If you've longed to live in a simpler setting, reminiscent of Earl Hamner's, 'The Waltons', TV series, 1972-1981,
this home is for you! The sprawling wraparound porch, encompassing the front and right side of the home, the
acre setting, with crepe myrtle trees lining Poplar Street, mature landscaping coupled with open areas for children and pets to play, this home begs a view! 1910 construction, ensures a well built home, when claw hammers and hand saws ruled supreme, nails were driven by hand and building a home, was an endeavor of pride and quality, taking weeks, maybe months, compared to
days...***The second level has no heat/air conditioning***Upstairs has the potential use of 2 additional bedrooms; however, the ceiling height is only 6', 9" in the second level, one of those 'intended use' bedrooms has a walk-in closet(Keep in mind, this is 1910 construction)! The first level ceiling heights are 10'... Come see everything, this 2BR, 2BA home with detached storage/work shop, and easy access to highways 73, 24/27, 52 has to offer, and pick out a favorite spot on the porch for your prized rocking chair! There's still ample time to close and be settled in by Christmas and sip eggnog by either fireplace, schedule a showing today. Property is being sold, "AS-IS"... Thanks!
