About this home
Step into history with the distinguished H.C. Watson House, originally built in the 1880s and thoughtfully restored in the early 1900s. This registered historic masterpiece blends timeless Southern architecture with preserved craftsmanship and modern updates. The stately two-story façade features towering columns, intricate millwork, an upper balcony, and an expansive wrap-around porch that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Recent updates include two new HVAC systems (2024), updated downstairs plumbing, hot water heaters, re-finished wood floors, and exterior restoration with replaced wood and professional repainting to preserve its architectural integrity. Inside, a grand central foyer welcomes you with 10+ ft ceilings, ornate crown molding, plaster details, re-finished wood floors, and a dramatic staircase. Two elegant front parlors feature decorative fireplaces, tall windows, and refined trim. The formal dining room offers statement lighting and stunning charm, flowing into a bright sunroom ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The showpiece butler's pantry showcases original glass-front cabinetry and a vintage brass sink. The kitchen blends historic character with functionality, featuring granite countertops, custom cabinetry, generous workspace, pot filler, and a charming breakfast nook filled with natural light. Upstairs offers four spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors and abundant light. One bedroom includes a private sunroom, perfect for a sitting area or office. Situated on a spacious lot enclosed with white vinyl privacy fencing, the property includes established fig, pecan, peach, and cherry trees. A large screened porch provides additional outdoor living space. Adding to its rare significance are the original detached cookhouse and a three-bay carriage house with groom's quarters. A truly rare opportunity to own a property of historic character, presence and timeless Southern Elegance.
