About This Property
Rarely found available in the quaint neighborhood of Old Eagle, this unique and special house built in 1908 is one of just five historic Eagle homes original to the Town Center. The John Love House, which later became home to the Hitching Post Bed & Breakfast, boasts infinite original details attractive to any preservation design. Stunning and incredibly well-maintained original hardwood floors, doors, door frames and trim all anchor the notable home, while immaculate and original antique glass windows, gorgeous pristine original Italian tile surrounding the fireplace, striking original hardwood dual pocket doors, and an antique wood-fired stove and oven all beautifully accessorize this exceptional house. Positioned on a coveted corner lot spanning the space of four city lots, the spacious property offers a main house, as well as a two-story one bedroom/one bath carriage house, a one bedroom/one bath apartment situated above the oversized three-car garage, and a free-standing and large storage shed. The stately property is surrounded with cement block and wrought iron fencing, as well as tall privacy hedging. And it features the quintessential large, covered front porch familiar to the original time-period of the home. Inside, expansive 10-foot ceilings, large bay windows, ornate corner molding, original plaster walls, an authentic cast iron radiator and a swinging-door between the kitchen and dining room all showcase the historic home as the treasure it is. An intimate receiving room greets guests upon their arrival and ushers them into the beautiful living space with its original fireplace. The expansive dining room is flooded with natural light from the bay windows, and the kitchen with exposed brick, a sizeable pantry including a window, and both original and modern appliances, provides for convenient living. Two bedrooms, both with ensuites, highlight handsome original trim and cabinetry details that are found only in homes of this period.
