A 1924 classic, lovingly restored and completely reimagined. Welcome to 3117 Semmes Street, a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home where nearly a century of character meets a full top-to-bottom renovation-done with care, respect, and an eye for timeless design. Much of the home's original heart pine floors were preserved and refinished to perfection, grounding the space in authentic 1920s charm. Brand-new energy-efficient windows, designed with grid patterns reminiscent of the era, flood the home with light while honoring its historic roots. Step onto the front porch, where the original beadboard ceiling and refinished oak decking invite slow mornings and evening conversations-sealed and ready for years of outdoor enjoyment. Inside, the kitchen blends vintage soul with modern performance. You'll find honed Carrara marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, factory painted cabinetry, a custom hood, gas stove, and high-end stainless steel appliances-a space that feels collected, warm, and effortlessly functional. The home's addition adds approximately 300 square feet, creating a show stopping primary suite. The bedroom opens directly onto the expansive back deck, while the spa-like bath features a rare 6-foot soaking tub, a walk-in shower wrapped in custom high-end tile, and a vintage-style exposed shower fixture that transports you back to 1924. A double marble vanity and walk-in closet complete the retreat. Two additional bedrooms and beautifully updated baths round out the interior, while solid wood interior doors-not hollow core-echo the craftsmanship of the good old days. Two decorative fireplaces remain as charming focal points, preserving the home's original character. Behind the walls, every major system has been replaced: all-new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, along with fire-rated drywall and new insulation on exterior walls, creating a home that's not only beautiful, but safer and far more energy efficient. Out back, enjoy a fully fenced yard with wood privacy fencing, ideal for pets and entertaining. The large deck is accessible from both the laundry/mud room and the primary suite. An extended driveway leads to a shed that has truly stood the test of time-now enhanced with a new concrete floor for storage or hobbies. The laundry/mud room also includes a large pantry, utility closet, and laundry sink, adding everyday practicality. This isn't a flip-it's a thoughtful restoration. A home that respects its past while living beautifully in the present.
