OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 3/23 12-2PM
A Grand Southern Lady with Timeless Charm.
Location, Location, Location! Sitting gracefully on a spacious corner lot, this stunning 117+ year-old beauty is where Victorian elegance meets Craftsman charm. With her wraparound porch, she invites you to sit a spell—whether it’s with a steaming cup of coffee in the morning or an ice-cold glass of sweet tea on a warm afternoon.
Inside, so much of her original character remains beautifully intact—gorgeous wood floors, sunlit windows, pocket doors, and soaring ceilings that make every space feel grand yet welcoming. The flowing downstairs layout is perfect for hosting Sunday suppers and lively gatherings, while all four bedrooms and two full baths upstairs offer a cozy retreat at the end of the day.
With a roof less than 1 year old, a new AC, and abundant natural light, this home is both solid and stunning. The generous side yard is calling for a pool and outdoor entertaining space. She’s one of the rare homes in the area with a real basement—a true Southern gem with a story to tell.
Used for the filming of The Dead Man Walking.
