Description

If you have an affinity for older homes like I do, then you must take a look at this lovely home built in 1906! It was once owned by my Great Grandmother Ellie and certainly wish these walls could talk! Situated on a corner lot on two acres in the quiet Pleasant Hill Community, you are sure to appreciate the character and charm of this special home. At the time it was built it was referred to as a "shot gun" style home, meaning you could see from opening the front door straight through to the rear of the home. Where once were porches leading to the detached kitchen, now sits the den and breakfast room. In 1965 changes were made to enclose those areas giving more heated living space. From the front foyer, there is a large bedroom on the left and a "parlor" or formal living and dining rooms separated by a fireplace on each side, 12' ceilings, built-in cabinets, and chair railing. The separate great room is a comfortable area for relaxing with lots of windows and beautiful hardwood floors adjacent to the large breakfast room and into the cheerful kitchen. The owner's bedroom is on the main level and has a walk-in closet, and bath with a claw foot tub. Also on the main level is an additional bedroom, bathroom, office and conveniently located large laundry room. Upstairs you will find another bonus space and large 31 x 19 room which could be the fourth bedroom or a great flex space for playroom, nursery, guests, the choice is yours. In addition there is a large walk-in attic space for extra storage. But, the large welcoming front porch is where you really want to be! It's such a special place to unwind, have a glass of iced tea and watch the birds and butterflies. The yard is outlined by pecan trees, azaleas, magnolias, hydrangeas, gardenias and knock out roses and there is ample room for a vegetable garden too. In the past this was part of a much larger parcel of land and there was at one time a small country store on the front left corner of the property. The large 60 x 35 detached garage/shop was once home to an antique car collection and is just waiting on the next owner to put their own spin on it, plus an additional shed, and another outbuilding with carport, storage, and potential for an apartment space. If this sounds like a place you would like to make your home, come by and take a look - you will not be sorry! *Buyer is responsible for verifying square footage of home and lot.
