Site: Built in 1858 on lot #20 of Defiance's original plat, the home is nestled among other historical homes along wide tree-lined streets. It is conveniently located within a short walking distance to downtown, numerous historical sites, and the confluence of the Maumee and Auglaise Rivers. Formerly operating as "The Inn on Third", the two attractively decorated and handsomely sized areas of the home are perfectly constructed to accommodate a Bed & Breakfast. Two, 2 bedroom side by side areas with separate entrances allow both guests and the owner/operator privacy and comfort. For guests who enjoy the fresh air, the private courtyard and attractive gardens are a perfect respite.

Structure: Elegant historical detail is showcased throughout the home. Original hardwood floors circulate from room to room and are accented by craftsmanship from a time since passed. While the rich beauty envelops all who step through the doors of this timeless treasure, the home offers all the modern conveniences of a recently constructed custom home. In addition to the guest kitchen, the most discernible chef is envious of the innkeeper's food preparation area. There are separate living, dining, kitchen and bathroom areas, along with stairways to the second floor sleeping quarters. Mechanicals and infrastructure have been modernized, making this property practically worry free for its next innkeeper. This is truly an exceptional residence and a wonderful opportunity for anyone who wants to work out of their home and run their own business.

Offering: "The Inn on Third" was previously operated as a B&B and is currently serving as a single family residence. While it operated as a B&B, many local companies used it for out of town guests & consultants. The Defiance College found accommodations perfect for dignitaries and visitors to the community. Currently there is only one other B&B operating in the area and reservations are often difficult to be made. Demand in the area exceeds availability. It is hard to believe that this home has the potential to offer its owner the income necessary to cover the cost of ownership. Offered at $249,000. Financial information about the property is available by contacting Michael Boff, Re/Max Realty.
