Ever stepped into a home and immediately felt your heart sink? Well, come on in and be awed by this amazingly beautiful 8 room 1836 Dogtrot. With 2,990 sq. ft., this 1 1/2 story has so much to offer and could serve as a residence, office or B&B. Enjoy the large front porch as you wile the day away and take a walk to the Canton Square! The 4 full length windows across front are accented with thick heavy full length shutters. The lovely Dogtrot has the traditional wide entry hall with two huge living rooms on each side. Both living rooms have a gas log fireplace adorned with original brick and full slab marble. Also, both living areas have full baths with a lot of light and claw foot tubs. The kitchen has shiplap walls and large pantry. A beautiful beadboard ceiling and skylight make the dining room, with walls of shiplap, a place to enjoy family and friends and the enjoyment can continue on the full enclosed huge back porch. The majority of the hardwood flooring is original which seals in the respect from true "old house" lovers. Going up the stairs to the second story, it is a "story" indeed! The landing is large with the cozy dormer inset that could serve as an office, extra lounge area or sewing room. Off to each side are two large bedrooms that both have nice size closets, gas log fireplaces and their own full bath! How often is an intact, good condition linoleum rose pattern rug to be found in a home? Sitting on large lot, the back yard is fenced for privacy. There is a huge approx. 30 x 40 steel framed workshop with an additional 10x 12 (again approx.) storage room. And don't miss the red stained two car garage! There is so much to say about this house, it has to be toured personally! The details are endless. Schedule an appointment with your REALTOR today!
