Property Description

Don't miss this one-of-a-kind historic Belhaven home! 915 Gillespie offers all the hallmarks of the quintessential Belhaven home- 11 and 12 foot ceilings, beautiful wood floors, a wrap-around front porch, and all the charm and character you could hope for.

An attached, enclosed, two car garage; a custom-built primary bedroom with reclaimed cypress accents, wood-burning fireplace, and 6 sets of French doors; a 20ft vaulted ceiling in the living area; an expansive deck perfect for outdoor entertaining; a private screened porch off the primary suite; 330 square feet of heated and cooled dedicated storage, and 4 ensuite bedrooms. The home underwent a major renovation by a former Mississippi governor who added interesting and unique architectural features throughout. The abundance of natural light is a key feature of the home and was one of the goals of the thoughtful renovation. The home boasts a sophisticated library with floor to ceiling built-ins, a sunny breakfast area in addition to a dining room with built-ins, an office nook upstairs, and much more storage than the typical Belhaven home. The reclaimed cypress details in the primary suite are repeated in the primary bath, which also features a jetted tub, separate shower and large, walk-in closet. If you enjoy outdoor entertaining, you're in for a treat. The main living area opens onto a small screened porch which then opens to a massive deck that will be perfect for dining al fresco or hosting neighborhood cookouts. The deck can be accessed from the living area as well as the primary bedroom. A private, screened porched off the primary bedroom provides a great spot for morning coffee. And don't forget about the wrap-around porch on the front, complete with porch swing. If you love the traditional exterior of Belhaven homes but want something a little different and unique inside, you won't want to miss this very special home in one of Jackson's most desirable neighborhoods. It is also important to note that this home is eligible for Historic Tax Credits for approved improvements. Call your realtor today and schedule a tour to see this showstopper!
