Once in a Century Opportunity! Step into timeless elegance with this extraordinary early 20th century 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence available for the first time since 1901. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years, this stately home is a rare blend of historic and timeless character and modern comfort and situated in the Waynesboro coveted Tree Streets Historic District. Situated on a 0.31-acre lot, the home showcases incredible original woodworking, vintage craftsmanship with intricate trim details, and seven fireplaces, each telling its own story. Gleaming hardwood floors and oversized windows bathe the spacious interiors in natural light, while the deep covered front porch invites quiet mornings and gracious entertaining. The home is move-in ready, with tasteful updates throughout, yet it still retains its soul from the walk-up unfinished attic full of potential, to the preserved craftsmanship rarely found in today's homes. Whether you're drawn to its storied past or inspired by its future possibilities, this property is a rare chance to own a piece of living history. Don't miss your opportunity to be the next steward of this remarkable legacy. Exterior Plaque at front door does not convey.
