Description

Walk in to a piece of beautiful American history!! With 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, this home is 2,800 sq ft of 1900's charm, and to top that off it is nestled on a hill with 3 acres in Tatum ISD! As you walk in the front door you are greeted by beautiful original hardwood floors and tall elegant tongue and groove ceilings. The door frames and windows are adorned with original hand-scraped wood. Functioning transoms above the doors allow crisp air into the home in the spring and fall. During the winter, you will find comfort in the wood burning stove that is gently framed by the home's original mantel. Follow the double french doors into the kitchen and dining room. This room has continued original hardwood flooring and hand-scraped moldings, but with a bit of modern touch. Upgrades in the kitchen include adding in a large island, dishwasher, industrial-farmhouse chic concrete counter tops, upgraded gas stove (and gas lines), and installation of a new cabinetry system around the refrigerator (original cabinets are retained by the antique kitchen sink). These upgrades (and many more) bring in modern day comforts while taking the time to preserve and keep the home as original as possible. The flooring through-out the home is primarily beautiful, original hard wood floors except for where the original screened-in porch was (see backstory below). The areas where the porch once was, has been enclosed creating an extra bedroom and the master bathroom-laundry room area. Some of the upgrades and repairs to the home include: addition of a 5 ton AC unit, water filtration system, addition of R38 insulation, replaced well tank, motor, capacitor, installed aerobic system in 2020, replaced entire 3 ton A/C System (inside and out), and many more. A detailed list will be supplied on request. Venturing outside, you'll find a nice covered porch, perfect for taking in those evening sunsets, along with a 1,000+ sq ft shop with an office and bathroom inside. This is great space to dive head first into your hobbies or simply use it for additional storage. Back story: This beauty was originally located in Tenaha and moved to its current location in the 1998. It is believed to have been built and owned by the first person in Shelby county to own a cotton gin. When the home was moved to it's current place the screened in porch (see pictures from 1942) was too wide for travel down the interstate and was thus removed. But don't worry, the space did not got waste! There is now an extra bedroom, master bathroom, and laundry room in it's place. Don't miss your chance to own this one of a kind home!
