Gladys House is a beautiful farmhouse located in the Cumberland Homesteads Historic District. The 1800 square foot home is situated on a 28 acre working cattle farm. It is surrounded by countryside consisting of neighboring farms with rolling pastures and a mountain view. Relax and enjoy a bit of history in a scenic rural setting. The space Hand crafted from stone and hardwoods collected from the surrounding acreage, this charming four bedroom English style cottage retains many of its original features including hardwood floors, stone fireplace, vintage bathtub, unique door hardware, and is comfortably decorated with a mix of vintage heirloom homestead pieces and farmhouse decor. The main floor has central heat/air, a stocked kitchen with up to date appliances, dining room, living room with a large smart TV and gas logs, spacious master bedroom with private bath, an enclosed porch/utility room is located off the kitchen with a washer, dryer, refrigerator, and coffee station, a hall bath with the original cast iron tub which has been restored, and a 2nd bedroom. The 2nd story has its own central heat/air system and a 3rd and 4th bedroom with sloped ceilings. . Guest access The entire home and 1 acre yard excluding the garage and cabinets on the enclosed porch/utility room. There is an outdoor picnic table and chairs. A gas grill is available upon request. Due to the nature of cattle, we do not allow guests to enter the pastures or barns. However, the cattle can often be seen in the fields bordering the house, as well as deer, ground hogs, foxes, turkeys, squirrels, and other wildlife. The cattle usually come up from the back pasture in the late afternoon. 2024 calving season will begin late March and continue through April and May. Other things to note ADDITIONAL THINGS TO NOTE: There is paved parking in the rear close to guest entrance. There are various steps as you enter the main floor. The master bedroom has a tub/shower combination and the second bathroom has a tub (no shower). The home has had many updates over the years which has made it more comfortable for modern day living, yet it has some quirks. The refrigerator and a second dining table are located in the enclosed porch/utility room next to the kitchen. The home is on city water, but there is an attached well house on the side of the house that we must attend to during freezing weather. This amounts to me or a family member turning on/off a heat bulb from an exterior door on the well house. The gas logs are only available during cold weather. Ladybugs love this house and find their way inside. Bed quilts and some decor will change with the season and might not be exactly as pictured.
