If you’ve been searching for a manageable plot of land for homesteading and gardening, this adorable “Farmette” might be the perfect fit! Beautifully restored to honor the character and craftsmanship of yesteryear, there are many special features at every turn. The wrap-around front porch with granite masonry knee walls and stairs is a classic “Southernism” perfect for sweet tea sipping. The original front door still has its skeleton key and leads to the spacious living room complete with coffered ceiling, original fireplace and mantel, several large, wavy glass windows, and heart of pine floors that run throughout the home. A formal dining room features original corner built-in china cabinet, fireplace, pocket doors, and triple window that floods the room with light. With a door to the front porch, you could easily transition dinners outside in the cooler months. A butler’s pantry with custom cabinetry and granite countertops leads to the oh-so-adorable kitchen that has been updated yet still honors the stylings of the era the home was constructed. From the antique farm sink and faucet to the updated cabinetry and stainless appliances, you’ll have everything you need. A wide center hallway leads to the the Primary Suite which is quite spacious and features its own fireplace, 12ft ceilings, picture molding, and attached half bathroom. A full hall bathroom has been updated with custom tied shower. At the rear of the home, you’ll find the bright laundry room as well as the third bedroom.
