The Boxley 117 E. Hunter St., Madison NC 27025
The lovely Boxley Bed & Breakfast is nestled between the Dan River, and the quaint town of Madison, NC.
Inviting Covered Colonnade
Relax and converse with friends, guests and family on the spacious colonnade! A peaceful resting spot after a long day of activities in the Madison / Greensboro / Southern Virginia destination areas. The colonnade links the kitchen/dining wing of the home, to the main home, with a delightful southern charm.
Gourmet Kitchen with Pro-Grade Appliances
Thought to be the oldest part of the home, the 'kitchen wing' features this gorgeous & rustic kitchen with fireplace, custom cabinetry, commercial-grade appliances, and bar seating around the lovely island. Note the range hood was hand-crafted, using wood reclaimed from the attic. "The Hunter," guest suite with private entrance, is on the east side of the kitchen wing. (See link for additional photos.)
Formal Dining Room with Fireplace
Adjacent to the kitchen is this lovely formal dining room. The table easily seats 10 guests, and there's room for additional tables and seating if needed. Imagine lighting the gas fireplace for your guests, and serving a hot breakfast to start their morning. To the right (not pictured) are the silver room, laundry room and back kitchen, providing storage space, linen care and dish washing areas.
The Main Entrance
Step up on the porch to the double doors of The Boxley's main entrance! You will feel like you've stepped back in time, experiencing the original, rich wood flooring, crystal chandeliers, and elaborate trim and molding. To the left is The Hegwood suite, to the right is the grand Living Room, and at the far side of this photograph, you'll find the Solarium. The home is steeped in history and detail.
The Hegwood Suite
Situated on the main level of the home is The Hegwood Suite. Its focal point is the beautiful fireplace, trimmed with a lovely painted mantle, and rich with details. Notice the 'pillars' on either side of the fireplace; the Ionian columns and capitals are to scale, matching the home's grand front columns! Wide moldings and wainscoting adorn the walls, the 10.5' ceiling and 3-sides of windows offer fantastic lighting in this room. En-suite full bathrooms in this and all bedrooms, provide convenience for your guests visiting The Boxley.
The Living Room
The Living Room is the central gathering point in the home. Guests can convene here to sip a glass of wine and mingle, play the grand piano, and plan tomorrow's excursions. This room adjoins the "Sitting Room" (see link for additional photos), which offers a desk for catching up on the day's business, and more relaxing places to sit and chat or watch television. Back stairs from the Sitting Room lead to the Innkeeper's Suite which could be easily used as additional guest quarters.
Sun Porch
Centrally located, the Sun Porch offers a view of the back yard and the Colonnade porch. With shading from the back yard trees and porch, it offers lovely lighting for relaxation. It would be a magical place for children to play games or read, while winding down from a day of area activities. Simply a charming space!
The Webster Suite
The Boxley's second floor also boasts wonderful wide-planked hardwood flooring and tall ceilings, and The Webster Suite is no exception! Roomy, yet cozy, with gas-log fireplace, The Webster is one of 6 amazing bedrooms, complete with en-suite bathroom.
This home is perfect for an entrepreneur / investor as a TURN-KEY B&B business, an executive who likes to entertain, or for a family who wants to monetize their housing investment, and offer rooms for rent at their discretion.
Innkeeper's Bedroom
Innkeeper's Suite consists of this spacious bedroom, a library, an enclosed porch, and an exterior porch, off library. Create a home office space, and run your successful B&B from the Innkeeper's Library. These separate quarters give you and you guests the privacy needed for an enjoyable stay.
