About this property
This grand Colonial style home was built in 1909 and has been continually updated in the 2000's, including wiring and plumbing, to preserve it's splendor while modernizing where appropriate. The home is situated on .78 acres of flat land surrounded by large oak, pecan, and magnolia trees. Privacy provided by the shady trees is further enhanced by a Charleston style brick patio, added in 2015, with its own privacy fence. The spacious patio has ample room for entertaining, as well as a raised garden for vegetables and flowers. A crushed gravel driveway leads to an ample parking and turnaround pad. A white vinyl picket fence installed in 2014 encloses the front and side yards to allow ample safe space for pets. Inside the fence at the back of the house, a wooden deck installed in 2016 affords entrance to the back portion of the main floor. The home has 4 entrances, including the original wood and beveled glass 42" wide front door with an 1874 unique brass doorbell. There is one entrance on each side of the 1100 sq ft wraparound porch.
