| An extensive renovation equipped this 3539 square foot home with modern conveniences without losing that old time charm and character. A large wrap front porch invites visitors inside to enjoy the hospitality and elegant surroundings. Throughout the house are the original heart of pine floors, seven fireplaces and lovely Waverly window and bed treatments.
The Ivy has been a bed and breakfast for 10 years and is well established with a high rate of repeat guests. There are four second floor guest accommodations. Two rooms have private baths while the remaining two guest rooms share a bath located between the suite. A third private bath is possible by closing off one room of the suite. A second floor laundry room with small refrigerator and coffee pot is available for guests.
The owner’s quarters are fabulous and comfortable, offering the privacy one desires while maintaining easy accessibility to the guests. A large 27x11 sun room/family room is the centerpiece of the owner’s quarters. An adjacent 28x10 deck offers lots of privacy overlooking the beautiful backyard. A large bedroom with fireplace, an office area and private bath with oversized claw foot tub round out the private owner’s area.
This property is in excellent condition with all plumbing, electrical and heating/cooling systems replaced and updated during the renovation. Recent improvements include sprinkler system, interior/exterior painting, driveway gravel and landscaping.
Also situated on this property is a two and one-half bay garage measuring 28x36. This garage was constructed with expansion in mind on the second floor, possibly a guest suite or separate owner’s quarters. A 256 sq. ft. third building, at one time, used as servant’s quarters is also located on this property. This building was previously used as an art studio by the prior owners, but could be made into a guest cottage. |
