From the Zillow listing:

 

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the Crown Jewel of the Town of Marshall! This 1903 Richard Sharp Smith mansion is anchored above town with expansive French Broad River and long-range mountain views. Walkable to Main Street, yet elevated and private, this historic home has been updated and restored to its original (or better) splendor! Currently a highly-rated Inn (zoned commercial/residential), it’s truly a legacy property to enjoy for generations! Elegance and romance abound here-from the sound of the river on the massive, covered porch to the town lights glimmering below the grand entry, kitchen, and pocket-doored dining and living rooms! Retreat to your private rooms floating above town, each w/ own contemporary bath. Private, porte-cochere entry to parlor with stone fireplace welcomes everyone. The separate kitchen, laundry, and pantry make this an entertainer’s dream. The 1.22 acres includes a separate two-story workshop that could be converted to additional living space!
