The recessed entrance welcomes you on the porch where you can sip your coffee with the warmth of the sunrise. The 5 BD 2.5 BA home is filled with classic charm from nine-foot ceilings downstairs to well-preserved original wood floors throughout along with pocket doors and elegant crown molding accents.
