The National Register says this was “Built before 1905…a Georgian door surround with a broken pediment, and a balustraded balcony were added after 1931.”
Ok only two questions, why all the grey and what’s with the fireplace in the bathroom?
Chestatee, GA
I imagine it’s painted that way for the sale. The bathroom most likely wasn’t always a bathroom, the fireplace was once in a normal room.
Upstate, NY
At least they had the good sense to refrain from the all too frequent and unfortunate white-out – I like it!
CA
More accurately the question should be, “What’s that bathroom doing around the fireplace?” I am sure the fireplace was there first. LOL
Originally built by Lewis Fripp as a single story cottage in 1889, this house has been expanded and remodeled several times. Historical references show the second floor was added in 1912, and the portico around 1962 by Dr. John Hiott, during a conversion from apartments to a single family residence, giving the house its distinct Classical Revival look.
Thanks, that explains the overall remodeled feel of the interior. Considering all the changes they’ve done a remarkable job of creating the look of a classic southern mansion. I suppose a Gone with the Wind inspiration is preferable to the earlier Lost Cause idealogy but the urge to add giant columns remained.
Love it. I’ll take it….immediately!!!
I don’t want to be critical but that bathtub would have to be all white for me. There is nothing else as comfortable for visiting (to me) as being able to relax on a Southern front porch with friends.
According to this wikipedia entry this was originally a one story house:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fripp-Fishburne_House
Beautiful wood floors. I think the fireplace in the bath room is pretty cool.
A beauty love every inch of it.
ooh my southern dream home!
This would be fun to decorate and bring out the charm
