In 1925, prominent lumberman C. L. Faust chose the largest lot on Gillespie to place his personal home. Using the finest slow-growth virgin timber, his home was built as a showcase for the wood products that his company milled and sold nationwide. One hundred years later, following a painstaking renovation by the current owner, 912 Gillespie Street is ready for a new century of families. This past year, the home received a new roof of Decra tile that mimics the look of the historic clay tile without the fragility of the original covering. The brick retaining walls along the front terraces were removed and replaced with expert precision. Inside, eleven-foot ceilings add to the expansiveness of the spacious rooms, with newly-refinished wood floors reflecting sunlight from numerous windows. Kitchen and bathrooms have been updated with modern amenities. The kitchen has a new quartz countertop, new stainless double wall ovens, and a new gas cooktop in the large island. The hall bath has a soaking tub and a separate shower stall. Please observe that this home was converted from a 4 bedroom plan to a 3 bedroom by the removal of a wall which can easily be replaced if a fourth bedroom is preferred. The property also offers a winding curbed driveway leading to a two-car garage, big enough for two over-sized SUVs. A bonus room attached to the garage is wired and available for any number of purposes. The double lot provides privacy for its occupants, plus opportunities for outside entertainment; there's even room for a swimming pool and pool house. This beautiful Craftsman-style home is a short stroll from the popular Belhaven Town Center with its award-winning restaurants. Its convenient location provides easy access to area hospitals, colleges, schools, and downtown Jackson.
