The auction to sell the remaining items in the house is now going to private. If you would like to be invited. Please call the listing agent for info. We believe this home was built 2 years prior to the Civil War in 1853. It was eventually the home of Mary Florence Taney, famous author & community leader. It is an incredible home, loved & maintained by its current owner & local artist since 1985. This is a rare & special opportunity. It offers almost 5000 sq ft of living space. You will not believe the extensive millwork, the arched plaster moldings, the towering ceilings on all three floors, the 10-foot doors with 2-foot transoms, floor to ceiling windows with marble windowsills, 7 fireplaces, gorgeous pocket doors that work seamlessly, third floor cupola, gorgeous backyard & garden, original potting shed, one car garage, plenty of off-street parking & more. Years ago, it was converted into 5 luxury apartments without many architectural changes. The current owner was slowly converting it back to a single-family home but didn't quite complete the project. It could now easily go back to single or multi-family living.
