This stately turn of the century home reigns over Natchez, MS 's Garden District. Recently the Historic Natchez Foundation presented the owners of this extraordinary home with their annual Award for Excellence in Restoration.
The home flows beautifully with grand columns identifying entrances to double parlors and to the fine dining room. As one enters the front entrance foyer an original manteled fireplace greets you along with a grand and elegant staircase inviting you to the second floor where a master suite and four bedrooms create a spacious family area.
Jeffersonian Windows access the front balcony where one can enjoy a cool breeze while viewing the downtown skyline and the lovely neighborhood. The rear covered balcony offers an opportunity to view some of natures most gorgeous sunsets.
The home has 6 or 7 bedrooms, traditional 11' high ceilings, beautiful original heart pine floors with natural hand-rubbed finish, remarkable original wood trim throughout including crown moulding in every room. This home has been restored to near original condition inside and out including the original interior plaster walls.
Eleven (11) fireplaces, all with original mantels and tile encasements are intact in every room throughout this 5500 ft home.
This home has beautiful light fixtures throughout.
Natchez's most authoritative historian Mimi Miller commented that " the scale of this home and quality of workmanship are phenomenal". Quite a compliment.
A tour and personal inspection of this fine home are a "must" to truly appreciate the fine details in maintaining the original integrity of this fabulous Colonial Revival style home constructed during the circa "gay nineties". Plan a visit to "Vernona" today. Relive the past in "One of the South's Most Historic Cities" and in the most prestigious area of Natchez--a great place to live...
