From the Zillow listing:
This property offers a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to continue its story. While many original details remain intact, the home would benefit from thoughtful updates and restoration in several areas. For the buyer who appreciates historic architecture and sees the potential in bringing a classic Highland home back to its full beauty, this property offers the chance to create something truly special. As you arrive, you’re greeted by a striking circular front portico, framed by grand columns and topped with an upper balcony, setting the tone for what lies within. The exterior of the home features Shreveport siding, traditionally made from cypress and prized for its durability and historic character. It has been thoughtfully maintained and painted, along with a new architectural engineered shingle roof installed in 2017, a new upstairs HVAC system added in 2019 (First floor HVAC will need to be replaced), and a new hot water heater installed in 2025. Step inside and pause before moving forward. Look up and to the left, where the original Prescott family crest is still plastered above the fireplace, a rare and meaningful detail that anchors the home in its history. The foyer opens to rooms filled with warmth and stories. To the left, a family room where years of music once echoed through the space. To the right, a dining room that hosted countless shared meals and gatherings. From the start, you can feel it, this home is special.
