Timeless character meets thoughtful updates in one of Hernando's most distinctive homes, ideally located just a short walk from the historic Hernando Square, locally owned restaurants, boutiques, the farmers market, festivals, and year-round community events. Rich in craftsmanship, history, and charm, this beautifully maintained home offers 3,257 square feet of heated main-level living space, plus an additional 264 square feet of finished upstairs living area currently used as an art studio. This flexible space is ideal as a fourth bedroom, home office, creative studio, hobby room, or private retreat. From the moment you arrive, the sweeping lawn, mature trees, beautiful landscaping, and classic architecture create a memorable first impression. The owners thoughtfully restored the welcoming front porch to reflect the home's original character, preserving the timeless curb appeal that makes this property so special. Inside, you'll discover the details that make historic homes so treasured—original solid hardwood floors, picture rail molding still in use, decorative fireplaces, solid wood doors, glass doorknobs, cedar-lined closets, and a beautiful original corner built-in china cabinet in the formal dining room. Every room reflects the quality craftsmanship and architectural character that are difficult to replicate today. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home offers a gracious formal living room, spacious dining room, and a warm paneled den with built-in bookcases and a fireplace. The kitchen features brick paver floors, double ovens, abundant cabinetry, and a sunny breakfast area, while the generous laundry room provides exceptional storage and convenience. The beautifully remodeled primary suite offers the perfect blend of luxury and comfort with heated tile floors, a clawfoot soaking tub, spacious walk-in shower, custom vanity, and generous closet space. A stylish half bath has been thoughtfully added, while the vintage hall bath preserves another piece of the home's original personality and charm. Thoughtful improvements enhance the home's beauty, comfort, and functionality while respecting its historic character. Recent updates include a new roof, roof extension, a $13,000 Trane HVAC system installed in 2019, relocation of the HVAC equipment to the attic to create additional usable space adjacent to the kitchen, fresh exterior paint, reglazed windows, a custom copper chimney cap, and an expansive covered back porch featuring a stained wood ceiling and multiple ceiling fans. Architectural plans have already been prepared for a future kitchen expansion, providing the next owner with exciting possibilities. Additional amenities include a covered porte cochère, an attached one-car garage with a rear roll-up door, and a shared driveway with deed-referenced driveway rights. This is more than a beautiful historic home—it's a place where every room reveals another thoughtful detail, every improvement honors the home's history, and the walkable location invites you to enjoy everything that makes downtown Hernando so special. Rarely does a home combine this level of character, thoughtful restoration, modern comfort, and prime location in one exceptional property.
