Welcome to Box Holly Cottage! Imagine stepping back in time to a beautifully preserved home circa 1899. As you approach this 3-story brick Georgian Home, the natural stained millwork and columned front porch welcome you, evoking a sense of craftsmanship rarely seen today. The house features a distinctive gambrel roof, now topped with grand manor shingles installed in 2010, adding a touch of modern durability to its historic charm. Upon entering, the warmth of knot-free cypress woodwork greets you, complemented by hardwood floors that stretch through the entire home. Twin parlors, separated by a large, amazing foyer and elegant French doors, showcase intricate natural wood finishes and invite gatherings or quiet moments of reflection in a setting filled in light from large, bright windows. Though the home retains its 19th-century elegance, modern updates have been seamlessly integrated. The kitchen, renovated and equipped with a mini-split AC system, offers a comfortable blend of history and modern convenience.
