When you walk in the door you are impressed by the grand entrance and woodwork of this home. Surrounded with stately trees, built in 1904 by a mill owner who spared no expense in building the home with the best wood available at the time. This Edwardian home is located in the Solar Hill Historic District. The home features the original white oak woodwork and original mantles, grand staircase, and hardwood floors throughout, plus three claw foot tubs in the four bathrooms. The original wallpaper is in the foyer and living room from the 1930s from which the home got its name ''Rosebud''. If you only want or need one level (2 bedrooms), the second floor can be conveniently separated just by closing a door. The second floor can also be accessed by an outside entrance staircase. This opens many possibilities for the residence. A staircase off the second floor hallway leads to the finished attic space. This would make a great man cave, child play area, or out-of-the-way office. The home features a modern gas forced air heat system and replacement windows in most areas except for the historic front façade which are original. With ten-and-one half foot ceilings the house stays cool on warm summer evenings. Located close to downtown with a booming tourist industry. The new owner will have easy access to the Country Music Museum, bakery, restaurants and parks. The home is also a short drive from the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel with a growing job market and housing demands.
