Historic homes always have a way of pulling you in, and this old Southern house in peaceful Pickens, Mississippi, is no exception. Built back in 1933, it sits quietly on almost half an acre, surrounded by open space and the calm of a rural neighborhood. From a distance, its classic colonial shape immediately hints at a past full of stories, waiting for someone patient enough to bring them back to life.
Walking inside, you can feel how spacious it really is. Nearly 2,900 square feet stretch across rooms that were clearly designed for family gatherings and slow, comfortable living. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a formal dining room, a living room, and a cozy keeping room that feels like it once hosted long conversations on quiet evenings. A bonus room with its own bathroom adds even more possibilities, whether for guests, hobbies, or extra family needs. Even the pantry is unusually large, almost as if it was built for busy kitchens and big meals that brought everyone together.
The house still carries its charm—covered porches on both the front and back, a brick exterior, and that unmistakable colonial feel. But time has left its mark. The home needs a full restoration, from updating the heating and cooling to fixing the unpaved parking area. It’s the kind of place where you can easily see the beauty beneath the surface, but you know it needs someone ready to give it care, work, and imagination.
Utilities like public water, sewer, electricity, and natural gas are already in place, blending the convenience of modern living with the home’s old Southern character. And with its quiet, rural surroundings, it offers the kind of privacy and peace that’s becoming harder to find.
For someone who loves history, space, and the idea of creating their own vision from the ground up, this property is exactly the type that becomes a passion project. With the right hands, it could once again become a warm, welcoming home with a story worth telling—one that combines past charm with a new beginning.
