About This Home

The historic Gordon-Grantham-Walters property, which recently received a substantial exterior refresh, presents an array of exciting opportunities- personal residence with a rich history, bed and breakfast, Airbnb, hospitality/event venue, office space for small accounting, law or PR firm - the possibilities are endless. The desirable location in the Belhaven Historic District, across from Millsaps College and within walking distance of the new and exciting Belhaven Town Center and Fertile Ground Brewing Company puts you right in the middle of it all. The Italianate Renaissance home was designed by prominent Jackson architect Harry North Austin, the man behind buildings such as Millsaps' Murrah Hall (1914), Ole Miss' Bryant Hall (1911) and Natchez City Hall (1924). The historically significant home displays many of its original architectural features including soaring ceilings (11 ft downstairs and 10 ft upstairs), beautiful wood flooring, detailed moldings, tall windows, 6 fireplaces, several pairs of pocket doors with original hardware, a wrap-around porch and more. While the home is steeped in history, there are contemporary touches as well. The home's kitchen features the artistic work of renowned wood sculptor Fletcher Cox in both the cabinetry and the ceiling. The first floor offers a living room, parlor/study, formal dining room, kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances, butler's pantry with plenty of storage, and a bedroom or den with full bathroom. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a hall bathroom with clawfoot tub, and a third upstairs bedroom offers a fully renovated ensuite bath with spacious, tiled walk-in shower with glass door. There is an additional room upstairs that could serve as an office, playroom or even fifth bedroom. The original sleeping porch on the back of the home has been repurposed into a laundry/multipurpose room, and features stairs to a huge, floored attic providing plenty of storage. There is a large wrap-around porch on the front of the home that offers space for outdoor entertaining, and an alley in the back of the home provides access to additional parking, a large backyard and even a patio area. It is important to note that this home is eligible for Historic Tax Credits for approved improvements. Call your realtor today to see this special property, and all the potential it offers!
