Welcome to a rare gem in the heart of Historic Oakwood--where timeless character meets exceptional modern living. This fully updated historic home offers the best of both worlds, blending preserved architectural charm with thoughtfully curated upgrades throughout.Greeted by a rocking chair front porch, you will be amazed once you step inside this home. Tall ceilings and original hardwood floors run throughout, telling the story of the home's rich history. A spacious family room/study with built in desk, bookshelves, and 2 corner cabinets. Bright open dining room with real wood burning fireplace flows seamlessly into the breakfast room and kitchen where you will find another fireplace with gas logs, custom built kitchen island, 2 ovens, tons of cabinets/ storage, and a nearby walk in laundry/ pantry. There's even a dry bar area plumbed and ready for a sink.Three spacious bedrooms, each with its own beautifully appointed en-suite bath, provide comfort and privacy for both residents and guests.
