Built in 1914 and once home to beloved Eclectic physician Dr. William McGehee Owsley, this historic Craftsman sits on 1.78 acres right in the heart of downtown Eclectic and it has never stopped being special. At 3,200 square feet, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the kind of character and craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated. Original heart pine floors, soaring 14-foot ceilings, transom windows, eight fireplaces, and a charming walk-through butler's pantry tell the story of a home that has been loved for over a century. The wraparound porches are made for slow mornings with coffee, quiet evenings watching the rain, and everything in between. The kitchen, the heart of this home, was completely remodeled less than five years ago and custom designed to honor the home's history while making it modern and functional for everyday life. A wet bar, gorgeous views of the back field, and an original brick fireplace uncovered during the remodel make it truly one of a kind. The library offers natural light, privacy, and the quiet of a book lover's dream. The mudroom includes a custom wash station, and the layout flows beautifully for hosting. Step outside to 1.78 acres with established peach, mulberry, and fig trees, hundred-year-old oaks, magnolia trees, and a back deck where deer wander into the field at dusk. And then there's the town itself. Walk to downtown for coffee or ice cream, to the school, the playground, the cotton festival in the fall, or the band on Friday nights. This is Eclectic at its finest, quiet, kind, and close-knit. Some homes have four walls. This one has a story. Come see it for yourself.
