Ferguson House”, who was a printer and friend to Edgar Allan Poe, dates to the pre-Civil war era and to this day exemplifies craftsmanship and architectural beauty. Its corner lot location in the heart of Church Hill is unmatched in the neighborhood with quick walks to The Roosevelt, Sub Rosa, Grisette and more! Stroll up the brick sidewalk and through the picket fence on your way inside where you’ll enjoy original mixed-width heart pine floors, 9’ ceilings, decorative fireplaces, original pocket doors and an abundance of natural light. The large foyer showcases the original staircase and landing along with three impressive newel posts. This area opens nicely to the oversized living/dining rooms offering plenty of space for everyday life and entertaining. The spacious kitchen has been fully updated with white cabinetry, granite counters, backsplash, farmhouse sink, SS appliances, spacious pantry, bar seating, and access to the screened porch. The porch steps down to a charming brick patio and from there you’ll enjoy the massive backyard and some convenient outdoor storage (ask about the ADU plans the seller had drawn up!). Upstairs you’ll note the three large bedrooms with the same original hardwoods found throughout. In the front of the home you’ll find the large primary suite with its own fireplace along with a stylish ensuite offering a dual bowl sink, tile floors, and a walk-in shower w/ glass door. The middle bedroom also offers a decorative fireplace and a sizable walk-in closet. In the rear of the home you’ll find the third bedroom with overhead ceiling fan/light and ample closet space. The hall bathroom boasts a classic clawfoot tub and on-trend finishes and sits next to the laundry area. You’re going to love the location, the history, the updates, and the tremendous outdoor space that’s difficult to find with city living!
