Defined by the grace & elegance of a home built in 1938, this Clarksville area charmer has the character & details of yesterday, yet provides the updates & openness required by many of today's savvy buyers. The original living area is located at the front of the home & features beautiful built-in shelving flanking a cozy fireplace which, in turn, highlights lovely cottage-styled storybook windows adding to the overall charm of the room. Original, rich wood flooring is in the living, formal dining, bedrooms & family room. The formal dining room is large & can easily accommodate a table seating of ten, possibly more. The original "swinging door" (think Dick Van Dyke Show) between the formal dining & kit separates the more formal front of the home from the casual family area & rear of the home. Remodeled approx 12 yrs ago, the kit features updated cabinetry, gas range, stainless appliances, wine fridge. There is a wonderful entertaining/serving butler's type pantry w/ wine fridge just off the kitchen heading into the family room. Large utility room off this area w/ an abundance of cabinets.

Soft exterior lighting illuminate the garden style front and rear gardens at night, offering a peaceful respite to begin or end the day. Lovingly updated and maintained, this 83 yr old grande dame is ready to accompany the new owner into the next facet of their journey in style.
