If you love old houses, you know that the “feeling” of a home starts before you even reach the front door. This 1924 estate, known as “Fernwood,” has one of the most magical entrances I have ever seen. You pull off the street and onto a 400-foot long driveway that sits under a stunning arbor of pecan trees. As you drive through the shade of the old trees, the world feels like it slows down. The house is listed on Alabama’s Historic Register, which means it is a true piece of the state’s story. With over two acres of land right in the middle of town, it feels like your own private park, yet you can walk to the historic town square for coffee or shopping in just minutes.

Inside, this home is a dream come true for anyone who loves to entertain. With 4,300 square feet of space, the rooms are large, open, and full of the quality you only find in the 1920s. You can easily imagine hosting big holiday parties or Sunday brunches here. The house has a natural flow that makes it easy for guests to move from room to room while admiring the historic details. With four bedrooms and nearly four bathrooms, there is plenty of room for a big family or for friends to stay the night. Every corner of this home feels like it was built with care and pride. It is solid, elegant, and ready for a new owner who appreciates the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

The owners have added professional exterior lighting that makes the house and the pecan trees look incredible after the sun goes down. When the lights come on, the whole property glows, making it the perfect spot for evening garden parties or just sitting on the porch and enjoying the quiet Alabama nights. It is very rare to find a property that offers this much land—over two acres—while still being so close to the heart of the city. You get the peace of a country estate with the convenience of living in town.

Fernwood is truly a unique property. It isn’t just a house; it’s a landmark. It has been loved for a hundred years, and it shows in every detail. If you want a home that makes a statement and offers a lifestyle of grace and history, this is the one. It is a special opportunity to own a piece of Scottsboro’s heritage and make it your own.
