This meticulously restored Italianate Villa style mansion is located along a beautiful bend of the Ohio River.
Oliver House Bed & Breakfast is a passionate rendition of American Italianate architecture. This magnificent villa has been expertly restored, and offers the finest modern conveniences, coupled with exquisite design and artisan craftsmanship.
Built in 1869, the villa overlooks a regal bend in the mighty Ohio River from its handsomely manicured grounds. Currently operated as the upscale Oliver House Bed-and-Breakfast, the villa is also perfect as a one-of-a-kind family residence. Rich materials and accents are found throughout, exemplified by a gated courtyard, Italian marble checkerboard floors, a grand stairway, marvelous wood and plaster work, numerous fireplaces, premium fixtures, an abundance of windows, and distinctive, classically-styled rooms.
From the moment guests enter, the villa’s showcase quality is evident. The fabulous entry foyer radiates to many significant main floor rooms, which include a formal dining room with mural, breakfast room, dual parlor, fabulous gourmet kitchen, and two elegant bedrooms. The second level features the original master bedroom, two additional bedrooms, office, and the owners’ suite, replete with a large living room with gas burning fireplace, full kitchen and a screened, covered porch. Architectural plans are available for the conversion of the upstairs into two additional suites with bathrooms. The villa’s lower level has a billiard room with wet bar, and a classic tin ceiling.
Located in southwestern Indiana along the banks of the Ohio River, Evansville (population: 121,000) is Indiana’s third largest city and is the regional hub for the Tri-State area of Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. Evansville values its heritage by preserving its past while providing a progressive environment for continuing development.
