This beautifully restored 5 BR, 5 BA Victorian home is situated on +/- 5.191 acres. It is constructed of heart pine and classified by the National Register as a Carpenter Eclectic Victorian with Eastlake and Queen Anne elements.

The original portion of the house was constructed in 1893 and then added to in 1903, increasing it in size to +/- 5500 sq ft (tax roll sq ft).

The home's interior is painted with colors original to the home and period wallpapers have been used.

Window treatments are also correct for the period.

• center hall,
• two bedrooms with two baths,

• three bedrooms with three baths,
• a fourth room that could be used as a bedroom,
• permanent stairs leading to the attic over the main part of the home
• The fourth room can open into the largest bedroom to make a 3 room suite of approximately 750 sq.ft. The additional room also opens to the second story gazebo, an open porch, on the front of the home. Second story gazebos are not common in the south.

The old tobacco barn and is wired and plumbed for a kitchen and bath. It could be restored and used as additional guest rooms or a conference/party/wedding area.

The old carriage house, believed to have been built in 1903, has four bays and a tack room that could serve as a detached garage, converted to additional guest rooms or into a conference/party/wedding area. There is a hay loft/storage area running the entire length of the structure above the bays and tack room.

Also on the property is a large livestock barn. It has six enclosed horse/mule stalls in the center with open, but under roof, areas to either side and the back. The back open area reaches to the center peek of the roof line and is about 30 feet in height. There is also a walled area above the interior stalls which was most likely a hay loft.  Wedding planners have suggested repairing the barn and rented for weddings, parties, etc.
