A bedroom and a full bathroom can be found at the base of the staircase. The bedroom is currently being utilized as a study. Notice while ascending, the original oak hardwood flooring throughout much of the home and the crown molding. The staircase is like something out a magazine.

There are separate heating/air units for each floor as well as water heaters. And the magic doesn't stop there- the acre lot features large oak and pecan trees with beautiful landscaping that includes 30+ azaleas, 20+ hydrangeas, quince, dogwoods, gardenias, iris, and more! The crawlspace is encapsulated with a dehumidifier by All Dry of Carolinas. The HVAC units are serviced regularly by Stephens Heating and Air.
