Built with money bequeathed by Dr. Jefferson Cary, this house was the first Cary Medical Center! The attic is so large, they used to house patients int the 3rd floor attic! And what is now the pantry used to be the hospital kitchen & dispensary!Today this is a lovely, spacious 4 bedroom home. The gleaming hardwood floors are as popular today as when they were set. When you can break away from sitting on the wrap-around porch, come into the kitchen. You'll find plenty of workstation space and the island seating makes meal prep community oriented. There are a lot of cupboards and overflow can go into the many additional cupboards in the pantry/1st floor laundry. From here, enter into the lovely dining room. This is open to the fireplaced living room and den, creating a lot of family & entertaining floor space! Need some quiet time? Skip ut to the 3-season glassed-in sunporch.The main hallway is large, since folks used to use front doors. Today it could be an office nook, it's that large.You will notice that throughout the firts floor and staircase are gorgeous stained glass upper windows, adding art in each of the rooms.All of the 4 bedrooms are on the 2nd floor as is the full bath.There's a neat little landing at the top of the back staircase (yes, there are two staircases!), which could also be an office hub. From here is the walk-up attic staircase.A private side yard provides room for lawn games or raised beds.There is a 1-car attached garage as well as a carport. Above the garage is another huge storage space - you won't lack for storage at this home!Perfect, nope. But so beautiful it will be a pleasure to live in as you add your own touches. Come enjoy this rich beauty.
