Located in the heart of Philadelphia, Mississippi's historic district, this exceptional estate combines classic Southern architecture with modern functionality. Set on a +/- 0.6-acre lot, the property features a circular driveway and additional parking leading west to the garage. The front entrance is highlighted by a substantial southern-style veranda with white balustrade railings. The original front door with intricate leaded glass opens to a grand foyer with hardwood floors.
The formal living room features 14-foot ceilings, a fireplace with an Italian marble hearth, and a crystal chandelier, framed by bold red walls with white trim. The formal dining room is equally impressive, with a second fireplace, crystal chandelier, and built-in glass-front cabinetry for display. A curved staircase leads to a private upstairs bedroom with a full bath and window seat.
The main-level family room provides a comfortable gathering space with a fireplace, and an adjacent bedroom currently serves as an office. The kitchen serves as the home's centerpiece, featuring a central island, granite countertops, a built-in wine cooler, and high-end appliances, including a Viking gas cooktop oven, Bosch dishwasher, and farmhouse sink. Additional built-in seating provides a space for casual dining or entertaining.
The master suite offers a private retreat with its own fireplace, sunroom, and three-paneled doors overlooking the backyard. The en-suite bathroom includes dual vanities, a walk-in shower, jetted tub, walk-in closet, and leaded glass windows that fill the space with natural light.
The backyard is built for entertaining and relaxation, centered on a heated Caribbean-style pool with ionized water and color-changing lighting. Outdoor features include a second kitchen, screened patio, vinyl privacy fence with lattice top, brick-paved walkways, English-style garden, 12x9 greenhouse, 10x16 pool house, and a versatile Summer Cottage. The Summer Cottage, accessible via breezeway, includes a first-floor sitting area, bedroom, and full bath; the second floor has two bedrooms, two office areas, a bonus room, and a balcony overlooking the backyard, making it ideal for guests or potential rental income.
Additional features of the estate include a heated and cooled three-car garage with refinished mahogany doors, custom window treatments, galvanized steel roof, crown and chair rail molding, Italian marble flooring, sound system, security alarm, sprinkler system, cedar closet, perennial landscaping, and vegetable garden.
