Welcome to the Finley House, a truly special historic home built in 1883 and situated on .7 acre. Homes like this are seldom available. From the standing-seam metal roof and scalloped siding to the beautifully established landscaping, this home has a storybook presence. A concrete driveway provides guest parking and leads to multiple garages, while a stone walkway welcomes you to the front porch. Inside, hardwood floors lead to the dining room and spacious living room with walls of windows. The kitchen is the heart of the home with painted wood floors, custom cabinetry, pantry, granite countertops, honed-granite island, breakfast area and access to the rear patio. The mudroom offers driveway access, a full bath with laundry and entry to the main-level primary bedroom. With a large closet and second access to the rear deck, this flexible space could also serve as a family room or home office. The staircase holds a piece of Waynesville history with a banister from the historic Hammel House Inn and hand-stenciled steps. Upstairs are four additional bedrooms and a full bath with claw-foot tub and vintage sink. A 13x28 heated and insulated garage is currently used as a workshop and offers possibilities for a studio or guest space. A 24x27 two-car garage connects to an additional 27x16 workshop, providing exceptional storage, hobby or home-business space. The backyard is a private retreat with stone walls and walking paths, mature trees, koi pond, covered patio, flowering arch, stone dining area, mini pool and beautifully planned landscaping. The home was extensively renovated in 1999, including electrical and plumbing updates and most windows. See detailed home history and 3D tour. The Finley House is more than a home. It is a piece of Waynesville history, thoughtfully cared for through generations and ready for its next chapter. What an honor it will be to become the next caretaker of this remarkable property.
