A gated brick estate just off Main Street — private grounds, a heated saltwater pool, and downtown Marion at the end of the block. This 1933 1.5-story brick home sits behind the gate on Rutherford Road, a short stroll from the shops, dining, breweries, and events of historic downtown Marion. Come home to quiet. Walk out for coffee, dinner, or Friday night on Main. The main floor lives like a private wing. The primary suite and ensuite are on this level, with a dedicated home office that looks over the fenced front lawn and Rutherford Road — work with the light, not the commute. A custom kitchen with bar and breakfast nook is the everyday gathering spot. Formal living with fireplace and a separate dining room keep the house dressed for company. The sunroom, with a half bath, faces the pool: morning coffee, late swim, all in one room. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath give guests and family their own floor. The full basement is the quiet luxury of a house this age — storage, hobbies, projects, all under the same roof. Outside is the showpiece. A newer saltwater pool with gas heater. Gated grounds. An oversized detached garage and workshop. Brick, fence, gate, water — the kind of in-town compound that rarely comes up in Marion. Four bedrooms. Two full baths and a half. Pool. Workshop. Downtown at your door.

Nearly a century of character, thoughtfully restored for the way we live today. Built in 1929, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been a true labor of love, with the current owners spending the past five years carefully restoring and improving the property while honoring the craftsmanship and character of its era. Step inside and you'll immediately see details that simply aren't found in most newer homes—stunning original hardwood floors, substantial window and door casings, beautiful moldings and original fireplace surrounds that preserve the home's history. While the original fireplaces have been closed and are no longer in use, their craftsmanship remains an integral part of the home's character. One fireplace has been brought back to life with the addition of a wood stove, creating a wonderfully cozy gathering space. The kitchen was taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt, combining modern function with finishes thoughtfully selected to complement the home's age. Subway tile extends all the way to the ceiling, while butcher-block countertops on the island, gold-tone fixtures, custom-built pantry doors and replaced appliances create a space that feels fresh without feeling out of place in a 1929 home. That same attention to detail carries into both renovated bathrooms. Rather than simply installing contemporary finishes, the owners intentionally selected materials and fixtures that reference the home's original era. One bath features classic subway tile, rich color, traditional-style fixtures and a beautiful stained-glass transom above the door. Even the new bathtub was specifically selected for its vintage-inspired design, complemented by warm brass fixtures and carefully chosen finishes. These are renovations designed to belong in this house—not erase its history. An enclosed former porch was also completely transformed into a functional mudroom and laundry room. The floors were leveled and the space rebuilt to create an entirely new everyday-use area. And the improvements go well beyond cosmetics. Within the past five years, the owners have replaced the HVAC system, added a mini-split upstairs, upgraded the electrical, encapsulated the crawl space, installed new lighting, added new decking and provided a generator connection—with the generator conveying. A standing-seam metal roof adds another substantial improvement. Outside may be every bit as special as the interior. New pathways wind through thoughtfully created gardens filled with both ornamental plantings and an impressive collection of established edibles, including strawberries, asparagus, apples, cherries, figs, peaches, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, along with raised garden beds and more. Relax on the deck, gather around the firepit, work in the garden or simply enjoy this tucked-away setting beneath the trees. Conveniently located near downtown and Lake James, this isn't simply an older home that has been remodeled. It is a 1929 home that has been carefully brought forward while allowing the craftsmanship, warmth and personality of its past to remain. From the gardens and outdoor spaces to the smallest interior details, the work here has been researched, considered and completed with care. Come appreciate the labor of love that's already been poured into this home—and add your own chapter to its nearly 100-year story.
