Master bedroom has large cedar lined walk-in closet and built in bookshelves, dresser, and storage. Front four rooms were built in the 1840's and most of the remainder of the home was completed in the 1870's. There is one fireplace (that has not been used by the current owners) and period light fixtures, tall ceilings, interior wood shutters throughout, and hardwood flooring that has been refinished. Modern kitchen with custom built cabinets and all appliances including matching freezer and refrigerator. Outbuildings include a 20' by 24' barn with loft, a 20' by 20' garden shed (great for entertaining) with a 6' by 10' greenhouse and partially covered patio, a 24' by 24' workshop, a 9' by 12' log cabin, and a large, open, shaded deck. Property includes strawberries; peach, apple, pear, hickory, persimmon, and pecan trees; grape, blackberry, and raspberry vines; blueberry bushes; a large garden; and lots of shade trees. Lots of shade trees and perennial flowers. The rear yard, which has been referred to as a paradise, is surrounded on three sides by a tall chain link fence covered with honeysuckle for privacy.

The stately historic brick home was built in several stages, beginning in the 1840's and completed during the 19th century. The home is of Federal Flair with Victorian cottage influences. The home is made of handmade brick believed to have been made on site by slave labor. The home is made out of solid brick walls inside and out. It has been restored to retain and revive the simple life of the time in which it was built. It has served as a residence and bed and breakfast in recent years.
