The Elms, is an enchanting architecturally significant urban villa, dating to 1804. A very large wing was added in 1856 which nearly doubled the size of the house. The Elms is now on the market after passing through 5 generations of the same family beginning in 1869. In 2015, the present owners completed a thorough restoration, which included an extensive replacement and upgrade of the house's systems, with all plumbing replaced, HVAC - including 2 window units, and 90% of all electrical. At that time, the bathrooms and kitchen were fully updated. The villa retains an astonishing level of integrity, as evidenced by the original moldings, doors, and fireplace surrounds. The Elms is located on a lush, gardenesque 1.63-acre town lot in the heart of Natchez. Surrounded by ancient live oaks, old camellias, vintage azaleas, and large boxwood, this garden is a quintessentially southern garden and feels like an oasis with multiple garden elements and generous walkways. The house has spacious rooms for entertainment and family gatherings. Part of the magic of this property is the long, deep two-story porches that surround the house and consisting of 3,501 SF, creating seamless flow between the interior and exterior, essentially making the outdoor spaces feel like part of the larger home. The home has 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 2 half baths. There are multiple rooms for entertainment, and two home offices for those who do remote work or like to manage their businesses from a central home location. Total Living Area is 6,897 SF. Come experience elegant surroundings within an abundant landscape setting, all while enjoying proximity to Natchez's burgeoning restaurant scene and entertainment venues. 3 blocks from downtown Natchez and 8 blocks from the mighty Mississippi River, this location provides an easy walk or short drive to almost every amenity that you need or desire. This is rare opportunity to own a significant part of American history.
