Step onto the gracious front porch, complete with two porch swings, and imagine slow mornings with coffee or lively evenings with friends. Inside, you're greeted by refinished original hardwood floors, vintage mouldings, and light-filled rooms that tell the story of nearly a century of warm Southern living. The renovated kitchen is a showpiece—quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, brand-new appliances, and modern hardware bring timeless style into the heart of the home. Multiple retiled fireplaces, refinished floors, and new designer lighting fixtures in nearly every room reflect the attention to detail throughout. The expansive primary suite overlooks the lush backyard and offers a massive custom walk-in closet, plus a connected flex room ideal as a nursery, office, or studio.
