Situated atop a small knoll on Riverside Drive, Beausejour was the first house built in this prestigious neighborhood. This stunning home was completed in 1892 by Frenchman Emile Frisard and his wife Marie LaGell. It is designated as a National Registry Property & is the queen of the West Union Street & Riverside Drive historic district. The home is within walking distance of the restaurants and art galleries of downtown Morganton. The original flooring, wainscotting, doors, & window surrounds in the house are heart of pine. The large dining room floor features an intricate inlaid pattern of oak & cherry. High 12 ft ceilings add to the specialness of the home. There are 2 full baths, one with a Jacuzzi on the upper level & a half bath on the ground floor. This home has 3 bedrooms & a unique 4th bedroom office/study with a sleeping loft above. The house was meticulously restored in 1987 to it's original glory with appropriate additions made by renowned CLEARSCAPES Architecture &
