Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) This gracious riverfront home has been featured on the Riverside Avondale Preservation Home Tour. Originally the home of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' attorney, the author of The Yearling visited many times. In the 80's Dr. Merrill Anderson and his wife Carol re-purposed the house as a Bed and Breakfast. At that time they added a large modern room with a fireplace as their sleeping quarters. This addition and its adjacent library and bathrooms could easily become a mother-in-law suite. For the past twelve years, the home has operated as a B&B welcoming such diverse visitors as the Commanding General of West Point and Gloria Steinhem. Its organic gardens have been featured in Southern Living, Delta Sky and numerous local publications. Numerous fruit trees and side gardens grace the deep yard leading to riverfront terrace. A working brass fountain and labyrinth are additional features. The home could be used as a private residence, a multi-family residence, a conventional or Air B&B.
