Welcome to this historic home, lovingly restored to its original beauty, with modern conveniences added! The double gallery porches, sawn balusters and decorative trim set the stage, while the interior 12’ ceilings, original heart pine and reclaimed wood floors, 6 fireplaces (2 natural gas), 8’ pocket doors, decorative door frames, deep base boards, and beautiful crown molding continue the magic and charm. The major home projects include a 2012 addition creating a huge walk-in master closet, additional bedroom and detached garage with finished office/studio, plus new front porch columns and handrails. All changes compliment and reflect the age of the home. 2019 produced a dramatic heart pine interior staircase and balustrade, laundry room with cabinets, utility sink and washer/dryer, and also a new pantry. All major mechanical systems run with high efficiency i.e., electrical, plumbing (includes whole house filtration, tankless water heater) and dual HVAC system. Foam insulation with Radiant foil barrier was added to the attic and below the house. The master bedroom, with 8’ windows, looks to the full length second floor porch and features a luxurious oversized ensuite bath. In addition, two more charming and spacious bedrooms and full bath continue to add character. One of the two sets of exterior stairs leads from a bedroom to the picture perfect New Orleans style concrete courtyard with a 3 tiered antique fountain. The oversized back deck, off the comfortable and updated kitchen, provides seating with a serene view. A first floor bedroom with ensuite bath and dining room add even more family space. The meticulous preservation of the original home and the recent detailed workmanship earned the North Hill Preservation Society Joyce Turner Award. Our downtown restaurants, shopping, theater, ball games and the Palafox Market are just steps away! It’s easy to fall in love with this amazing historic home that provides all the comforts enjoyed in today’s lifestyle.
