Welcome to "The Farnum House" Circa 1795 Federal-style Antebellum house. Steeped in history, this majestic 18th century home has been meticulously and lovingly cared for throughout the generations. Flowering azalea bushes and 500+ year old southern live oaks, draped in Spanish moss and resurrection ferns, shade a manicured front lawn. Upon walking up onto the large covered porch and entering through the double front entry, to your right through double doors stands a music or receiving room with ornate ceilings, molding, and fireplace. To the left is another receiving room. 11 ft ceilings feature throughout the entry and living areas. The home has 3 spacious bedrooms, each appointed with their own fireplace, 2 full bathrooms featuring cast iron clawfoot tubs, and one-half bath. You will be delighted to find a modern, updated kitchen added after home was built (unknown date), with granite counter tops, large gas range, recessed lighting, large farm sink, and walk-in pantry with plenty of storage. The formal dining room boasts a stately fireplace, and there is a separate, more intimate eating nook for casual dining. The owner's suite is on the main floor, featuring a full on-suite bathroom and a private enclosed porch area. The original staircase leads to the upstairs balcony overlooking the front gardens with the moss-covered live oaks, azalea bushes, and "angel garden.” This house has a new roof, newer HVAC, irrigation system, and new electrical upgrades. The grounds include a cabin or guest house with a full bathroom, HVAC, and new plumbing, a smoke house, raised vegetable beds, a fenced garden, fruit trees, pecan trees, blueberry bushes, fig trees, persimmon trees, flower gardens, a large chicken house, and a greenhouse, perfect for homesteading. An additional building with HVAC, gutters, and separate electrical is also located on the property, which could serve as a farm shop or be used for various other needs, such as a wedding venue, hosting place for gatherings, or simply a barn for farm life.
