Listed on the National Register of Historic Places this 1870 two story I-House with Italianate details has been fully restored by two separate meticulous Owners. The stucco exterior has been freshly painted, the standing seam metal roof restored and the stone foundation repointed. Major restorations from 2013 to 2015 updated infrastructure and enhanced both interior and exterior elements. A second restoration, 2015 to 2025, continued this work, enclosing the original two-story sleeping porches to expand the interior living space and refinishing two of the three lower-level rooms. Nestled on a corner lot on historic South Samuel Street a welcoming full-width front porch, supported by four stately Doric columns, sets the stage for this homes historic grandeur. Two original floor to ceiling 2/2/2 windows with their antique glass accentuate its charm. Inside a gracious center hall on both levels defines the home's symmetry, complemented by beautifully refinished hardwood floors, a proud front staircase, beadboard columns with rosette molding framing windows and doorways, transom-topped second floor doors, 9’+ ceilings, and abundant natural light throughout. On the main level left of the center hall, the Drawing Room showcases an original floor to ceiling bay window. Opposite, the spacious Dining Room features an original fire place and connects directly to the show-stopping Gourmet kitchen. Designed for both function and beauty, the kitchen boasts a large marble top Island with seating and ample storage, upgraded stainless steel appliances and a gas stove-every chef's dream. Adjacent is a main level laundry room with washer and dryer. A charming back staircase off the kitchen provides direct access to the second level perfect for late night snacks! Completing the main level is a marble-floored half bath and a sunroom offering lovely backyard views. This sunroom and its second-level counterpart are equipped with independent LG heating and air conditioning units. A staircase leads to the finished lower level where maintenance free laminate plank flooring and propane gas fireplaces create a cozy ambiance. The first room, a pool room features the home's original fireplace and the restored mantle found in the Carriage house. The second room, ideal for ping pong and darts, also has a propane fireplace. The third space remains an ample unfinished storage area. The second level features a generous primary suite with a stunning en-suite bathroom complete with a large walk-in shower, marble flooring, double sink vanity and abundant storage. Across the hall, the second bedroom offers ample closet space, while the third bedroom at the end of the hall, retains its original built-in closet. A crisp, marble clad guest bath with modern features and a vintage freestanding clawfoot tub completes this level. The beautifully landscaped, fenced yard, is a true retreat featuring stone enclaves with intersecting brick paths, and a new stamped dark rose concrete patio and a recently installed Cabana.
