What's special
OWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE - Contact listing agent for more details. Step into history at The Zellars Estate, a rare 1879 masterpiece offering over 5,100 square feet of finished living space on 1.4 private, park-like acres. Two adjacent lots (parcel ID G04 0001 002A and G06 0005 004) are also available for purchase. Originally built by Captain Thomas E. Zellars, this fortress-like residence was constructed to endure, featuring triple brick-thick walls, soaring 14-foot ceilings, expansive 15x15 rooms, original wood floors, intricate period trim, a central vac system, and breathtaking stained-glass accents showcased by the dramatic foyer staircase. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers elegant and functional living spaces, including a formal dining room, living room, and a sun-filled breakfast room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A charming butler's pantry with a stylish beverage room/coffee bar blends historic character with modern convenience. A well-appointed mudroom adds practical functionality without sacrificing the home's timeless appeal. This remarkable home has been completely renovated from top to bottom, with every update carefully executed to preserve its historic charm while incorporating today's modern comforts including buried electrical cables. Tall, oversized windows flood the interior with natural light and frame views of mature trees, enhancing the estate's classic Southern presence. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this exceptional property also includes a detached garage with its own electrical panel and meter, and a basement workshop, providing ample space for storage or hobbies. As an added distinction, this iconic home has even been featured in The Walking Dead. Beyond the estate itself, the location offers an incredible lifestyle with nearby recreational amenities including pickleball and basketball courts, a water park, and a baseball field. A scenic walking trail surrounds the field, perfect for morning strolls, exercise, or enjoying the outdoors just minutes from home. Homes of this caliber, where history, craftsmanship, and modern living converge, rarely come available. A truly extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of history.
