Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975. That heritage isn't just a footnote — it's a marketing engine that no chain hotel or vacation rental in the market can touch.

New electric, plumbing, HVAC. Roof has been redone in the last 10 years-major upgrades abound. Can be offered fully furnished. Continued B&B operation, boutique event venue, or private estate. The building is restored. The market is proven. The story sells itself.
