This house has been renovated throughout with much attention paid to retaining the original charm. Enter through a front porch in the style of a New Orleans double gallery porch with two levels. There is a generous foyer with bookshelves, 9' ceilings, a large living room with a wood burning fireplace ( chimney rebuilt 2019) that opens to a large dining room, with original heart pine floors ( refinished 2001) and moldings. Modern improvements include reworking of the floor plan of the second level to create an upstairs laundry room with original farmhouse kitchen sink and cabinets, newer marble counter. Two nice sized bedrooms with large closets, an office with vintage wall sconces, a hall bath, and a charming owner suite with sliding barn-door closet and vintage en-suite bath complete this level. An original French window leads from the office to the second floor porch. The kitchen was renovated in 2021 with black granite counters, 2018 stainless appliances, pantry closet, and track lighting. Off the dining room is a sunroom/family room, (or bedroom #4) and a full bath with subway tile, new tub, and built-in storage added . Behind that, an enclosed rear porch. The large walk up attic and lower level with walk out for storage. There is a shared driveway with rear parking pad for your convenience. The lovely landscaped yard features a native perennial garden in both front and back plus a water lily pond in rear. The garden is filled with mature azaleas, old-fashioned daffodils and augmented with native wildflowers to attract pollinators, including three shades of beebalm, many varieties of ferns, irises, columbine and trillium, lilies, daisies, black-eyed susans, milkweed and other colorful native plants. Truly a wonderful house. OPEN SUNDAY 2-4
