5br - 4800ft² - Bed and Breakfast or Larger Home (Boonville, IN) (map for sale in Evansville, Indiana

Ever thought about opening your own Bed and Breakfast or do you just need a house with lots of room for your growing family? Could you be looking for investment property? Well, We have just what you are looking for. We have an older home built in the late 1800's for sale that has lots of history. It is two blocks off the square in Boonville, IN. It was once a Bed & Breakfast and they served a Sunday Brunch to the public. The house was once divided into two parts with two separate staircases. There was an apartment on the southern end of the house. Overall, the house features at least five bedrooms, and one other could be used for a bedroom or a reading room. The house has five bathrooms. The bathroom off the master suite contains two sinks and a clawfoot tub. The house has a working steam radiator system with over twenty radiators throughout the house and a Central Heating and Air system as well. It has ceiling fans through out the house and two large wooden staircases. For the past three years, we have heated the house with three well placed pellet stoves. It has a large living room about 30' by almost 15' with a fireplace that has gas logs. The dining room is 14' by 16'. There is a porch area in the front of the house that has been enclosed and can be used for a variety of purposes. When the house was a Bed & Breakfast, they served Sunday brunch here. We use it for an office. There is a sewing room upstairs off the master suite for all those special projects.
The master suite consists of two rooms with two nice size closets. We recently had over 31 energy efficient windows installed in the house. The windows in the house are 94" tall and now they open up for easy cleaning. The house has original wooden flooring and one room with carpeting. The kitchen area was expanded to meet the needs of a large family. The house had two small galley kitchens of 7' by 11' that we expanded into a 21' by 14' area by joining them together. It has two separate double sinks. There is lots of counter space and cabinets that can be moved or removed if desired. My wife does a lot of baking and we have need for space. There is actual room for multiple refrigerators and freezers as desired by a large family. A 20' by 9' screened porch was added to the back of the house and this allows you to enjoy all the seasons. It is screened in for the spring and summer and has plexiglass that will be installed for the fall and winter. Presently we are finishing up an enlargement of the laundry room. The new room opens up to the carport. The laundry room was 5' by 11' and we have expanded it by enclosing a 11' by 11' area, and enlarging the door opening to almost 6' and a step down. It is now paneled with a tile floor.
The house is enclosed with a six foot high wooden privacy fence and several brick walk ways. A 200 watt service box was recently installed to improve service. There is an above ground pool with large deck and slide, but this can be removed if requested. The house is a delight to decorate during the various seasons. During this past Christmas season, we had as many as 12 decorated trees on display. We are in the process of taking new photographs and invite you to make inquiries. You can call or text me at . Presently the back yard holds a clothesline for hanging out clothes, two swing sets and a large trampoline. There is a 10' x 10' metal building and the original carriage house which housed a carriage and two stalls for the horses. The mounting stone is still in the yard. There are lots of flower beds and shrubs. There is a large amount of storage space in the attic where there is actually room for four or more 15' by 12' rooms. The house even has a Widow's Walk.
I guess you could say we are motivated sellers because the family is growing older and desires a move to the country. We invite you to call or text and set up a visit. The house is located two blocks off the square in Boonville, and within easy walking distance of two grocery stores, the post office, and a easy walk to schools in the area. The City park is half a mile and again easy walking. It features picnic areas, walking trail, play grounds, and a Spray Park. The house is presently being shown by Ralph Smith Realty and Auction of Evansville. We invite you to call them and set up a visit. You will be glad you did.
