Property Description

This historical landmark tells of a bygone era perched high on the hill overlooking downtown Waverly. Enter into soaring 12ft. ceilings and an enormous formal living and dining room with a private front porch complete with a swing. The front of the home faces south as it was originally constructed. You can just imagine the extraordinary events that have taken place entertaining! Continue on into what was a Ladies Parlor with a fireplace. Next you will enter three large bedrooms each with a bath and fireplace of their own. The length of the east side features a covered porch. In addition there is a Gentlemen's Room that is separate from the house with a fireplace. Legend has it that Jesse James played poker here. The Nolan House was built in 1870 by James Nicholas Nolan, a Civil War veteran who served at Fort Hill. The house is a late 19th-Century vernacular home with Italianate and Queen Anne influences and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The original weatherboard section is embellished with dentil moldings and brackets. The interior contains many original mantels and moldings. Currently the home is entered on the north side of the home through a covered breezeway. On the south side of the breezeway is a completely separate living area w/ a large 10x12 room previously used as an additional kitchen. A large bedroom, bath and a sitting room or second bedroom. The kitchen features stainless updated appliances and continues into a laundry room featuring a wall of cabinets and drawers for kitchen storage. The grounds of the home are lovely featuring large level areas for entertaining around the home and boasts 8.7 acres of land. Privacy abounds and so does the wildlife with deer that were just visiting. There is a detached Carriage house/garage that was added in 2007 24 x 30 with high ceilings. This home and grounds have been used a private residence, a Bed & Breakfast, & a wedding venue. Let your imagination take over! Could be 8 bedrooms!
