Step into a rare blend of history and modern comfort! Presumably built by Civil War soldier Charles Wickware, this beautifully preserved five-bedroom, two-bath home showcases timeless craftsmanship alongside thoughtful updates designed for today’s lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, the home’s stately presence and inviting front porch, complete with a classic porch swing, create a warm and welcoming first impression. Inside, you’ll find meticulously restored original woodwork, abundant natural light from renovated windows, and an authentic wood-burning fireplace that adds charm and character to the spacious living areas. The functional floor plan offers a main-floor bedroom and bathroom, along with convenient main-floor laundry room. Upstairs, you’ll find four additional generously sized bedrooms and a second full bathroom, providing plenty of space for family or guests. Large closets throughout the home are a rare and valuable feature for a property of this era and enclosed porches on both levels provide extra living space. Outside, the expansive yard provides endless opportunities for relaxation and entertaining. Gather around the custom-built fire pit, host summer get-togethers, or simply enjoy the peaceful setting.
