Welcome to 12 Rutledge Avenue, a turn of the century Victorian in the sidewalk community of Rutledge. Walk down the quiet tree-lined streets of 12 Rutledge Avenue and you’ll immediately feel the difference here. You can breathe! Prepare to be captivated by the timeless features that define this Victorian gem, including a wraparound porch, stained glass transom, archways, built-ins, bay windows, Southern yellow pine floors bordered by Mahagony trim and a deep level back yard!
Flowering plantings line the walk up to the front steps, leading you to the covered Porch with original beaded board ceiling. Step into a fabulous first floor with open floor plan boasting 9-foot ceilings, crown molding and chair rail creating an atmosphere of classic charm. The light filled Living room has a decorative fireplace, and the Dining room includes a wide Bay window and built-in shelving. Flowing seamlessly from these spaces is an inviting Country Kitchen with natural wood cabinetry, single basin Farmhouse sink, tons of counterspace and tiled backsplash, gas cooking, stainless appliances; and it's right off the cozy breakfast nook and 1st floor Powder Room/Laundry. An extra Bonus Room (office/4th bedroom) completes the 1st level. The second floor includes a lovely Primary Bedroom at the front of the house, and two more bedrooms (one that rightfully could be 2). The gorgeous, tiled Hall Bath is a testament to the attention to detail found throughout the home.
The convenience of an elevated deck and a deep-level backyard awaits you through the back exit. Whether you have a green thumb or simply enjoy outdoor leisure, this expansive space offers endless possibilities for gardens and outdoor enjoyment.
The full basement is accessed from the first-floor bonus room. Set up your shop here…it’s unusually bright and clean.
