About 523 N Main St

Your search is over, because it doesn't get any better than this! 523 N. Main Street is an historic gem that has been thoughtfully and impeccably rehabbed into the bungalow of your dreams. You can tell this 1917 charmer has been loved dearly over its 108 years of life. Its two decorative fireplaces look just as they did they day they were installed. The original wood plank ceilings, hardwood floors, and 6-panel doors with mortise locks and skeleton keys have been painstakingly uncovered and returned to their former glory for you to admire, while also enjoying all the contemporary comforts you could desire. Imagine waving to your neighbors from the stately, 9 ft. deep front porch with dual ceiling fans and classic haint blue beadboard ceiling. Step through the front door (with its original cylinder "wavy" glass window) into a massive foyer that welcomes you home. The new 9' high ceilings allow ample natural light to flood the space. You'll feel like you've been transported back in time.
