Rich in history and updated for modern comfort a homestead like this will only come along once in a lifetime, if your lucky….. Well guess what?! Its your luck day! This prominent piece of local history sitting on 20.4 +/- acres is now on the market and looking for a new owner to cherish its historical presence and appreciate the love and care that have been spilled into the property over the years to preserve its history and original character. Built by a retired confederate army captain in the early 1880’s, it’s an integral part of Henry County Local Legends such as rumors of a hidden tunnel and of course we all know the pair of homes as the “Jesse James Houses.” If the prominent history of this property isn’t enough to make you fall in love, the home and property itself will! With not enough space to tell you ALL about it hopefully these highlights will intrigue you. When this home was build it was the largest in the county. It’s style and features set it apart from all others. The high ceilings, large rooms, transom windows and separate gentlemen and ladies parlors to name just a few. In what used to be the gentleman’s parlor you will find floor to ceilings book shelves and the 10 foot original pocket doors that separate the space from the family room. While remodeling the kitchen no expenses were spared, that will be evident to you while admiring the glazed rustic cherry mission style cabinetry with traditional soapstone countertops, antique seeded glass, and undercabinet lighting combined with antiqued island and corner cabinet. Everything is top quality! Off the kitchen you will find the convenient and quite large pantry and laundry area with lots of storage, which is also serviced by the original butler’s staircase. On your way up the walnut stairwell the original carved newel will surely catch your attention and make you appreciate the original features this home has to offer. Upstairs you will find the bedrooms that are very spacious in size. Yet another unique feature you’ll find upstairs is the separate attic staircase that leads to ample storage space and there is a doorway to the old “widow’s walk” on the roof that you can go up on to enjoy the fireworks from town every 4th of July. Some of the most amazing features in this home that are worth noting must been seen to appreciate, such as the original hardwood floors, interior trim and transoms, original fireplace mantles with surrounds and the beautiful antique hardware throughout. Outside there are also many things worth noting; the original brick herringbone sidewalks, the original barn, 2 bay detached shop/garage, and the stocked pond. Saving the best for last the guest house! The guest house was built to scale of the original home and contains a kitchen, living area, full bath, as well as a loft style bedroom area. This cottage could have many uses such as guest house, a she-shed, a man cave, an Airbnb, a work from home space or whatever your heart desires. Now you may be wowed at this point but in the back of your mind concerned with owning an older home… think again because over the last several years this home has undergone many upgrades such as wiring, plumbing, electrical, insulation, water systems, chimney liners, new windows, new roof as of this year and lots of other renovations to modernize this home. I know you might hear this a lot, but you really truly do need to see this one in person to appreciate all it has to offer!
