Built in 1915 by Horace Tilghman, this folk victorian style home has the charming character only found in older homes with a modern functionality introduced by recent updates. Built as a wedding gift for his bride Bell Montgomery from Montgomery Grove, this is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Custom made gas lanterns welcome you to through the front door where heart pine floors flow throughout all 3,572 square feet of the home illuminated with sunlight filtering through the leaded panes of the original windows across the front of the home. The fully renovated kitchen includes the original mahogany cabinetry with the addition of custom cabinetry all surrounding an eight foot granite countertop island perfect for preparing meals, eating family lunches, and entertaining guests. The dedicated bar space including a wine fridge and cabinets doors crafted from original windows salvaged during a previous home renovation is the perfect spot to house the cocktail for your next guest hosting. For relaxed gatherings, your guests could flow directly into the large living room featuring a nine foot, log burning fireplace with a gas light cheater system. The kitchen also connects directly to the dining room which opens up into a sitting parlor for more formal dining and entertaining events. An additional half bath added in the entrance hallway during the recent renovation makes entertaining within this space even easier. With four large bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths, the house has plenty of room for a large family or a smaller family needing to reserve a spot for out of town guests. The master suite is located on the first floor with three bedrooms located off the foyer of the second floor. An additional large room on the first floor with an adjacent half would make a perfect office space offering a great view of the neighborhood or could be utilized as an additional bedroom or sitting space. Plenty of storage closets and walk in attic space are also a plus since they are uncommon in houses built during this era. At 0.90 acres, this corner lot property boasts tremendous curb appeal, and the fenced in backyard makes the perfect safe retreat for young children and furry friends. As evening falls, landscape lighting throughout the property showcases the large oak trees in the front yard and illuminates the solid pine porch columns along the porch. The large southern style wrap around porch provides a great area for evening family meals, morning coffee, and large gatherings. Landscaping was completely redesigned seven years ago and professional pruning and maintenance has allowed it to flourish. Drip irrigation ensures easy maintenance during the hotter months. The brick patio in the back contains a natural gas fire-pit which provides a warm ambiance during the cooler months without the burden of wood and smoke. The detached building houses a utility room and kitchen. It also provides additional storage both on the first floor and the attic. This space is constructed with pecky cypress walls and pine flooring providing yet another space to entertain guest and host events. This building also has a brand new roof and is fully insulated. In the last five years the home has undergone an exterior paint job, roof re-shingled, and brand new HVAC up and downstairs with all the warranties in place.
