Historic soul. Modern comforts. Five beautiful acres and a story that's nowhere near finished. Tucked beneath the canopy of mature trees on just over 5 acres, this 1800s bungalow blends the romance of a historic home with the conveniences of modern living. The front porch takes you back to a simpler time when sipping lemonade with a good book, or a friendly neighbor, was the standard. Step inside to soaring ceilings, and a thoughtful layout blending vibrant areas for company and tranquil zones to unwind. A newly renovated kitchen is full of texture, warmth and old-world character. Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main level, along with an unusually spacious laundry room. Upstairs, the possibilities get even more interesting. A recently added full bathroom creates the opportunity to transform the upper level into a spectacular private owner's retreat, complete with space for a generous walk-in closet, gaining a modern primary suite while preserving the home's historic footprint. Outside, there is room to breathe, garden, gather and create. The fenced yard and chicken coop are ready for a little homestead living, while more than 5 acres provides privacy without giving up convenience. No HOA and still close to shopping and the airport. The Sellers envisioned transforming this enchanting property to a "Vampire Diaries" inspired Airbnb - a moody, romantic getaway where historic architecture and modern comforts could create an experience all its own. Life changed their plans. Maybe their unrealized dream becomes yours. Restore it. Retreat to it. Homestead it. Create an unforgettable short term rental - or simply come home to a place that feels wonderfully removed from the ordinary.
