Property Description
Charm, Simplicity and Historical Appeal in a highly desirable cul-de-sac location, all here at the widely known Jenkins House. Part of the Underground Railroad, built in 1765 by abolitionist William Jenkins, this landmark property is now a perfect blend of character rich details & modern updates. You'll love the wide Pine, Oak and Douglas fir flooring, built-ins, exposed beams, and fireplaces in almost every room. The updated kitchen fits perfectly into this historic home, with cherry cabinets and granite counters. Master bed with full bath completely redone with vaulted ceiling exposing natural brick fireplace for those romantic evenings. The setting is simply glorious - with sprawling peaceful lawns and water views of the Skug river & nearby trail access. Extensive storage space in attic & bsmt. So many still young updates including windows, doors, roof, electrical, siding plus central air, painting, foundation sill and support beam improvements, you can move right in & enjoy!
