Built in 1924 this American Foursquare is known as the "Sumpter House" in honor of its original owners. Two generations of Sumpters lived in the home for a total of 61 years. Located in the College Hill Historic Neighborhood, making the location a short walk to historic downtown Bowling Green and Western Kentucky University. The timeless attention to detail, quality and craftsmanship offers a warm welcome to all visitors. Featuring over 2700 square feet, this home boasts original hardwood floors throughout, a wonderful gas log fireplace flanked by bookcases, corner cabinets, a beautiful staircase and much more. The floor plan flows easily and offers plenty of space for your family to grow and create many cherished memories. Outside you will find access to the basement, offering 755 sq ft, this space can be used as a hobby/workshop, exercise room, or additional storage. There is also a 2-car garage (with storage room) that features the original carriage doors as well as a 2-car carport. The surprisingly private brick patio and walkways are surrounded by a lush lawn that is beautifully landscaped and boarded by a stone wall. Impossible to recreate, this is truly a "One of a Kind" Home!
