Property Description

Welcome to the iconic “Big White House” of Chaires Cross Road in the heart of the growing Chaires Community. This one-of-a-kind property is set on nearly 3 acres of lush, tree-filled land. Built prior to 1900 and thoughtfully brought back to life, this historic gem offers over 2,650 square feet, 5 spacious bedrooms, and two expansive living areas that invite gathering, storytelling, and creating new memories. Majestic live oaks, blooming magnolias and azaleas, fig and lime trees surround the property, creating a peaceful, almost storybook setting. The long rocking-chair front porch with a swing feels like it was made for slow mornings and golden-hour conversations. The train tracks behind are picturesque and infrequently in use. Inside, history and modern comfort blend beautifully. You'll find soaring ceilings, solid wood doors, and incredible refinished original hardwood floors that carry over a century of character. The home features two renovated bathrooms with a marble top vanity and beautiful tilework, a bright and inviting sunroom, and a charming kitchen with a new white porcelain sink and butcher block countertops, and a huge butler's pantry! Beyond the main home, the property continues to impress with a large concrete pool, four additional structures, and even two parcels across the street that can be subdivided. The property is zoned RC for both residential and commercial use. From a systems standpoint, the home is in solid working order to the best of the seller's knowledge, with professionals having evaluated the updated electrical, plumbing, well, and septic systems. There are no signs of termite activity, and bait stations are already in place as a preventative measure. The property also features two water heaters—one tankless unit conveniently located near the washer, and a second unit installed in 2023 in the hallway closet. That said, there are items for a future owner to address. Primary considerations include the absence of kitchen appliances (however washer and dryer are included), as well as the need for a new HVAC system, re-roof, and some windows are in need of repair. These items are reflected in the listing price. As a contributing property within the Chaires Historic District and believed to be part of the first surveyed plat in Leon County, this home has stood as the heart of the community for over 125 years. Now, it's ready for its next chapter. This is truly a rare opportunity. There's something undeniably special about this property. It has so much incredible history, character, and opportunity. It is truly a place full of possibility waiting for the right person with the vision to make it extraordinary. Listing agent has ownership interest in the property.
