This lovely ''Southern Belle'' was built in 1863 and was known locally as the ''Steiner'' home, in recognition of Anita D. Steiner, a beloved piano teacher, community leader, and Scott Co. celebrity. It boasts 5/3, elegant hardwood flooring, crown molding, and high baseboards. Choose 1 of 3 covered porches, to leisurely sip morning coffee or to take in the breathtaking views. On the Main discover a cozy den w/ a gas fireplace; two bedrooms (one is ensuite w/ a private entrance); a family room; a kitchen adjacent to a formal dining room w/ gorgeous chandeliers that are original to the home; and a studio currently being used as a music room. Head up the original oak staircase where two ensuites await, each featuring tiled showers and flooring in the bathrooms. One suite offers a private entrance, gas fireplace, granite bath, and a den that could serve as a fifth bedroom. Conveniently, the laundry room is tucked within this primary suite. Outside, a covered pavilion/carport with stamped concrete awaits at the rear entrances, perfect for outdoor gatherings. A walled courtyard with beautiful street lamps adds to the charm and would be ideal for garden parties. Meticulously landscaped grounds boast stone garden beds and pathways adorned with Japanese maples, towering oak trees, and a variety of other ornamental trees. A comprehensive sprinkler system envelops the entire property, ensuring lush greenery and vibrant blooms all year. At the back of the property, there is a detached 2-car garage on the upper level and a workshop that is plumbed. This historic gem is just steps away from downtown Gate City's dining, shopping, and community events, that you can watch from your private balcony. With new attic insulation and newer heat pumps, roof, and siding, this historic home, tastefully remodeled twice, blends modern comforts with timeless charm.
