From the Zillow listing:

 

A timeless southern classic steeped in local history and classic southern grace, this four square designed home is a rare find for those who value architectural integrity. With its crisp, newly painted white shake exterior (Fall 2025) and commanding presence on a spacious corner lot, this home serves as an “unspoiled canvas” ready for its next chapter. The interior is a love letter to a bygone era retaining original features: hardwood floors, traditional staircase in a welcoming entry foyer, ten sets of French doors, authentic millwork, and fireplace mantle. A covered space designed for slow springtime evenings and neighborhood watching. A circular driveway with a classic porte-cochère. A private patio overlooking a garden landscape. Roof replaced within the last five years. This property is being sold as an estate and the heirs have not occupied the home in many years, they have limited personal knowledge regarding specific systems; however, the home’s “bones” and original features speak for themselves. Please note: Select rose bushes and a sentimental camellia are treasures of the family and will be removed prior to closing. Plastic garden shed in backyard and pendant light over breakfast table in kitchen does not convey. Disclosure: berried oil tank in back of home.
