A beloved Bellefonte bed and breakfast just hit the market, and it could be yours for a seven-figure sum.

The property, located at 101 W. Linn St. in Bellefonte, is featured as the latest installment in our Million Dollar Listings series. The $2 million Reynolds Mansion bed and breakfast is on the market through listing agent Peter Chiarkas of Kissinger, Bigatel and Brower Realtors.

This listing is particularly unique in its scope. According to its description, it is a turnkey property, meaning it’s ready for operation as a bed and breakfast once new owners enter the fray. Chiarkas says he expects the sellers to take some personal items and artwork, but most furniture and equipment will remain in place.

The roughly 1-acre property features a 10,015-square-foot home that offers 11 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, according to the online description. Ten of those bedrooms are left to guests — eight bedrooms in the home and another two located in suites inside the on-property carriage house. A master suite is available for owners to live on-site while caring for their patrons.

The Victorian-style home dates back to at least 1885, according to the property’s description. Some unique features include its marble foyer, original gas lamps, stained glass windows, detailed moldings, inlaid parquet floors and walnut woodwork.

Eight original fireplaces, and five newer ones, are scattered throughout the home in addition to more modern luxuries, including a laundry room, an office and first-floor storage space. Several common areas are offered through a large living room, dining room, billiards room and a snuggery, where men once retired to “enjoy brandy and cigars,” according to the bed and breakfast’s website.

Twelve parking spaces are available on the property.
