    What's special

    Step into a storybook of Southern legacy and refinement. Built in 1875—two years before Helena’s founding—Magnolia Manor (formerly the M.C. Davidson House) is a timeless estate steeped in history and honored on the National Register of Historic Places. Once home to M.C. Davidson, a visionary in Helena’s early development, and later C.T. Davidson, founder of the town’s first telephone exchange and power plant, this residence is more than a home—it’s a cornerstone of the community. Set on 1.52 acres, this 2,600+ sq ft estate blends period architecture with thoughtful modernization. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths, it offers sophistication, comfort, and grace. Updated interiors honor the past while embracing today’s luxury. Own a rare opportunity—where elegance, history, and opulence converge. Buyer and buyer’s agent to verify all items of importance. More photos coming soon.
