Built in the 1860's by Colonel Thomas Johnson of the Civil War era, this majestic brick Italianate design home sits on .75 acres of level, fenced-in property in one of Mt. Sterling's finest neighborhoods within the city's historic district and walking distance to shops and restaurants in the historic downtown area.

The home boasts 11-13 foot ceilings covering over 4,000 square feet of living space. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 bathrooms. This home has been expertly renovated and completely remodeled, keeping all the charm and character of an historic home in a bygone era... but with all the comforts, conveniences and security of a brand new home.

The plumbing and wiring throughout the house have been completely renovated and updated. There are new high efficiency heating and air conditioning systems upstairs and down and a new commercial size electric hot water heater. All of the windows have been replaced with custom made double-pane, easy-to-clean tilt out replacement windows, making for efficient and affordable heating and cooling of the home. All of the windows have either custom wood shutters or plantation shutters that will remain. The average gas bill is $175/month, electric is $90/month.

The kitchen is a complete renovation, complete with custom cabinetry, built-in storage and pantry, large center island with seating, granite tiled countertops and new appliances. Double french doors with large transom let in plenty of natural light and lead out onto the large, level, private backyard. Home is located within the city's historic district and is a short walk to downtown shopping and dining on the quaint, tree-lined and cobblestone streets.

The two full baths are complete renovations, complete with new fixtures, ceramic tile and new plumbing and wiring. There is an original clawfoot tub that has been re-glazed. A half-bath was added under the stairs, with slate flooring.

The home has brand new metal roof. The exterior brick was tuck-pointed and sealed and the attic insulation replaced in 2004. An extra large 2 car, 2.5 story detached garage was added in 2005. The dimensions are 24' x 30' and there is an exterior entrance and ample storage space, with room for an apartment or office on the second floor and additional storage on the third floor.

The character and many original features of the home remain, including heart pine hardwood floors, extensive moldings, ceiling medallions and fireplace mantles. There are six fireplaces - one working with vent-free gas logs (the others can be easily converted.) Much of the door hardware, including knobs and decorative jamb hardware remain.

This home has been lovingly and painstakingly restored to its original glory. The current owners are relocating due to professional opportunities out of state, and therefore must sell.

It's been used as a residential home, but may also make a lovely Bed & Breakfast for the budding entrepreneur!

Home is priced well below appraisal at $359,000.00.
