The Barbee Mansion

The Barbee Mansion Built in 1908, this magnificent home is a must see to believe. Over the past several years, there have been many renovations. You really could not ask for more.

It's true...they just don't make them like they used to. In 1908 when Charles Reed Barbee had his own mansion built, he probably never considered whether that home would still be around over 100 years later. But here it stands, in all its glory, 107 years later. Through the years this home has served different owners, even functioned as a flower shop for several years, before being purchased in 20

04 by Paul and Elizabeth Lague. Since 2004, there have been many renovations. Today it is a truly magnificent showplace, one of the last remaining mansions in Lauderdale County, TN. Walking thru the front door, your eyes are captivated by the grand split staircase. Flanked to the right by the formal dining room (which comfortably entertains 14), to the left is the formal living room, which includes one of the 7 fireplaces in the home. Located perfectly off the dining room is a true gourmet kitchen that includes a unique mantlehood over the 6 burner gas stove with griddle. The kitchen boasts all stainless appliances, a wine cooler, trash compactor, and all the essentials you'd expect. What you might not expect is the granite countertops, tile floors, and the walk in pantry. The large island is the natural gathering spot for the many guests you will surely entertain in this great space. Located off the kitchen is an intimate den where you really feel the warmth of the home. The expansive owner's suite is located on the main floor and features a master bath with real Italian marble imported directly from Italy, a sitting room, dual walk in closets, oversized custom vanities with granite countertops, laundry room, and sitting room. As you traverse your way to the second story, expect nothing less than perfection in the 4 bedrooms and 2 baths located upstairs. Your tour will be complete after you travel to the basement and see the functional spaces down there. A newly remodeled den, wine bar, and workshop with plenty of storage are located down there. Some of the original features still standing proud are the mahogany pocket doors, 6 leaded glass windows, hardwood floors, and the original Summer porch. With the mixture of tradition and modern function, a careful balance had to be levitated to achieve the perfect look for the mansion. The owner made every concession possible to attain the fit and finish this home deserves. All of the original door handles have been replated in satin nickel finish. The crown moulding and trim have been preserved wherever possible. From the 12' ceilings to the 8' doorways, you will appreciate the grand features of the home, while still feeling comfortable and relaxed in the large rooms. In 1908, the walls were constructed to an incredible one foot thickness, yes...it's so so true....they just don't make them like they used to.
