Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams First Coast Realty - The Marro Team

Offered by Greg Flanagan with remax Advanced Realty.

Built in the late 1800's this painted lady has seen her fair share of history pass by the front door. Originally built as a get away for the plantation owners during the hot summers, this home is surrounded by hundred year old live oaks. The cascading canopy cools the home still today. Updated recently (2009) with new mechanicals, electric, flooring, insulation, roof, decking, baths and kitchen this is a fabulous grand old lady. The Kitchen is made for gathering, the bedrooms are designed for privacy with each having their own bath and or shower. The ten foot front door complete with skeleton key opens onto a great low country porch with fans and breezes. Walk in the front door, to the right is a Carolina room, to the left a study with fireplace. Eleven foot ceilings create lots of volume throughout the home. The kitchen is newly installed with the busy chef or mother in mind. The grand center island boasts a stainless steel three tub sink, granite counter tops, kid friendly mini-fridge and under counter microwave. A commercial gas, 6 burner stove with dual ovens, pot filler and heavy duty exhaust fan makes meal preparation easy. Dual dishwashers make clean up even easier. The eat-in kitchen area is large enough to hold the biggest of feasts. With the options of opening the three sets of French doors that lead onto the large deck, this will become one of your favorite spots for gatherings. The cabinet, pantry and storage system in the kitchen offer substantial space in which to store even your largest platters and pots. There is a guest house too! Whether used as a guest or rental income (currently rented for $1000/mo) this is a great way to have the out-of-towners in for the weekend without giving up your inner sanctum. It is 2 bedroom/2 bath and stands alone in the rear of the property. Partial owner financing available to qualified persons.
