Tranquil, private oasis within city limits! The Carnegie House underwent a meticulous ten-year renovation and reconstruction from the foundation up, completed in 2022. Far beyond a typical renovation, the home was reconstructed with steel, new framing, a substantial poured foundation, energy-efficient 2x6 construction with modern insulation, new electrical and plumbing systems, and more, while preserving its unique character. Recent lender-ordered appraisal valued the property at $697,400. Quiet dead-end road with no through traffic, yet walking distance to Kiwanis Park and Historic Main Street. Each floor features dedicated HVAC. Large SPARE/FLEX room with exterior access. TREX deck and patio with natural gas hookup. Custom cabinetry and granite throughout. Natural gas water heater and gas logs. RO drinking water. Jacuzzi tub in primary bath. Professional landscaping with lighting and irrigation. Century-old Dogwoods. Smart Home and integrated WiFi. High-speed 2 Gbps internet with dedicated fiber available. Distinctive bark siding. Charm. History.
