Beautifully renovated in 2006, this historic 1870 home has been lovingly maintained by its owners in top condition on a wonderful quiet street. It overlooks one of the largest gardens South of Broad across the street. The facade of the home has great curb appeal with 2 story columned front porches, great morning and afternoon light, original French doors upstairs with transom windows above and storm shutters on the exterior windows. The front of the home opens into a front hall, sitting room and a contemporary formal dining room each with a fireplace, custom maple hardwood floors and 11 foot ceilings. The kitchen boasts beautiful mahogany cabinetry, Viking appliances plus a separate beverage refrigerator, Sub Zero wine cooler, gas cook top and warming drawer. The open floor plan from the kitchen back to the casual family room, breakfast room, sunroom, and garden makes this an ideal area to entertain. The professionally landscaped and meticulously maintained garden has tasteful night lighting and an in-ground mosquito misting system. Accessed from two doors and a deck, the garden can easily be used during our 9 months of good weather. There are 4 bedrooms, each with gas fireplace, and 3 full baths upstairs. One bedroom is currently used as a library with a classic sliding library ladder. There are 2 modern guest baths, one with a jetted garden tub. The master suite is spectacular with a well designed California Closet, sitting area and a stunning bath with garden tub, separate walk in shower with two shower heads, separate water closet, ladies vanity, and gas fireplace.
