Originally built in 1937 and thoughtfully expanded in 2005, this remarkable estate seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with modern comfort and generous living space. From the moment you arrive, and drive up the circle driveway, the stately brick façade, mature landscaping, and expansive front lawn create an unforgettable first impression. The private gated and fenced backyard is lined with 30 foot tall crape myrtles. The back yard offers endless possibilities for entertaining, relaxing, or creating your own outdoor retreat, complemented by three separate patios that provide exceptional spaces for dining, entertaining and enjoying the beauty of the property. Inside, rich craftsmanship and historic elegance are showcased throughout. The breathtaking formal dining room, grand enough to rival a ballroom, features exquisite hand-stenciled walls and ceilings, creating a truly one-of-a-kind setting for memorable gatherings. Intricate and ornate designer wallpaper adds warmth, sophistication, and character throughout the home. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes a spacious main-level primary suite with access outside, while four additional bedrooms upstairs provide ample accommodations for family and guests. This home offers a main level office and full sunroom as well as multiple living rooms both formal and casual. Site-finished hardwood floors, ceramic tile, and multiple fireplaces throughout the home enhance its warmth and timeless appeal. Offering the charm of a historic estate with the convenience of a substantial newer addition, this exceptional property is a rare blend of elegance, craftsmanship, and location just moments from everything Downtown Wilson has to offer.
