Its symmetrical façade is adorned with ornate woodwork including gingerbread trimmings around the windows and door, while the wrap-around porch boasts intricate railings and columns that speak to its storied past. A series of steps lead up to inviting double doors beneath an elegant transom window, flanked by sidelights. To one side rests a rocking chair, suggesting leisurely afternoons spent overlooking the manicured lawn dotted with shrubs and punctuated by tropical flora like palm trees—a nod to the area's subtropical climate. This picturesque residence captures not just architectural beauty but also conveys a sense of tranquility and historical significance.
