Step into the rich history and character of this early 20th-century American Foursquare, ideally located just a short walk from College Street and the former site of Bowling Green Business College. Built between 1902 and 1910 on a solid limestone foundation from a local quarry, this two-story brick home was originally a boarding house and retains many of its original architectural elements. The welcoming front porch leads you into a spacious double parlor and formal dining room featuring leaded glass windows and 8-foot paneled pocket doors. The first floor also includes a beautifully updated kitchen with antique glass cabinet doors reclaimed from a historic Franklin home, a large walk-in pantry, and a cozy keeping room perfect for morning coffee. A master suite was added in 2013 and includes a private bath with double vanities, a walk-in closet, and access to the rear deck and ramp overlooking a charming flower garden. Upstairs, you ll find four generously sized bedrooms centered around a wide hallway, once designed with in-room sinks when the home served as a boarding house. In more recent years, major renovations brought modern comfort without sacrificing original character. Updates include central heat and air added to both levels (first floor in 2013, second floor in 2020), a new roof (2022), and refinished hardwood floors throughout. Other unique touches include a hand-painted trompe l oeil mural in the living room and foyer, repurposed crown molding from original wood columns, antique chandeliers sourced over time, and thoughtful preservation of period details. Whether you love historic homes, want space to entertain, or appreciate timeless craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Bowling Green history.
