The story
GORGEOUS LAKEFRONT LADY IN HISTORIC INVERNESS! Imagine calling this gracious home your own. They don't make 'em like this anymore! Large .59 acre property on the lake with its own dock/boathouse downtown right in the middle of everything. Statuesque mature trees draped in moss add to the sweet southern charm of this lovely house featuring a wraparound front porch just calling out for tea parties and mint juleps. Enter the home to behold a magnificent arching staircase, real (original?) wooden floors and transom windows. Multiple fireplaces and an outside spiral staircase add architectural interest. A Mackenzie Childs bathroom complete with clawfoot tub increases the overall esthetic. Additionally, a back deck provides a perfect spot for BBQ’s and family gatherings while drinking in the fantastic lake view and watching children and pets play on the expansive lawn. This beautiful home needs TLC and restoration to bring her back to her former and future glory, but oh the bones! Like a slightly faded silent era movie star, she will mount a comeback with a new owner who appreciates her wit, charm, and potential to shine as a historic BnB, law office or as your own perfectly stunning residence! Per County Historical Resources, the property at 414 Lake St Inverness is known as the Baxter Morrison house. Lake Morrison is named after this gentleman.
