198 PETAL ROAD A wonderful opportunity to purchase a priceless historic landmark! Soldier’s Rest is on the National Register of Historic Places. There is a very deep post-Revolutionary War and Civil War history. Its location just off of historic Route 7 (now Main Street) and Route 340 has caused it to be a place to rest for centuries. According to DHR, The hone was previously owned by Col. Griffin Taylor (War of 1812 & connected to Jms. Madison), and Gen. Daniel Morgan (Rev War), has connections to Gen. Sheridan (Civil War) & it is thought that George Washington was connected to the old log spring house (remants) when he was a surveyor. Oh if these walls could talk. Agents, I will link the DHR registry under agent comments. Still a farm that has cattle on it, and hay, but has previously been home for horses as well. 22.5 acres in conservation easement. A new neighborhood borders the south side and Rt 7 bypass borders to the north. Classic barns, hay barn, cattle barn, machine barn, storage garage, and more. The northern pasture has black board fencing and gates. Everything needs work but they still have their charm of yesteryear and times gone by. This beautiful home has lots of original character, large doors with wrought handles and hinges, stunning fireplace mantles, hinged shudders & wood floors. Pulling up the circular side driveway, step onto the huge side porches and feel like you’ve stepped back in time. One porch (southern) is screened and one (northern) is open. The front porch isn’t used much and needs new steps & railings. The kitchen is quaint and functional and features a stone wall(back of the dining room fireplace). The dining room is centrally located, extra large in size (16x24) with a stunning fireplace, and it can accommodate a very large dining room table set. Ideal for entertaining! The front has a center hall and has two large formal rooms complete with moldings and each has a beautiful fireplace. The main staircase is in the middle of the home and is in excellent shape and it was recently painted. The rear of the home has a separate staircase also in great shape and it too was recently painted. There was a washer-dryer hookup put in the den/family room off the kitchen. Upstairs are 4 large bedrooms and a central room. There are 4 full bathrooms upstairs. 3 are under construction and unfinished. The 4th needs remodeling but is functional. Three (not original) built-ins were removed so flooring needs to be installed where they were but removing them did expose the original flooring underneath! Some spaces have been repainted and some have not. The home and property are being sold As-Is Where-Is so the NVAR clause must be used in any contract. The house is recently occupied by a caretaker so advance notice to show it is appropriate and appreciated. Limited exterior landscaping work is ongoing. The house faces and has wooded frontage on 1st Street but the driveway is located off of a side street in the neighborhood, Petal Rd.
