This property is a true gem for anyone looking to own a piece of history with all the modern amenities. The restored circa-1840 Greek Revival home on the Tankerhoosen River offers a blend of classic charm and contemporary comforts, making it perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Upon entry, you're greeted by the wide, original chestnut floorboards and hand-cut nails that set a historic tone. The first living room offers radiant-heated floors and a gas fireplace for a cozy ambiance, ideal for cold evenings. From there, the spacious, well-equipped kitchen offers a seamless blend of functionality and style, featuring custom cement countertops, a deep sink, French doors, a wine fridge, and a built-in wood fired pizza oven, making it a dream for any cooking enthusiast. The adjacent Butler's Pantry, with exposed beams and wrought iron cabinetry, adds an extra touch of vintage elegance with added modern amenities like radiant heat and a garden window, perfect for plants. This leads to the formal dining room, with space for a long table, dental molding, and a warm atmosphere fit for hosting family and friends. The second living room, with a rustic island and "All Nighter" stove, provides even more cozy gathering space and connects beautifully to the Butler's Pantry. In addition, enjoy the custom wainscoting throughout and the wood ceilings. *See additional description below. For a stunning view of the Tankerhoosen River and waterfall, the breezeway with French doors serves as an elegant front entrance with a glass roof covered porch. The lower level, previously a game room and movie theater, is fully finished and offers diverse possibilities, with three rooms, exposed brick, a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and even a gun-safe room. The upper level offers four bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite designed for relaxation and wellness. With a steam shower, sauna, jacuzzi tub, towel warmer, radiant heating, skylights, original flooring, and room for gym equipment, the suite is a true spa retreat at home. The outdoor space completes this serene property with an inground pool, pool house, fire pit, pergola, outdoor TV, and private beach along the river. Additional amenities like a fenced yard, two-car garage, storage shed, and spacious brick paver driveway make this property as practical as it is breathtaking.
