Property Description
Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the historic town of Wartrace, Tennessee. This grand, Italianate brick mansion was custom-built for the town’s mayor, B.W. Blanton in 1875. Mr. Blanton was a respected Navy Captain during the Civil War, and a respected Wartrace merchant, owning and operating the Blanton Store on Main Street for many years. This is a rare opportunity to own a time-capsule, with all the original features still intact. This immense home and guest house is situated on just shy of 1 acre, overlooking the town’s Main Street district and countryside. The property offers mature trees, a large private backyard with two small original outbuildings. The home is walking distance to all the charming shops along Main Street. The elegance of this home is perfectly sighted away from the street and offers supreme privacy. The main house boasts a total of 4,664 SF. The brick guest house is a 1BD/1BA, and a spacious 807 SF, perfect for in-law quarters or possible air-b-b. Details include a formal foyer with a grand staircase, original fireplaces in every room with cast-iron mantles, original doors & hardware, beautiful wood trim and wood floors. The natural light this gracious home offers through the massive arched wood windows is unmatched by contemporary homes built today. Banquet sized hallways with ceiling heights reaching over 12 FT tall. With this property, you can have it all; the grand presence of the old “Mayor’s House” and the history to match it, 4+ Bedrooms, a study/library, formal dining room, living room and a charming guest house to match it within a few steps from the main house. This home has been loved for the last 150 years by a small number of families over the years. The massive stoutness and incredible construction are a testament to why it still stands today. It is time for the torch of this historic home to be passed on. With your vision, love and appreciation, its historic legacy can live on. Home is in need of repairs.
