• 5,000 sq. ft., 3 bath, 4 bdrm 2 story "Colonial" - MLS®$330,000

 -  This home is located just off Dime Road, yet once on the circular drive one feels a million miles away. "Picture perfect" like an old plantation, this colonial style house, nestled on 2 acres of rich, level earth, transports one to another place, in another time. One may conjure up thoughts of the Old South or feel like Scarlet O'Hara while traveling under the old southern shade trees toward the home. The complete restoration of this house successfully married conveniences of the 21st century with the charm of another time. It has 4 Bedrooms, 3 Baths and its original architectural design has been maintained with surprising accuracy. This is true especially with regards to the door, window and crown moldings, the tongue and groove plank ceiling in the kitchen, and the claw-foot tubs in the bathrooms. It is adorned with many customized windows, adding interest while bathing the home in natural light. In the kitchen the layout exemplifies the "perfect work triangle," and it includes ample counter & cabinet space. It has both a bar that can seat 4 and an island that doubles as a chopping block. As attractive as it is useful, the kitchen is decorated with white bead board, corian countertops, hardwood floors, and a gorgeous ceiling. There is a laundry room and the basement supplies plenty of storage. The formal dining room is huge and is painted a deep garnet, has white wain-scot, and seats 10 comfortably. Both the formal & private living areas are cozy and include fireplaces. Reading and relaxing are easily achieved in either the sunroom with it's awesome brick floors, or the library, with it's built-in bookshelves. Outside, the home has a back patio and a front porch. Trust me, Scarlet never had it this good. This property has it all and must be seen to appreciate this truely unique opportunity.
