This home is on Highway 227 near the Highway 75 intersection in Geraldine. It was originally an old mill and was converted and decorated by the late Martin A Ables as his personal residence.  In his will, Mr. Ables left the 4 bedroom, 4 bath home and 2.8 acres to the First Baptist Church of Geraldine. Now, the church has decided to let the property go at auction.

As you approach the front of the house you will immediately notice the beautiful landscaping and the large front porch. The front doors opens into a foyer with old wood floors. To the right is the carpeted living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace. To the left is a large Dining room with built-in cabinets. This leads into the kitchen. In the far corner of the living room is a small staircase leading to a wood paneled office. The office has it’s own private bath and entrance into the spacious laundry room.

The large eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream with red Corian countertops and white cabinets everywhere, There is a gas stove top in the middle of the island and large built-in ovens for those who love to cook. From the kitchen we move into a paneled den area with beautiful built-in book cases. There is a small bar and bar sink in a closet area to the right. From that room we head down into an entertainment area that leads to a back room.

From the rear of the foyer we go upstairs. At the top of the stairs is a long wood floored hallway. To the left are bedrooms. On the right is a master suite. The bedrooms are carpeted and paneled half way up with a chair rail. The spacious bath is at the end of the hall toward the front of the house and features a corner shower. There are several built-in book cases outside the bath. Down several steps on the right side of the hall way is the upstairs master suite. The room is carpeted and features several unique light fixtures. At the end of the room is another full bath.

At the top of the main staircase is a loft area with wood railing and unique inlaid wood floors. From there you can access another office area with built-in shelves and cabinets. A ladder takes you up to a small observation area, the highest point on the house.

There is a paved driveway leading to the rear of the home. There, you’ll find a separate garage and workshop with concrete patio between.

This house has multiple rooms for entertaining, multiple baths for convenience, and too many luxurious features to mention.

This unique home and the 2.8 acres can be yours if you’re the highest bidder.
