Rich in character and history, the home was thoughtfully restored after being moved and restored blending timeless architectural charm with modern comfort. A wide, wraparound front porch welcomes you into a gracious entrance hall featuring soaring 11-foot ceilings and gorgeous heart pine floors that continue throughout the home. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the main level offers a formal living room with fireplace, elegant dining room with fireplace, a handsome library with built-in bookcases, and a spacious family-style great room perfect for gathering and movie nights.

Outside, the manicured grounds are equally impressive with raised garden beds, fruit trees, partial fencing, a creek, and multiple outbuildings suitable for storage, workshop space, or stables. Adding even more value and versatility is a beautifully designed second home offering 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Modern, open, and airy, the guest house creates the perfect juxtaposition to the historic main residence and would make an ideal in-law suite, caretaker’s cottage, artist studio, guest retreat, or income-producing rental property.
