This Southern Colonial house was completed in 1933 by Jimmy and Martha Ramsey. Mr. Ramsey, who worked for Imperial Tobacco, lived here until his death in 1979.

The current owners, Tom and Rondi Hewitt, moved in in 1980. They have nearly completed a total redecoration of the 2600 square foot house, including extensive kitchen renovation. The Hewitts have performed all of the work themselves.

Tom and Rondi were surprised to find during their first winter in the house that the fireplace had never been used.

With only two bedrooms, this house was designed for the childless couple who lived here for almost 50 years. Today, this design has widespread appeal for the increasingly common two-career couple who seek spacious and elegant living quarters but do not need several bedrooms.
