This historic home is currently a popular bed & breakfast; however, is being sold as a private residence. Featured in Southern Living magazine and the Washington Post, this unique home is one of Roanoke's only structural brick homes. It can be sold furnished and the lower-level mother-in-law suite could easily continue as short or long term rental income.

Brand new energy efficient, historically-compliant windows throughout. Living area with gas logs. A 2020 addition of a 12’ by 16’ two-level deck on the back of the house gives the entry level and garden level outdoor living space. The upper level of the deck has an outdoor kitchen with natural gas grill and outdoor refrigerator. The third floor has three large bedrooms including master suite. An additional double vanity bathroom serves the two secondary bedrooms on this floor. Garden level is a mother-in-law suite, kitchen, laundry and walks out into the lower level of the deck. Bathroom has low curb shower and claw foot soaking tub. A private entrance leads out to alley parking for 6 cars. Outdoor shower for cooling off after a day on the greenway or trails. The outdoor shower includes a sink and toilet so could be used in the future as a pool house.
