Rare find in the Historic Azalea District in that it is all one level, absolutely no steps, including from the garage.

It was commissioned by the Finns, designed by famed architect E Davis Wilcox, and Recognized in the National Register as a contributing home to the Historic Azalea District. It qualifies to be on the National Register and as a Tyler Historic Landmark. It features minimum of 9’ ceilings throughout most of the home and super versatile floor plan for dining and living opetions! You approach from the sweeping circular drive to a beautiful large Southern style front porch (there is one in back too!). The foyer introduces you to spacious rooms, from the large formal living room with gleaming wood floors and the great room highlighted by brick floors and vaulted ceilings. The tap room was the original formal dining room and features a Colonial style caged dry bar and brick floors. Large open custom kitchen with soapstone counters features a 6 burner Viking gas range plus an additional electric wall oven. Let’s not forget the huge island with 4″ thick butcher block top, prep sink and pendant lighting. The kitchen is also highlighted by a built in hutch, large pantry and custom features such as plate racks and open storage. Off the kitchen is a short hallway to the garage that features a powder room and large laundry closet. The spacious primary suite features multiple closets, a sitting area and separate home office. The en-suite bath features more closets, double lavatories set in a marble counter and a soaking tub/shower combo. Secondary bedrooms are quite large with private en-suite baths and multiple closets. This home sits on a large lot with gorgeous landscaping! The backyard has been designed for you to sit out on the patio with your glass of wine and admire the roses, azaleas, blooming bulbs and crepe myrtles. Roof replaced in 2022
