Built in the 1900s and previously owned by the Glasscock family, the house at 112 S. Bragg Ave. is now being sold by owner Elizabeth Ligon.

The circular drive holds ample parking for entertaining in a very large capacity. The front yard is spacious and flat for easy mowing while the back is landscaped with many beautiful hardwood trees, one of which was probably there from the start as it serves as its own form of art.

To the left the formal living area has adequate lighting from the tall but narrow windows and the fireplace is centered between two built-in bookshelves with cabinets; one side having a wide space for a television.

Encasing these two front rooms is intricate cornice with dentil molding while some entryways to other rooms have tall French-style arches which enhance the 11-foot ceilings.

The kitchen is lined with cabinet and storage space anyone would dream of having while the center island is perfect for the passionate cook to prepare meals or who loves to entertain having it serve as a buffet bar.
