Property Description

One of Durant's most recognizable historic homes, thoughtfully preserved and significantly improved with more than $35,000 in major infrastructure upgrades completed between 2025 and 2026. Originally built in 1914, this stately three-story brick estate offers the architectural character historic home enthusiasts love, paired with the modern system improvements today's buyers want. The home features 7 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, multiple living and entertaining spaces, original hardwood floors, intricate millwork, crown molding, coffered ceilings, historic tilework, and 4 fireplaces. A grand columned front porch welcomes guests, while spacious interior rooms provide flexibility for residential living, multi-generational use, or hospitality opportunities. Recent improvements include a FULL ELECTRICAL REWIRE, modern electrical panels, EXTENSIVE PLUMBING UPGRADES including replacement of galvanized plumbing with PEX, new water service lines to both the main residence and carriage house, and crawlspace moisture mitigation with a commercial-grade dehumidification system. These upgrades address many of the concerns commonly associated with historic homes while helping preserve the property's long-term integrity. Situated on a prominent corner lot shaded by mature magnolia trees, the property also includes an in-ground pool, outdoor entertaining spaces, a detached garage, and a separate carriage house with private living quarters (including full kitchen, laundry, primary suite with en suite bathroom, and gas fireplace.) The carriage house has recently generated approximately $1,400 per month in rental income, creating an attractive opportunity for supplemental income, guest accommodations, or multi-generational living. Whether you're searching for a distinctive luxury residence, an investment opportunity, or a piece of Durant history, 809 W. Elm offers a rare combination of historic charm, modernized infrastructure, income-producing potential, and unforgettable curb appeal.
