About this home

The jewel of the historic Woodbourne District can now be your dream home. Set up high on a rise, this stately 9 room classic stucco beckons. The warm gumwood welcomes you in, offering a romantic ambiance. You will be captured by the grace of the fire placed front to back living room which opens to a sunroom on one side & a gorgeous wood paneled dining room on the other. This home was built in 1914 & was designed for entertaining. There is also a large office w/ private entrance & adjoining half bath on the first floor. While formerly a physician's home office, it would also serve well as a playroom for those w/ young children. Upstairs there is a huge master bedroom, a lge 2nd bdrm, a full bath & sitting room suitable as nursery, office or small guestroom. The 3rd floor offers a bdrm, vintage full bath & attic storage. The property requires renovation but will be well worth the effort & investment. This gracious home is enveloped by a large landscaped lot w/gardens & plenty of pkg.
