The Ballentine-Smith home: Own a piece of history on 5 acres with 7 additional acres available. This stately turn-of-the-century home took 5 years to build, and was finally occupied by the Family in 1900. With approx 3000 sq feet on the lower level and approx. 3000' on the second level, there is an additional approx 3000' to be expanded on the third level. The turret houses a rounded "Gentleman's Room" on the first floor and an office on the second floor. Both have sets of original curved windows. The office has the builder's signature initial "B" above the fireplace, and the 17 x 21 dining room features a fireplace and library paneling with plate racks around the room. Renovations are under way -- the kitchen has new cherry appliances, fixtures, & cabinets. There is a free standing iron h eater and brick hearth in the kitchen. Three large bedrooms are on the lower level and three bedrooms and an office are on the upper level - making a possible 6 or 7 bedrooms. Also an additional large room on the second floor was planned to be a media room. With high, smooth ceilings through out, wood floors & there is a new roof. You must come and see this mansion for yourself! (Are you thinking Bed & Breakfast?)
