Description

Located directly off Highway 1 in the heart of Rosedale, just a few blocks from the levee and the mighty Mississippi beyond it, 300 Elizabeth Street brings together historic architecture, original details, and modern updates. Formerly known as The Eddin's Place and built in 1905, this two-story home offers approximately 4,057 square feet with four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms on two parcels totaling approximately 1.33 acres. Large shade trees, a circular drive, and a broad front porch introduce the setting. Inside, a grand entrance hall features the main staircase, beamed ceilings, and newly refinished hardwood floors. Large, original pocket doors connect the formal dining room to the left and the spacious living room to the right. The dining room overlooks the front lawn through large windows framed by original built-in cabinets with leaded glass. Across the hall, the living room features a fireplace, beamed ceilings, built-in shelving, and an original built-in window bench. A covered porch opens from the living room to the side yard. Off the dining room, a sunroom with windows on three sides provides natural light and access to an outdoor patio. The renovated kitchen includes a custom McCarty backsplash, deep sink, refrigerator, and electric range. An adjoining butler's pantry and dry bar offer original cabinetry and storage. A second set of steps connects the central staircase to the kitchen, providing convenient access between the main living and entertaining spaces. A half bath is located near the staircase and main entrance. Upstairs, a spacious landing offers a sitting area and original double doors opening to a balcony overlooking the front yard. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms arranged in a Jack-and-Jill layout, and a sleeping porch complete the upstairs. Historically used for sleeping with the windows open, the sleeping porch features 10 windows restored by the current owners. Two bedrooms retain original coal-burning fireplaces with intricate wooden mantels and decorative surrounds, currently maintained as architectural features. One bathroom was recently remodeled with a walk-in tile shower. Central heating and cooling serve the main floor, while upstairs heating and cooling are provided by window units and space heaters. Updates include a roof approximately three years old, a downstairs central AC unit approximately two years old, and a whole-house generator for backup power. Additional features include a basement, security system with cameras, covered rear carport, backyard storage building, and backyard fountain. The front porch, covered side porch, sunroom patio, and upstairs balcony offer several places to enjoy the shaded grounds. Approximately 30 miles from Clarksdale along scenic Highway 1, approximately 20 miles from Cleveland, and just over half a mile from Rosedale Distilling Company, The Edins House offers the space and character for a private Delta retreat, with potential for a bed-and-breakfast or hunting lodge, subject to applicable approvals.
