Meticulously renovated estate style home in the heart of Edgewood, famously known as THE WHITE HOUSE or THE RICE HOUSE. This amazing historic home was built by the Father of Homewood, who created what we know today as Homewood. This home offers more level outdoor space than you will find elsewhere in Homewood. It sits on 3 large lots plus 10-15 feet of a fourth lot, and an additional green space city right of way adjacent to it used for gardening or additional privacy. It has two full en suites and then two additional bedrooms that share a bathroom. Enjoy two separate fenced and private back yards with one of them is perfect for a private pool oasis, a separate dog yard, plus enough front yard space for massive get-togethers, with a majestic front porch that over-looks the heart of Homewood from the top of the hill, and an attached covered carport, a detached two-car garage, and 4 optional covered carports to park a whole car collection. Upon entering this elegant home, the gleaming hardwoods, soaring ceilings, & architectural touches make one feel like they have stepped back in time. The Original rippled windows afford much light throughout the home. Lovely stained glass windows complement the updated baths. Spacious Master bedroom, bath, & closet have been totally renovated. Entertain in the Gourmet kitchen with refinished cabinetry, new countertops and large lighted pantry closet. Enjoy the beautiful staircases and the wraparound front porch overlooking the heart of Edgewood. Must see to believe! Serious inquiries only, please. New high-efficiency HVAC units, electrical and plumbing updated in 1980, antique elegance combined with marble countertops, farm sink, stainless appliances, just beautiful. And, if this isn't enough for you, the basement and the attic have room to add more living spaces. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Homewood. Will work with agents.
