763 Gillespie St. Great House For Sale

SOLD - SOLD - SOLD - SOLD


It is a rare occasion in Belhaven that you have a chance to buy a large house suitable for a family that has such classic details as 763 Gillespie.This 3200 square foot 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home was renovated in 2008 and was updated top to bottom.From the moment you step onto the 19 X 13 front porch with original Corinthian columns, you have a sense that this house is unique. Most people’s living rooms are smaller than 19 X 13! You enter the house into a 17 x 20 parlor with beamed ceiling and to your right you enter the 22X 15 Living room with the original fireplace. All the rooms in this house are huge. The Kitchen/ Keeping room is totally updated with Granite slab and stainless appliances. There is also a 1000 square foot basement with 10 foot ceilings and 5 windows. You would be hard pressed to find a house of this age that has so much storage space. All in all, the most impressive parts of this house to me are the trim carpentry details and the floors. No one could afford to build this way today. Call me if you would like to schedule a showing.             601-624-7948      .

Iron Horse Grill - Reopening!

Hey Jacksonians!

Great news - the Clarion Ledger published an article this morning stating that the Iron Horse Grill will be renovated and reopen!  It is a very exciting article, and you can read it all here.

Considering that the image to the left (that is in the CL article) has a Wier+Boener logo I'd imagine they're the architects on the project which makes it all the more exciting.  They have the vision to carry the project through to beautiful completion.

It's exciting!  Pass on the word.

Long Live Fried Chicken

Occasionally I do enjoy a KFC meal, but I suppose I'll never have one here again.  Yep, that is the look of progress!  The Kentucky Fried Chicken on State St. has been demolished and by the looks of it - it only took about 30 minutes to reduce it to this.  As you are aware, the $45 Million Baptist Hospital mixed use development is now underway.  To quote directly from the Greater Belhaven Neighborhood Foundation, the "development will include, retail space, medical offices, townhomes and a parking garage.  It is expected to take approximately 18 months to complete."  You've probably noticed that they've installed perimeter fence around the whole site now, and demolition will continue south and in a clockwise pattern as they tear down the remaining structures.

If you haven't yet seen the renderings of what is coming, then you've got to see them here.  It will be impressive, and there is even talk about a restaurant space coming available on Manship St. which will face the current Baptist Healthplex.  It ought to be fun to watch, and check back in often - we'll be posting fun updates as progress continues.

As for fried chicken, do not fret - McDade's has a dynamite lunch plate.

Video Tour Update

Friends, we've got an exciting video tour update of the progress here at Jackson's newest real estate brokerage. The NeighborHouse office building is coming along nicely, and there's really something to see these days.  We're past all the not so fun parts of the rehab and we're on to the pretty stuff.  Currently tile is being laid, painters are doing their thing and we'll refinish the hardwood soon.  If you haven't seen it in person - please drop by.  Either Walt or I would love to show it to you.  We're proud of it, and it's fun to see it.

Thanks - your local Realtor,

Dallis

P.S. (shhh...) There is talk of a grand opening party... (shhh...)
