1896 home teeming with possibilities
Property once an inn, later hotel with guest cottages.
This historical property, originally built in 1896, was once an inn. Located on the National Road, it later became a hotel with guest cottages, one of which remains and the other has been converted to a garage. Zoned as a business, it could be used as both a residence for single and multi-family units with an attached business. It is in the Northeastern Local School District.
A gravel drive and parking area is next to the two-story, brick- and-wood-sided home. The front door is flanked by side lights and topped with a transom window. A side entry connects to the parking area. The main house has wide moldings and decorative moldings around most doorways.
Inside the front door is an entryway with wood floors and a ceiling light. To the right is a formal living room with a gas fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. This room also has luxury vinyl tile flooring.
To the left of the entry is another living area with gas fireplace surrounded by a wood mantel. There is an exterior door that opens to a walkway leading to the gravel drive in this room. It also has wood flooring.

The hearth room is open to this room and has tile flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, wood beamed ceiling and chandelier. There is a built-in wood bin and cabinet adjacent to the hearth and fireplace with wood mantel. Because this was once a business, the kitchen flows through adjacent rooms. The first has wood cabinets and paneling, a brick accent wall, another decorative chandelier and a dishwasher. The adjacent room has a refrigerator, wall oven and built-in cabinets, as well as several pantry closets.
A laundry area with washer and dryer, cabinets and a sink is also located on the first level.

A third bedroom has a gas fireplace with wood surround and mantel and built-in cabinets and double closets.
An addition to the main house is on the back, and there is a finished room connecting the two with decorative ceiling light and painted wood floors. There are additional bedrooms in the addition, with newer wood flooring and double closets. A paver patio on the side of the main house connects to an entry for the wood-sided addition.
The property has a carport, three-car garage, attached and detached garage and a farm building. The yard is partially fenced, and there is also a storage shed.
