Here you have a unique opportunity to own a designated Historic Local Landmark! The Porter-Chiles House is a breathtaking example of Second Empire architecture nestled in the heart of Independence. Originally constructed in 1860 by David Porter, a prominent local builder and businessman, this stately 3-story home later became known as the Maples Hotel in the early 20th century, welcoming guests with its distinctive charm. The home was later owned by C. C. Chiles, a significant figure in Independence's history. Mostly restored, the home retains its historic grandeur while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts. From the signature mansard roof to intricate period detailing, every inch of this property reflects its past. The Kitchen's updated walnut cabinetry and granite countertops, along with a butler's pantry and original millwork, add timeless elegance. From the foyer, the library showcases beautiful built-ins, which are perfect for quiet reflection. There is a stained glass door that leads outside to the meticulously maintained side garden. The parlor room, opposite the library, hosts a space of serenity, relaxation, and glamor. Down the hall is the original sitting room, presently being used as a main-floor bedroom without a closet. This room has a fireplace behind the wall. Upstairs on the second level, you will see 4 generously sized bedrooms, one of which has been transformed into a bathroom with a clawfoot tub. Besides the second-floor laundry and another bathroom, the home has two newer zoned HVAC systems and two 50-gallon water heaters. The roof is also newer. Upstairs to the third level, you will see 5 bedrooms, some with the original lettering from the Hotel era, and another bathroom. Whether you're entertaining in the formal dining room, relaxing in the parlor, or walking the halls, this home offers a rare blend of history, craftsmanship, and comfort.
