Welcome to the Shipp House! There's a reason Victorian homes have descriptors like ''storybook,'' ''gingerbread,'' and ''whimsical''--their otherworldly stained glass , ornate milled designs & original cypress wood~ evoke a childlike delight! Don't worry, we know that historic appeal often comes with equally historic amenities, but rest assured this beauty has been lovingly fully restored in 2007 by local expert -George Thompson, providing modern necessities (like updated kitchens, central air, tankless water heater) w/o losing their charming details (like original hardwood floors, fireplaces w/original mantels, 12 ft ceilings & transom windows). This 3 bed, 2 bath turn of the century beauty even has it's own registered Live Oak named after Miss Emma Shipp~& maybe , a great story or two... This home has a spacious fenced rear yard, private patio area and storage shed!! If you have dreamed of owning a Victorian Queen Anne with all of the amazing character and quality finishes-here you go!!
3 Bed 2 Bath 1,948 Sq Ft 0.36 Ac.
