This 1950’s 5 bedroom, 3 and a half bath, brick ranch home was first owned by Dr. William “Buck” Fowlkes Jr, who practiced general medicine in Wendell. In the 1960s, Dr. Brashear and his wife purchased the home and provided 45 years of medical care for the community in the little white house across the creek. The home offers amazing entertaining abilities with a courtyard-style patio area that 2 different points can access the main living areas providing great flow for large parties. The wrap-around driveway allows guests easy access to and from the property. The home needs some updating but has great bones - from the wormy chestnut tongue and groove paneling to the oak wood floor throughout most living areas. You’ll appreciate the craftsmanship of the built-in china hutch in the formal dining/living room. The family room has a wood-burning elevated brick fireplace with an indoor/outdoor accessible wood box and large windows that add lots of natural light to the room. The wood drop beams accent the 9-foot ceilings, which match the wood mantle that sits above the fireplace. The 2 car garage can be used for indoor entertaining with heat and cooling ability and a built-in wet bar. There are 2 master bedroom options, 1 downstairs and 1 upstairs. The downstairs master bedroom and bath can be used as an in-law suite, or an air BnB, as it has a separate entrance off the patio courtyard. The home is approximately 2938 sq feet of living space and approximately 1000 sq foot unfinished basement with just under 8-foot ceilings with endless possibilities for storage, work out areas, craft room, rec room, etc. The stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen will come with the home.
