About This Home

1008 3rd Avenue

Coming Soon!! This 1894 Queen Anne-style Victorian home retains key original elements such as a turreted living room bay, tall wavy glass windows, decorative Eastlake-style woodwork, and transom doorways throughout! The structure features a decorative front-facing gable w/ intricate bargeboard trim that visually transitions into the turret; a band of layered imbricated wood shingles below its conical roof cap. Reflecting formality & grandeur, a dramatic, curvilinear concrete stairway sweeps up to the front elevation. Asymmetrical on the exterior but with a balanced interior floor plan, the home exemplifies the design priorities of late 19th-century domestic architecture. Beneath the structure, original hand-hewn timber beams—shaped by axe or adze—remain intact, offering a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship and construction methods of the era. The property as a whole unfolds like a secret garden, with nearly half an acre of lush, level grounds. A majestic mature water oak, decades in the making, anchors the landscape alongside magnolias, a Japanese maple, wild cherry and a vibrant mix of flowering plants. The fenced backyard offers a serene natural canopy that feels worlds away—so tranquil, you may forget you're in the heart of the city. And yet, you're just around the corner from Opelika’s new Floral Park and a leisurely stroll to all things downtown! This is only the exterior...stay tuned for so much more including updates, allowances ($8,500) & treasured interior features!
