Description

Forest Hill - The Thomas Nelson House Step into a masterpiece of Missouri history. Built in 1843 by Thomas Withers Nelson, a prominent Boonville merchant, Forest Hill is the most iconic and architecturally significant residence in town. Located at 700 Tenth Street, this stately Greek Revival brick home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and famously featured in George Caleb Bingham's 1877 painting Forest Hill — The Nelson Homestead. The home's two-story design showcases original Greek Revival features, including a side gable roof, symmetrical one-story wings, and a striking two-story gabled portico with Doric columns and an iron balustrade added around 1853. Though modified slightly in 1946 with the addition of rear and side wings, the home retains exceptional

Supplements: historical integrity in both structure and setting. The current owners have spared no expense in restoring and reimagining the interior with modern elegance. The renovated kitchen is a showpiece, featuring leathered granite countertops, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and an open layout ideal for entertaining. Inside, you'll find original wood floors, intricate millwork, and soaring ceilings throughout. The luxurious primary suite offers direct access to the sunporch and a breathtaking en suite bathroomhighlighted by a copper soaking tub set in front of a fireplace and a private stone walk-in shower that feels like a personal spa. Upstairs, you'll find two nearly identical bedrooms, each situated on either side of a full bathroom and an open staircase, offering a sense of space and architectural drama. But the crown jewel of the upper level is the walk-out porch, where you can overlook the beautifully maintained 1.16-acre private lot and enjoy the peaceful elegance that surrounds this historic home. The partially finished basement includes a secret hidden bedroom tucked behind a sliding bookshelf (non-conforming), a fully functioning kitchenette, and a cozy family room, making it ideal for guests, hobbies, or a quiet escape. Forest Hill is more than a homeit is a preserved piece of American art and architectural history, lovingly restored and ready for the next chapter. Due to the historic significance and interest surrounding this home, all interested parties are kindly asked to submit proof of funds prior to scheduling a showing.
