A national treasure!! Historic 4 or 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home on 9.08 acres. The house is the home of the late General John Bell Hood a veteran of the Civil War. In addition to the historic features that have been restored, there is a six year old addition that brings the home into this century with all of the amenities that you would find in a brand new home. It is an absolutely amazing find! You cannot appreciate the home from my description or the attached pictures. You must see it for yourself. A kitchen that will please the most discerning culinary specialist, adjoining family room, rear wrap-around porch, large master bedroom/bath combination with whirlpool tub, Energy Star replacement windows and marvelous views complement this acreage. Wide plank flooring, dry stack rock foundation, timber floor joists, box door locks, drawers below window sills, large nine panel doors are some of the features that are so endearing! Charming is an understatement.
