800 W Commerce St, Aberdeen, MS

OPEN HOUSE: May 29-31: F 4-6, Sat 11-2, Sun 1-4 Historic charm, modern comfort, and extraordinary setting define this 1935 home in Aberdeen’s most storied corridor, just 17 miles from Columbus Air Force Base. * The property sits among landmark residences, including a south-facing view toward the Reuben Davis House (1847) and a seasonal glimpse of The Magnolias (1850) next door. The house is sheathed in cypress under cypress clapboards. [An autograph and date (1935) were found on a sheath board beside a dinette window.] Storm windows and doors all around make it extremely well insulated from both temperature and sound. Shutters and wrought iron detail on the front porch lend the home a welcoming period charm. A 240V plug by the driveway allows convenient charging of modern EVs. Inside, the home offers 10-foot ceilings with fans in all except living/dining rooms, oak floors, wide woodwork, Craftsman details, and a gracious flow through French doors connecting the living, dining, and sunroom spaces. The living room features a timeless fireplace, and traditional burnished-brass chandeliers center the living and dining rooms. The sunroom, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, features porcelain tile and a capiz-shell chandelier, overlooking the lawn, trees, and historic neighbors. The kitchen blends generous, preserved mid-century birch cabinetry with hammered-copper hardware, new countertops, and a double window over the sink. A freshly painted laundry room echoes the original cabinetry and includes a 6-foot built-in desk. Bedrooms are bright and well-proportioned, with generous closets. The primary bedroom features a 12-foot built-in desk with bookcase above, and the 4-foot-wide closet has floor-to-ceiling shelving across the entire width. The second bedroom opens to the sunroom, and a flexible third bedroom/den/office includes a fireplace, two closets, and opens directly onto the broad back porch with a vintage swing. Two updated bathrooms include: • A jack-and-Jill bath with large walk-in shower, elevated toilet, re-faced 8-foot vanity with new sinks and countertop, vanity window centered between two oversized medicine cabinets, and a matching cupboard above the toilet. • Second bath with white country-style vanity, elevated toilet, tub/shower with glass doors, and original 6-foot built-in cupboard. A walk-up bonus room with a closet and an expansive attic with exposed beams provides excellent storage and intriguing possibilities for future expansion. A partial basement houses mechanical systems. The 1.5 acre grounds are exceptional. A magnificent 125–150-year-old oak shades the back lawn, while century old magnolia and ginkgo trees stand sentinel on either side of the house. The mature ginkgo’s brilliant autumn canopy is one of the property’s most beloved seasonal displays. Outdoor living spaces include a broad country-style back porch with classic painted balustrade and a vintage cypress swing. The driveway circles in front of the 1905 Barn & Carriage House, structurally sound with a recently replaced roof, currently being enrolled on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained historic home with character, comfort, and room to grow—set in one of Aberdeen’s most admired locations. * Mississippi law allows military families to choose any public school within a reasonable distance of their base.
