197 Morrison Ave

This 1860 Gothic Revival single family on the National Register of Historic Places features stunning period detail, modern updates, and inviting gathering spaces. When you step into the home take in the soaring ceilings with picture-rail crown... molding, the light reflecting wide pine floors and the oversized wavy glass windows that were restored in 2019. The main floor presents a stunning foyer, the open plan living area featuring a fireplace, and an attached den with vintage pressed ceiling tiles and a glass-paned door opening to the stately front porch. Beyond the living room you'll find the large eat-in kitchen with center island, custom cabinetry, & a window seat, plus the ½ bath, laundry room & screened-in porch. On the upper level you will be delighted by the spacious library with a feature window, two generously sized bedrooms with very unique transom windows at the floor, and the modern full bath. The amenities in this urban oasis abound and include central air & garage parking.
