One of the oldest and most distinguished homes in Thomasville, Georgia. The Wright House, Built in 1854 for Arthur P. Wright, a former mayor of Thomasville, is a stately Antebellum Home exuding timeless charm and historic significance. Nestled on a corner lot spanning 1.39 acres, this fully fenced estate offers six gated entries and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Once a beloved bed and breakfast, the home has undergone a meticulous, top-to-bottom restoration, blending 19th-century character with modern amenities. Your arrival begins at the oversized front porch, framed by an impressive, recessed entry with pedimented Greek Revival moldings and a row of dentils. The paneled double doors are flanked by glass sidelights and delicate rosettes, opening into a grand double foyer with soaring heart pine ceilings, coved doorways, and crown molding inset with soft ambient lighting. Original and reclaimed crystal chandeliers glitter above, some rescued from historic sites across Georgia. Steeped in charm, inside, the rich architectural heritage is unmistakable. Lintel moldings, soaring ceilings, and governor-paneled walls set the tone, complemented by plantation shutters, heart pine and parquet flooring throughout. Pocket doors, Victorian transoms, and five working gas fireplaces evoke a time gone by, while recessed and pendulum lighting blend seamlessly with the home's character. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream - fully equipped with Viking appliances, including a gas range and double wall ovens. A large custom built granite-topped island with sink, offering seating for four all framed by heart pine and parquet floors. The adjacent breakfast nook at the bay window offers peaceful views of the lush backyard. Repurposed materials from the Wickey House were used throughout, tying the past beautifully into the present. The primary suite is a luxurious retreat, complete with a serene sitting area, a very spacious walk-in closet, and a fully restored bath. Indulge in the oversized step-in tile shower with a rainfall fixture and built-in seating, dual granite-topped vanities, and original stained-glass windows salvaged from the Wickey House. Guest rooms offer comfort and charm, sharing a luxurious pass-through powder room featuring a granite-topped vanity sink and a classic clawfoot tub with shower. Just beyond the kitchen lies a flexible space ideal for a home office or reading nook as you approach the primary suite. The attic is floored and expansive enough to transform into a quiet library, a creative studio, or even a small loft style apartment. Down below, a semi-finished cellar with concrete floor and poly encapsulation offers additional storage or hobby space. The grandeur continues outside with an expansive open-air deck overlooking a serene, private backyard. Towering oaks, pecan trees, gecko garden, flowering azaleas, and fruit trees surround the space, while a brick BBQ grill and large concrete pad await your design touches. Two 220-volt hookups make the area RV/camper-ready. A detached two-car garage with power and an available raised irrigation system (currently not in use) support both convenience and comfort. Despite its age, The Wright House is updated for today's living: a 24kw whole-home Kohler generator, two brand new dual-pump HVAC systems and duct work, new plumbing and electrical systems throughout, a gas tankless water heater, and a brand-new roof. This property not only offers a home but a lifestyle. Located within walking distance of the Ritz Amphitheatre, Paradise Park, and vibrant Downtown Thomasville, you'll find yourself immersed in Southern charm, culture, and community. This is more than a home - it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of Thomasville's rich history. For discerning buyers who appreciate timeless architecture, refined restoration, and the elegance of a bygone era, this legacy property is waiting to be part of your story.
