Description

A Historic 1905 Treasure on 2.1± Acres | 1113 Oakhurst Avenue, Clarksdale, MS 38614 | Tucked behind a long gravel drive and surrounded by mature magnolias and oaks, 1113 Oakhurst Avenue is a truly special historic property. Built in 1905, this approximately 3,350-square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, a stucco exterior, and distinctive architectural character throughout. The recessed central entrance is framed by two projecting front wings—a light-filled sun porch on one side and a den/study on the other—creating the unique exterior design that immediately sets this home apart. Inside, hardwood floors, rich woodwork, substantial ceiling beams, wide room openings, and large banks of windows carry the character throughout the home. The spacious living room features a wood-burning stove and mantel, beamed ceiling, and a long stretch of windows that fills the room with natural light. A few steps up from the living room create an interesting transition to the stairway and other areas of the main floor while keeping the spaces 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 hardwood floors, a beamed ceiling, and plenty of room for entertaining. The kitchen sits just off the dining room with an entryway down a few steps circling you back into the living room. The spacious primary bedroom is located downstairs and features bay windows overlooking the grounds along with a private bath. A half bath and large utility room are also on the main level. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a bonus room filled with large windows overlooking the yard—an ideal space for 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 2.1± acres gently roll through mature trees and open lawn. The Little Sunflower winds along the rear of the property, adding another special element to the setting. 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—a fitting testament to what a special place this has been. Historic architecture, beautiful grounds, generous living space, and more than a century of character come together in one of Clarksdale's truly unique homes.
