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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
