Why they chose this property
Everyone loves this home. It's size is stunning and the fact that it is an 11,000 sq ft home from 1897 is just mind boggling. The wrap around porch, the beautiful spacious rooms, makes it the perfect home for gatherings, business retreats, reunions, micro weddings, family dinners, or just a unique stay at a gorgeous mansion. It has 13 beds and 7.5 baths, a huge double island kitchen with two dishwashers, 10 parking spots (tandem), a nice backyard, a billiards table, huge dining rooms tables (3), and much more. Everyone enjoys this home, especially because you get the beauty of the character of the home but also the modern upgrades in the kitchen, central heat and AC, beautifully renovated bathrooms, and more.
