Property Description
Welcome to 1509 Francis Road, a beautifully restored historic home built in 1899, offering the perfect blend of original character, modern conveniences, and timeless charm! Situated on 1.07 acres, this one-of-a-kind property features 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, 1,764 square feet, and a detached 2-car garage with two additional storage rooms.
From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the inviting covered front porch, complete with double porch swings that pay homage to the home's history. Inside, natural light fills the thoughtfully renovated living spaces, where original doors, historic hardware, and architectural details preserve the character that makes this home so special.
Extensive renovations have transformed the main level into a more open, functional layout while honoring the home's original craftsmanship. Structural improvements, updated plumbing and electrical systems, new drywall, updated lighting, and beautiful flooring throughout provide modern comfort without sacrificing historic appeal.
The completely reimagined kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, updated appliances, a pot filler, beautiful backsplash, custom scalloped trim, and a charming built-in bench seat. A truly unique focal point is the custom range hood, thoughtfully crafted from an antique furniture piece dating to the same century in which the home was built!
Additional interior highlights include a beautifully updated bathroom with a newer tub, tile, and flooring, custom built-in living room bookshelves, a tankless water heater, updated interior finishes, and fresh paint throughout.
Outside, the 1.07-acre property offers room to relax, entertain, garden, and enjoy the changing seasons. The established landscaping comes alive each spring with more than 20 peony bushes, tulips, daylilies, irises, and an impressive rhododendron. A privacy fence adds functionality, while the detached 2-car garage with two additional storage rooms provides exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies, a workshop, or extra storage.
Even more special, this home has remained connected to the same family for generations, with the current owners tracing their family history within these walls back to the late 1800s. Lovingly renovated and carefully maintained, this property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with the updates and conveniences of today.
Historic homes with this much personality, thoughtful craftsmanship, and acreage don't come along every day. Come experience the charm of 1509 Francis Road for yourself!
