The c.1885-built Kinard House offers 4 bedrooms/4 baths & has served its owners well as a comfortable, active Bed & Breakfast Inn for more than a decade. Painstakingly & lovingly restored from top to bottom, Kinard House offers 5000sqft and wins your heart from the street. This charming, renovated vintage character B&B is truly a pleasing eye-catching classic, from its distinctive & cheerful peach-pink exterior & Folk Victorian architecture to its lacy dentil accents, colorful metal roof & rich landscaping. An attractive front approach leads up to its concrete-floored wrap-around front porch. In traditional style, you are welcomed into a wide, tall entry. The informal 17x15 gathering Den beckons to your right featuring a graceful bowed window area. A formal 17x15 Parlor/LR on your left is graced w/ beautiful beveled glass French doors upon entry & another set leading to a grand 16x20 DR. Your private eat-in kitchen has gorgeous butcher-block counters, a large center island, gas stove, inset fridge, historical brick accent, & a handy walk-in pantry. The utility room w/ W/D, giant pantry cabinet & utility sink, sits privately off the kitchen. A Master Suite is located on the 1st floor, which can easily double as either the Owner’s Retreat or a special main floor B&B Suite. Private in the back of the home, this 15x13 bead-boarded room has its own full bath & easy step-in rectangular shower, walk-in closet & an adjoining private 15x13 lounge/LR w/ a gas-insert fireplace & French doors. Upstairs, another wide foyer provides comfortable common space for 3 more spacious 17x15 bedrooms, including another potential Master bed/bath combo w/ a cheerful bright bath that encourages you to linger & relax.
