Outside, the 1.07-acre property offers room to relax, entertain, garden, and enjoy the changing seasons. The established landscaping comes alive each spring with more than 20 peony bushes, tulips, daylilies, irises, and an impressive rhododendron. A privacy fence adds functionality, while the detached 2-car garage with two additional storage rooms provides exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies, a workshop, or extra storage. Even more special, this home has remained connected to the same family for generations, with the current owners tracing their family history within these walls back to the late 1800s. Lovingly renovated and carefully maintained, this property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with the updates and conveniences of today. Historic homes with this much personality, thoughtful craftsmanship, and acreage don't come along every day. Come experience the charm of 1509 Francis Road for yourself!
