Property Description

Steller price & $8,500 incl for exterior re-paint(just cleaned) & prof hardwood floor re-sand/poly. Nestled in the heart of historic Opelika, just a stroll from downtown & the new Floral Park, this 1894 Queen Anne-style Victorian is a rare architectural treasure! Behind its turreted façade and decorative bargeboard gable lies a beautifully preserved 4-bed, 2-bath home filled w/warmth, craftsmanship & character. A dramatic curved concrete stairway leads to a hand-carved front door & series of inviting foyers. Inside, 14-foot ceilings, plaster walls & original picture molding set the tone, while eighteen 84-inch windows w/wavy glass fill the home with light. Transoms, nearly one-foot baseboards and hand-carved trim blocks—incl symbolic starburst motifs—enhance the home's rich period detailing. Four preserved coal-burning fireplaces reflect its authentic 19th-century charm (decorative only). Thoughtfully remodeled kitchen (2012) blends historic & modern function: custom cabinetry, Silestone quartz countertops, soft-close drawers, schoolhouse lighting & young appliances (incl dbl oven, fridge, w/d). Both bathrooms have been updated with care—the owner's bath showcasing a striking 1927 clawfoot tub, lantern tile, marble-top vanity plus the delicately revealed original chimney—a striking architectural accent! Generous closets, built-in storage, vintage Sears Roebuck shed and even hand-hewn timber beams beneath the structure, this one-of-a-kind home is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully adapted piece of Opelika's history! Outside, the property as a whole unfolds like a secret garden, with nearly 1/2 acre of lush, level grounds. The fenced backyard offers a serene natural canopy that feels worlds away—so tranquil, you may forget you're in the heart of the city. All exterior trimwork re-painted in 2024! Architectural roof 2013. 2-ish yrs old appliances! WH 2025! Most plumbing supply/drain lines (incl gas) updated w/in the last 10 yrs! Electrical updated to breakers.
