It just doesnt get any better. This meticulously restored and renovated home is in a leafy green residential enclave of lovingly preserved homes in the heart of the Historic Alphabet District. Four columns on the front portico welcome you in, to the entry hall with wainscoting, new quarter-sawn oak floors and French doors opening to the living room. The formal living room features a gas-burning fireplace and opens to the dining room, flanked by columns and lined with leaded-glass cabinets. From here, French doors take you to the level grassy fully-fenced southern-exposure yard.
