303 E. Walcott St.(tax address)/912 N. Dawson Street (mailing address) is a gorgeous, unique family home in the Dawson Street Historic District and has been lovingly restored and owned by one family for 50 years. Built in 1856 (with features dating back to 1837), the home was completely renovated with modern plumbing, electrical, interior walls, and foundation in 1973. Walk through the original heart pine front double doors with antique brass knockers into the gracious central hallway, walking on heart pine floors original to the home. Off the hallway is a large library/office with grass cloth-covered walls, fireplace, and a full wall of built-in bookshelves. Across from the office is a large living room with fireplace and period mantel. The living room opens to a grand dining room with antique chandelier and sconces with reclaimed, tall French doors leading out to the herringbone brick patio and classical garden. The perfect flow for entertaining, the dining room leads to the bar which features glass shelving, an antique leaded glass window, heart pine countertop and bar fridge (it is plumbed for a sink as well). A utility room with washer/dryer, full sized freezer and storage is adjacent to the bar. Through the bar is an updated kitchen, complete with granite countertops, a central island, eat-in bar counter, double ovens, all wood cabinets, custom wood pullouts/storage and a glass-paned door opening onto the back patio. The open kitchen looks out on a breakfast nook and corner family room with plantation shutters. Completing the downstairs is a bedroom with full renovated bathroom.
Up the original 1800s staircase, you will find 3 bedrooms, one of which is a bunk room with custom built bunk beds, and 2 full baths. The generous primary bedroom has high ceilings, fireplace, and heart pine floor border. The updated primary bathroom has ample storage with separate water closet, built in features and multiple closets. Double doors at the top of the stairs lead onto the usable upper porch with a beautiful view down Dawson Street. Pull-down stairs in the hall lead to a large, floored attic.
The oversized, fenced, private, backyard is an oasis in the city and is a glorious place to live and entertain. The classical landscape design, featuring an exquisite boxwood parterre, was designed by renowned landscape architect, Wade Chastain. There are mature and varied plantings throughout the extensive property resulting in abundant blooms for every season. Additional features in the yard include a lattice gazebo with a living roof, lovely pergola, antique pineapple fountain and vine-covered arbor. This is truly a one-of-a-kind property and is ready for new family to make memories there!
