Description

A Historic 1905 Treasure on 2 Acres

1113 Oakhurst Avenue | Clarksdale, MS 38614

Behind a long gravel drive, surrounded by 2.1 acres of  magnolias and oaks, 1113 Oakhurst Avenue awaits you. Built in 1905, this home was ahead of its time and remains a special and unique treasure more than a century later.

Offering approximately 3,350 square feet, the home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, a stucco exterior, and a special architectural design that immediately sets it apart. A recessed central entrance is framed by two projecting wings-a light-filled sun porch on one side and a den/study on the other-creating the distinctive look that makes this home unique.

The character continues inside with hardwood floors, rich woodwork, substantial ceiling beams, wide room openings, and large banks of windows throughout. The spacious living room is the heart of the home, with a wood-burning stove and mantel, beamed ceiling, and a long stretch of windows that bring the light in. A few steps up from the living room create an interesting transition to the stairway and other areas of the main floor while allowing the rooms to remain open and connected.

Just off the main living areas are the sun porch and den/study, each tucked into one of the home's projecting front wings. The formal dining room is another standout, with a beamed ceiling, hardwood floors, and plenty of room for entertaining. The kitchen sits just off the dining room and includes double ovens and a walk-in pantry.

The spacious primary bedroom is downstairs and features bay windows overlooking the grounds, along with a private bath. A half bath and large utility room are also located on the main level.

Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a bonus room filled with large windows overlooking the yard. This flexible space could easily serve as an office, bunk room, playroom, or upstairs sunroom. The bathrooms feature showers and distinctive sunken tubs.

A brand-new deck off the kitchen overlooks the expansive backyard, where the property gently rolls through mature trees and open lawn. The Little Sunflower winds along the rear of the property, adding another special element to the 2.1-acre setting. Mature magnolias and oaks surround the home and give the property a private, established feel.

Additional features include central heat and air, a combination metal and shingle roof with the shingle portion replaced approximately six years ago, and a basement with sump pump. The current owners have called 1113 Oakhurst home for 47 years, which says a lot about what a special place it has been.
