About This Home
Beautifully Updated Historic 4-Bedroom Home with Modern Amenities This charming historic 4-bedroom, 2-bath home combines timeless character with extensive modern upgrades throughout. Major structural improvements include three steel support beams installed beneath the home, fully sealed crawl space and attic, and a dehumidifier in the crawl space for added efficiency and peace of mind. The exterior features durable steel siding and a steel roof, both just two years old, along with new gutters, fresh gravel landscaping, a freshly paved driveway, and a detached one-car garage. The fenced backyard offers a private space for pets, play, or entertaining. Two LED light posts illuminate the front and rear of the property. Inside, you'll find a beautifully renovated interior with 18 newer windows, updated LED lighting, high-end light fixtures, and stylish finishes throughout. The kitchen has been refreshed with new countertops, a center island with seating, and new appliances. Comfort and efficiency are enhanced by a Generac whole-house generator, Palmetto Solar system, tankless water heater, and two mini-split HVAC units serving both the upper and lower levels. Both bathrooms have been updated, featuring a luxurious FlexStone shower on the main level, a freestanding soaking tub upstairs, and new toilets in each bath. The lower level boasts new FlexStone flooring and Blackhawk carpeting, creating comfortable and attractive living spaces. This move-in-ready home offers the perfect blend of historic charm, modern efficiency, and exceptional updates-all in a peaceful setting with a fenced yard and detached garage. This home is being sold as-is, you will not find a home that has been so lovingly cared for and updated.
