Property Description

Imagine yourself sitting with friends/family on the front porch of this house as generations of owners have done, waving to neighbors & visitors alike as they stroll by! Walking into this charming 1894 gem is both comforting & relaxing. The simple "4 over 4" floor plan has generous sized rooms with an understated elegance. The center foyer has a a room on either side of it. To the left of the foyer is the living room with a fireplace, a french door to the front porch, and a pair of french doors opening into the dining room making it easy for conversation to flow between the two rooms. Just off the dining room is the kitchen with a large work island, a breakfast nook area, and tile floor. Upper cabinets have glass panes to display your favorite pieces adding to the charm of the room. There is plenty of cabinet space! The back door opens onto a grand porch that runs across the entire back of the house. The final downstairs room is to the right of the foyer and could easily be used as a den, study, home office, or bedroom as it has a full bath adjoining it. Like the living room on the other side of the foyer, this room also has a fireplace & a french door opening onto the front porch. The low rise steps of the foyer staircase allow you to easily ascend to the second floor. At the top of the staircase, French doors once again welcome you to go out onto the 2nd floor balcony overlooking the tree-lined street. On the second floor there are 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a laundry room & a back hall area with storage. All 3 bedrooms are a generous size. The upstairs bath adjoins the primary bedroom & has an updated shower, a claw foot tub, and a single sink vanity. There is a large laundry room with a washer & dryer that convey. Part of the laundry room space (directly behind the primary bath) could be used to enlarge the primary bath or add a walk-in closet. The storage space in the back hall area (just outside the laundry room) could be turned into a second upstairs bath. Nine foot ceilings throughout the house add to the spacious feel. Outside, a centuries-old oak tree stands guard marking the driveway (yes, there is off-street parking!). Ferns & hostas line the front porch on either side of the steps. There is a "secret garden" path running along the left side of the house and 3 large gardenia bushes on the right side of the property. The peaceful & beautiful backyard garden has an abundance of hydrangea bushes, numerous types of ferns & hostas, geraniums, zinnias, etc. that have all been lovingly cared for by the owners. The privacy fence is made of specially milled rough-cut treated pine. The back porch has a large attached table at one end which could be used for numerous purposes - projects, potting plants, a bar for porch parties, or an oyster roast table! Many good times could be had on this porch! This grande dame of Cannon Street is ready to welcome a new steward to care for her. You must come see her quickly as she will not last long!!
