Built in 1820 in the Federalist style, our farmhouse sits on one acre of partially wooded land directly across the street from the Neshobe Golf Course. The house has 3 bedrooms (sleeps up to 6), two and half baths, a kitchen, a dining area, a library, a sitting room, and a media room. The house’s greatest claim is an original mural hand painted by Brandon’s long-term artist-in-residence, Warren Kimble. The Nest (pictured as bedroom #4) an outbuilding that sleeps up to 4, can be rented for an additional $60 per night.
Our house is a very special place and we absolutely adore it. It's a quintessential New England home with wide-plank floorboards, a clawfoot tub, large windows and a wood stove in both the library (gas-powered) and the kitchen (wood). But it's also an old home with some old-time, quirky features - most notably the stairs.
Stairs: The house has two flights of stairs - one at the front of the house (normal spacing) and one at the back of the house (particularly narrow and steep.) Anyone with unsure footing should avoid using the back stairs. Babies/toddlers should not be allowed near these stairs and the elderly should exercise caution.
Bathrooms/Showers: We have two and a half baths. The full bathroom on the second floor is quite lovely with wainscoting, a step-in shower and a clawfoot tub that overlooks the side yard and back woods. A perfect spot to take a long soak at the end of the day! The shower in the first floor bathroom is particularly small and is more suitable for children. In time, this shower will be updated. But the water is hot and the pressure is just right! A big plus after a day at the lake or up on the slopes.
Air conditioning: There are air conditioning units in all 3 bedrooms of the main house in addition to one unit on the first floor. The Nest is also equipped with an air conditioning unit.
