The ''Sissons House'' resides at 113 Ochs Highway. Built in 1884, one year before Saint Elmo was incorporated, and within a decade that Bessie Smith was born and the Walnut Street Bridge was built, makes this gem of a home a one of a kind opportunity presenting itself formally to the market only for the second time. The Sissons House is sitting on one of the most desirable lots in all of Saint Elmo. Located within a few minutes walk of Saint Elmo's thriving business center, still it offers a quiet privacy provided by the mature flora and fauna on its grounds, including oaks, magnolia trees, Japanese maples, redbuds,and dogwoods. The Sissons House takes us back in time about 142 years to a period of craftsmanship that is unparalleled in today's modern construction. A sampling of the orig inal features include 11' high ceilings, historic trim and moulding, a wrap around wooden porch, french window doors, wood floors, interior transom windows, and hand painted porcelain sconces. The Sissons House is breathtaking and unique in every way. Built as a summer residence, the home's original layout featured a dogtrot which functioned as an open air breezeway for the historic proprietors' pets and family to pass through the heart of the home to the outdoor kitchen. Today, this dogtrot presents as an enclosed and enlarged hallway that highlights the detailed trim work of the original soaring arches. The Sissons House showcases a wooden wrap around covered porch with restored and original wooden Victorian corbels lining its entirety. A formal parlor is secured by large internal double doors. The french door windows provide sun-kissed natural light and the original mantel framing to a see-through fireplace mantle that peaks into the kitchen. This truly exceptional parlor room provides the perfect space for welcoming guests into the comfortable and inviting home. The cafe-styled kitchen features a bay window providing a cozy eat-in breakfast nook, a free-standing gas range, 3 bay stainless steel sink with sprayer, a large island work station and pantry. The french door windows flow onto the private garden patio with a delightful amount of privacy provided by the crepe myrtle canopy. The formal dining room features original built-in cabinetry shelving from floor to ceiling with abounding room to host sophisticated cocktail hours and dinner parties. The house thoughtfully provides a full bathroom for each of its three generous sized bedrooms and two of them as an ensuite. The grounds showcase a timber-framed outbuilding with hand-milled beams harvested near Nashville. The previous proprietor of the property performed a "barn-raising" for this building and centered it around the historic brick chimney, originally serving the property as the outdoor kitchen stove. Remnants of the property's spring well, cistern, and former horse-drawn carriage pathway are still on the property telling the story of Saint Elmo's unique history. Imagine sipping mint juleps while lounging on the wrap-around front porch or garden patio, enjoying the birds and butterflies residing in the variety of mature landscaping throughout the grounds, all the while nestled into the privacy offered from the approximately 1 acre +/- lot that is still within walking distance of Saint Elmo's favorite haunts and local eateries. The Sissons House is so rare, so unique, and so special because it offers the opportunity to reside in a piece of history. This house has been a beloved second home and currently holds a highly coveted and transferable STVR permit. The current proprietors have made recent updates since they purchased it, to include a full bathroom installation in the front bedroom ensuite, updates to the electrical system, interior paint throughout, updated light fixtures, new sewer line, new rain gutters, one new electric water heater, and Santa Fe dehumidifier in the crawlspace. All furniture and furnishings convey with the property at no extra cost. Call for your private showing today! Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
