Welcome to this stately 3-story full brick colonial, set on a beautifully landscaped 1.81-acre lot with mature trees, charming outbuildings, and a circular driveway. Located in the desirable Wilson School District.

This property is rich in local history and full of character and craftsmanship. As you arrive, take note of the thoughtfully designed paver walkway leading to the covered rear porch and the meticulously maintained flower beds that add color and charm. A newly installed estate-style rail fence defines the backyard, perfect for privacy and outdoor enjoyment. Step inside through the side entrance and into a cozy private office or den, featuring a vaulted ceiling and an exposed brick accent wall.The kitchen has started the early stages of a renovation project preparation by the sellers to prepare for a full renovation. It is now a blank canvas awaiting your dream design.
