Nestled on a picturesque corner lot along historic South Samuel Street, this home blends period elegance with thoughtful modern upgrades—inside and out. The freshly painted stucco exterior, restored standing seam metal roof, and repointed stone foundation set the tone for what’s to come.

Two original 2/2/2 floor-to-ceiling windows with antique glass add to the home’s captivating curb appeal.
