Rarely available in the quaint neighborhood of Old Eagle, this unique
and special house, built in 1908, is one of just five historic Eagle
homes original to the Town Center. The John Love House, which later
became home to the Hitching Post Bed & Breakfast, boasts infinite
original details attractive to any preservation design.
Stunning and incredibly well-maintained original hardwood floors, doors,
door frames and trim all anchor the notable home. Immaculate and
original antique glass windows, pristine original Italian tile
surrounding the fireplace, striking original hardwood dual pocket doors,
and an antique wood-fired stove and oven all beautifully accessorize
this exceptional house.
Positioned on a coveted corner lot spanning the space of 4 city lots,
the spacious property offers a main house, a 2 story 2 bed/2 bath
carriage house, and 1 bed/1 bath apartment situated above the oversized
3 car garage, as well as a large free-standing storage shed. Current
monthly rental income fetches $2,850+ (excluding main house & garage) or
this space can be repurposed as desired. The stately property is
surrounded with wrought iron fencing and privacy hedging. It also
features the quintessential large, covered front porch familiar to the
original time-period.
Inside the main house, expansive 10-foot ceilings, large bay windows,
ornate corner molding, original plaster walls, an authentic cast iron
radiator and a swinging-door between the kitchen and dining room all
showcase the historic home as the treasure it is. An intimate receiving
room greets guests upon their arrival and ushers them into the beautiful
living space with its original fireplace. The expansive dining room is
flooded with natural light from the bay windows, and the kitchen with
exposed brick and both original and modern appliances. There are 2
bedrooms with en-suites on main the floor, a large bedroom with en-suite
& kitchenette on the 2nd floor, and a finished basement.
