**Cross-posted from Commercial MLS as it is being sold as an active Bed & Breakfast** A rare opportunity to own an award-winning, turnkey bed & breakfast in the heart of historic Huntington. Built in 1859 by Samuel H. Purviance, this exceptional 4,200-square-foot Italianate brick home blends timeless architectural elegance with the modern amenities and infrastructure needed to continue operating a successful hospitality business. The inn was honored with the 2025 Hoosier Hospitality Award, recognizing its outstanding guest experience and commitment to excellence. Rich in period craftsmanship, the home showcases original woodwork throughout, stunning 1892 hardwood floors, a magnificent solid cherry spiral staircase in the grand foyer, and a 42-inch solid wood front door with beveled leaded glass and original strap hinges. Designed for hospitality, the property features three spacious guest suites, each over 500 square feet with private or ensuite baths, plus a comfortable owner’s suite complete with a private living area, bedroom, bath, and generous closet space. The remodeled kitchen (2015) is well-equipped with updated appliances, including a refrigerator, range, and microwave (2015), plus a newer dishwasher, washer, and dryer (2023). Major infrastructure updates provide peace of mind, including updated electrical and plumbing (2015), dual furnaces and central air systems with semiannual maintenance, dual inline 50-gallon water heaters (2016 and 2026), a Kinetico water softener system, and four fireplaces‹”three gas, one electric‹”all professionally maintained. Original windows have been carefully restored and protected with storm windows, while the exterior was professionally painted in 2015 in accordance with City of Huntington Historic Review Board and Indiana Landmarks, with paint specs on file. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive, featuring beautifully maintained landscaping and an arboretum planted in 2017 with mature fruit-bearing apple & peach trees, a rebuilt back porch (2021) with new ADA-accessible ramp (2025), cedar privacy fence (2018, stained in 2026), and a detached two-car garage with insulated workshop and attic storage (2015). Parking is exceptional for an inn or event property, offering three off-street parking areas with a total of 17 spaces. The main roof is being replaced with a new membrane roof Aug 2026, while additional roof sections have been replaced (back porch 2018, owner’s suite 2011) and maintained.
