The icon of Bethany. What began as the former telephone exchange building, which was built in 1940, the sellers built The Cove in 1980, using lumber and building materials, including stain glass, from a church in Illinois that was built in 1873, as well as flooring from the old Earl Harris house, a landmark residence, and many other historic buildings across the city. This house was built with an artist's hands, incorporating other master craftsmen. Miller Gerardy was the architect. Sitting on 3 city lots, this home is a sight to see. As you enter the home, you will notice the architectural craftsmanship of the ceilings and an inviting lanai with a waterfall. You will see the spiral staircase that leads to a bedroom loft with its own bathroom and closet. Notice the custom 2-way gas fireplace is present in the front room and in the primary suite. The kitchen is large with a desk area and room for a table. The formal dining area can accommodate a large dining table for those big family holiday dinners. With 5 bedrooms and at least 3 different living areas, there is plenty of room to spread out in this sprawling home. There is even a room with a kitchenette and bathroom with its own door to the outside. Being across the street from the college, this room would be ideal for a college student. Attached to the home is the beautiful Repunzel-esque tower that is definitely eye-catching. Ground level of the tower is a workshop with a vacuum system so you can get rid of the saw dust and always have a clean space for working. The upper level is perfect for a green house. Or for the avid reader, it would make a perfect library/reading nook or meditation room. Windmill works and pumps potable water! Would make an amazing and much needed B&B for the college and community or a chance for you to own and privately reside in a piece of Bethany history! You have to come see it to believe it! Appraisal proves 5000 sqft. Brand new roof, newer HVAC system.
