The Henry House, CIRCA 1907, is one of the earliest and most significant Southern examples of the Craftsman Bungalow architectural style. The classic roof and porch lines, decorative eave braces, arched openings, tapered columns, stucco cladding, and charming drive through porte cochere entrance form a beautiful facade. The approach to the home is equally lovely. An old brick path passes between ancient live oak and magnolia trees on the way through an expansive yard fringed in azaleas. Broad front steps, lit by copper lanterns, lead to an antique entry door that opens into a grand living and dining room featuring original wood floors and lighting, a wonderful fireplace, and views of Cane River Lake. From there, you make your way through a cozy den and into a fabulous gourmet kitchen which opens to a great room with a cathedral ceiling, living space, and eating area, as well as a wet bar and wine room. With 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, this house has room for everyone. The primary bedroom suite is especially impressive with a large and luxurious bathroom, two walk-in closets, a spacious laundry room, and a sunroom with a cathedral ceiling and private porch. The back of the residence enjoys relaxing outdoor living areas including tree shaded porches, brick patios, and a cooking pavilion. On one side, there is an attractive building with a long porch and gas lanterns that features a guest suite, 2 car garage, storage, and a prep kitchen, as well as an additional carport and a Cummins generator capable of powering the whole property. On the other side of the large yard are two quaint structures tucked amongst ornamental trees and plants. One could be a small guest cottage while the other is perfect for a playhouse or potting shed. There is also plenty of open space and lush landscaping surrounded by a handsome privacy fence. This incredible historic property is a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern luxury that must be seen to fully appreciate.
