Rooted in History, Ready for Your Next Chapter — A Legacy Home on Dufilho Road There are houses—and then there are homes like this: places where time slows, stories linger, and every corner feels like it was built for meaning. Set on a quiet stretch of Dufilho Road, this lovingly restored 2-bedroom, 2-bath home was never just a property. It was a promise—to honor the past while creating space for the future. In one family since 1933, it has been carefully brought back to life, updated with modern systems but grounded in its original spirit. Inside, the kitchen radiates warmth with African mahogany countertops, custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances that blend seamlessly into the historic charm. Longleaf pine walls, red oak floors, and original windows (painstakingly restored by hand) echo with craftsmanship you rarely find today. The primary suite feels like a quiet embrace, with soaring ceilings and a custom tub built just for this space. Outside, you're greeted by a canopy of oaks, curated garden beds, and a charming guest cottage—a full, private second residence with a bedroom, bath, kitchen, and living space. Whether for family, guests, or income potential, it's a rare and flexible addition that makes the property feel like an estate. Every update was done with intention: whole-home generator, new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, gutters, water softener, reverse osmosis, and beautifully preserved architectural elements. Even the brick pathways were reclaimed from the earth—uncovered and repurposed as an homage to the home's earliest days. This is more than a home—it's a legacy. For someone who wants not just square footage, but soul. Come see what it feels like to live in a place that was loved first, and renovated second.
