Property Description
Welcome to Belleveeze circa 1840... a very unique & historically significant property in Madison County. Rich with history, updated additions providing modern comfort and plenty of land to call home. Tucked away on 7.31 acres is the original home, a Greek Revival Planter's Cottage. You'll feel the charm when you enter the driveway and view the hilltop home and the setting, which includes the original old 'Coca Cola barn and a guest cottage. An original brick pathway leads up to the generous front porch lined with boxwoods and beckons you to 'sit a spell'. Once inside the home, you will notice the perfect blend of old and new details. Numerous original fireplaces grace all the living areas, some with gas logs. Original Greek Key moldings surround the original doorways and windows and soaring 14' ceilings and dogtrot design give a nostalgic feel. The layout is traditional with the foyer flanked by the living room and the parlor with an adjoining reading room. These two rooms were previously used as the primary suite and bathroom. The reading room could be converted back to a bathroom if desired. A lovely formal dining room, a cozy den, a brick floored breakfast area, powder room and chef's kitchen are included in the original portion of house. The large, updated kitchen has granite countertops, custom cypress cabinetry, top of the line stainless steel appliances including double ovens and a cooktop with a griddle and a large island. There is a delightful pass-through window facing the den perfect for serving appetizers & drinks. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms with a jack and jill bathroom. A unique feature in each room is the original exposed brick chimney in the center. The huge enclosed back porch of the home is where the old meets the new. A small flight of stairs leads to a media room/den with lots of built-ins. Additionally this level includes a 2 car garage, bedroom, laundry room and bathroom. In keeping with the period of the original home, a clawfoot tub, pedestal sink and black and white subway tile shower were used in the bath. A separate flight of stairs takes you to the primary floor with a huge, vaulted ceiling in the bedroom with study/music room. Beautiful flooring, wood ceiling, oversized mantel over fireplace. Step through French doors to the wrap around porch, with sweeping views, which is screened on two sides. The bathroom and closet on this floor are equally impressive and include their own laundry room. Just outside the addition, a pathway leads to the inground saltwater pool area which is heavily landscaped for maximum privacy. There are several additional relaxing outdoor spaces including a gazebo and fire pit. Other wonderful outdoor features are the original brick-lined cistern, wisteria arbor, rose garden and a muscadine trellis. The old original barn is sturdily built and can house animals or equipment. Wrapping up this stellar property is a guest cottage in the far corner across the pond. It has an open floor plan complete with a kitchen with farmhouse sink, sitting area, bedroom space, deck overlooking pond, scored concrete floors and cypress beams. The bath has a clawfoot tub and corrugated tin for a farm feel. It has a separate driveway and parking and could be used as a rental unit. The entire property is not subject to covenants or restrictions. This property has SO MUCH to offer. There is nothing like this property in Madison County. It is truly one of a kind.
