Spanning 2.9 acres, this historic gem built prior to 1900 features over 2,652 square feet, 5 large bedrooms, 2 HUGE living areas, a kitchen with a new porcelain sink and butcher block counters, bright sunroom, charming long rocking chair front porch with swing, majestic live oaks, and many mature landscaping including fig trees, a lime tree, magnolias & azaleas.

This iconic home is truly one-of-a-kind with incredible history and potential. Zoned residential AND commercial providing endless possibilities… it could be the bed & breakfast of your dreams, a private estate, or something entirely your own. The community has been eagerly awaiting its restoration to prominence. It has maintained much of its turn-of-the-century character- from soaring ceilings, refinished original pine floors, solid wood doors, and a grand front porch. This home is a contributing part of the Chaires Historic District and believed to be part of the first plat surveyed in Leon County. For 125+ years, it’s been the heart of Chaires and a true piece of Leon County history. Now it could be yours for under 400K. Video tour coming soon. Open House date to be determined and will be scheduled this month.
