Step Into History: A Charming 1870s Home with Timeless Character & Modern Upgrades. Welcome to a piece of living history-a beautifully preserved home dating back to the 1870s, brimming with stories and charm. In fact, the sellers came across a story of a 19th-century young bride saying her vows in this very house, beginning her life with her butcher sweetheart before setting off on their journey together. Every corner whispers of days gone by, from the original details to the preserved summer kitchen remnants in the rear addition. Step outside to discover your own private oasis-a lush, hidden garden bursting with life. A vibrant red bud tree, one of spring's first heralds, dazzles with purple blooms, while a fragrant Sweet Bay magnolia perfumes the air in late spring. Hostas, ferns, coral bells, azaleas, and liriope create a verdant sanctuary, attracting birds to the feeders and bath. This enchanting space is perfect for al fresco dining or tranquil afternoons with a book. The spacious composite deck, built for effortless maintenance, offers year-round enjoyment with a cozy fire pit for chilly evenings. New fencing, landscape lighting, and a sliding lower gate add both beauty and convenience. Potted plants and serene surroundings make this the ideal spot for relaxation and entertaining. While honoring its historic roots, this home has been lovingly updated for modern living. The kitchen boasts sleek granite countertops, while Anderson windows enhance energy efficiency. Fresh carpeting graces the second-floor hallway and a charming purple bedroom. The main bathroom features a new tub and shower, plus a stunning stained-glass window salvaged from St. James Episcopal Church's original chapel. The guest bath offers old-world charm with a classic eagle claw tub-perfect for indulgent soaks. Key systems, including the furnace, AC, and water heater, have been meticulously maintained by Haller Enterprises, ensuring worry-free comfort. A rare one-car garage provides coveted city storage-or the potential for conversion into a cozy gathering space with French doors and a wood stove (a dream for the next owner to bring to life!). This home has been a cherished haven for generations. Now, it's your turn to add to its legacy. Whether you're drawn to its rich history, enchanting gardens, or modern comforts, this property offers a unique blend of past and present. Don't miss the chance to make it yours.
