Property Description

Rare opportunity to own and restore one of Huntsville's most significant historic residences - 600 Franklin Street - reputed to be one of Huntsville's first brick homes and one of the oldest continuously occupied residences by the same family in Alabama. This home, built by Samuel Cruse between 1819 & 1823, represents one the the finest examples of Georgian architecture to be found in this area. The site was originally deeded to LeRoy Pope around 1809 and came into the possession of Dr. John Young Bassett in 1830 and has housed 5 generations of the Bassett family. Timeless romance echoes from this Twickenham gem. Understated elegance and southern graciousness capture your spirit as you enter through the original wide front door. The welcoming entrance hall is flanked by 3 beautiful fanlight doors, one fitted with multicolored glass - said to be brought from England around 1836. The rooms are beautifully scaled and proportioned with exceptional architectural detailing, high ceilings, 6 fireplaces, wood flooring, original 24-pane windows and a rare Adam fireplace mantel. A tree-canopied side yard provides the warmth and serenity uncommon to downtown and a private rear courtyard is framed by two humble historic buildings: servant quarters and smokehouse (both provide limitless possibilities to incorporate today's lifestyle.) The 10' brick arched garden wall under construction spans the rear property; the design was inspired by Charleston's historic Washington Square wall. The expansive grounds boast three 100+ year old fruit bearing pecan trees, magnolias, boxwoods, camellias, and jackson vine. This one-of-a-kind estate truly offers the quintessential lifestyle in the heart of the medical district. For more information call 527-5047. - Featured in the Huntsville Pilgrimage Tour of Homes in 1985 and 1998 - Historic tax status. (price subject to change based on restoration progress).
