As you approach, you’ll be greeted by a stunning pin oak tree—believed to have begun growing during the Civil War era—providing beauty, shade, and a truly special sense of history. The expansive front deck invites you to sit, relax, and take in the serene garden views. From here, you can enter the home directly into the kitchen or into the living room, offering both convenience and flow. Inside, the living room opens to the dining nook and kitchen, creating a comfortable and functional layout. The kitchen features a new stone backsplash, while the original sink and cabinetry bring a warm, retro charm that blends wonderfully with the home's character. Just off the kitchen is a bedroom, a standout space with vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and two sliding doors leading to both the backyard and driveway. This private, versatile room is ideal for a primary suite, guest suite, or even in-law accommodations, offering its own easy entry and exit. A large, finished basement provides valuable additional living space—perfect for a family room, home office, playroom, or studio.
