$1,195,000
Now offered at an improved price, reflecting a rare opportunity in Midtown, this 5,130-square-foot residence tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Midtown and backing to the established South Oleander Estates, carries both architectural pedigree and a personal history that gives it a rare sense of depth and character. Designed by renowned Southern architect William Poole and built by Keith Thompson--who originally called the home his own--this property tells the story of thoughtful craftsmanship, timeless design, and lived-in warmth from its very foundation.
From the moment you arrive, the grand antebellum-style front porch sets the tone. It's more than an entryway--it's an invitation, capturing the essence of Southern living with a presence that feels both elegant and welcoming.
Inside, the home unfolds in a natural rhythm of generous spaces, abundant light, and classic detailing. Gorgeous hardwood floors run throughout, tying each room together with warmth and continuity. The main living area is anchored by a welcoming fireplace, creating a central gathering point for everyday life. A dedicated library offers a quiet, refined space for reading, working, or retreat, while the formal dining room brings a sense of occasion to holidays and special gatherings.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen offers a spacious footprint and endless potential--ready for a new owner to reimagine and create a custom centerpiece tailored to their lifestyle. With five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, the layout is both functional and flexible. The primary suite features the rare and highly desirable convenience of two separate bathrooms, offering privacy and ease in a way few homes can match. Upstairs, one bedroom includes its own private exterior entrance, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or a fully independent suite.
A large bonus room adds even more versatility, easily functioning as a sixth bedroom, media room, or additional living space depending on need. Throughout the home, ample storage enhances day-to-day livability and keeps everything feeling organized and intentional.
Out back, the covered porch extends the living space outdoors, creating a comfortable setting for year-round relaxation or entertaining in a private, peaceful environment. An additional approximately 650 square feet offers the opportunity to expand into heated living space, providing even more room to grow and personalize.
This home is being offered as-is, with the price thoughtfully improved to reflect the unique opportunity it presents. It is a rare chance to own a William Poole-designed residence with original builder provenance, exceptional scale, and a Midtown location that continues to stand the test of time--ready now for its next chapter.
