Not many 1820 homes come on the market and certainly not as pretty as this one. This two-story Greek Revival-style house, known as the Henry Beasley House, c. 1820 is sheathed with weatherboard and filled with charm and character. The two panel entrance door is surrounded by transom and sidelights. The first floor windows are nine-over-nine double-hung sash and the second floor windows are nine-over-six, most with original wavy glass, with fluted surrounds and Greek key motifs at the corners. Heart pine floors throughout all the main areas are in great condition showing off the natural beauty in the wood. The center hall/foyer is wide with high ceilings and plenty of room for displaying large antiques. The formal living areas on each side of the front door offer plenty of entertaining space with beautiful architectural features. A new chimney has been built on the left side, which helps set up the spectacular over 6' tall ornate mantle. The fireplace on the right side/den area is currently being used for a wood-burning fireplace. The large formal dining room features a ceiling medallion with prominent hanging chandelier. This room is perfect for entertaining a large gathering. The kitchen on the back has been recently renovated to include new appliances and island. Upstairs can be accessed from the back entrance or from the front foyer. Here you'll find 4 large bedrooms, tons of natural light, a full bath with access to the upstairs front hall and the back landing. The laundry room is located downstairs off the kitchen. Outside features includes a beautifully crafted water feature, 5' tall black coated chainlink fence, and a two-bay, two-story garage with workshop. Protective covenants are attached to the deed with Preservation NC. This is a contributing building in Colerain's National register Historic District, making it eligible for historic tax credits.
