-ins off the main living area works great as an office. Cozy up this season with a wood burning fireplace. Laundry room and huge foyer entrance. Full privacy fence in the back yard. A darling carriage style garage/workshop (with its original door) anchor the back yard space and combine with a small fire pit area & a garden closet that doubles as a dog house and make this back yard useful, fun and manageable too! Boiler room /exterior entrance basement has been cleaned out has many options for use. The full attic will spoil you too! 2021 Mini Splits heat and cool the home now and keep the utilities manageable. No flood insurance required, no HOA. A SHORT WALK to the all the downtown waterfront area has to offer, or, a quick commute to Virginia are just a few more things this comfortably elegant home has to offer. This is your shot to own a downtown beauty that was built to withstand the test of time... and the 2542 square feet wont overwhelm OR cramp you. Call now!
