Magnolia Hill Southern Simplicity Meets Timeless Style at 2517 31st Avenue, Meridian, Mississippi Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in historic Meridian, Magnolia Hill at 2517 31st Avenue offers a rare blend of architectural legacy, modern comfort, and unmatched regional access. A graceful nod to Colonial Revival sensibilities, softened by Craftsman charm and wrapped in the unpretentious warmth of Minimal Traditional architecture, this house tells the story of the South — rooted, resourceful, and resilient. From the moment you arrive, the home exudes balance and intention. The symmetrical front façade, central walkway, and inviting gabled roof evoke Colonial Revival influences, yet with a softened, modest tone — stripped of pretense and crafted for Southern living. Wide eaves and deep overhangs shelter the home from both the noonday sun and Gulf Coast storms, while double-hung windows with divided panes reflect the region’s enduring love for classic design. A modest covered entry stoop, framed by subtle trim and simple columns, speaks to a time when homes were built to last — with just enough architectural detail to make them memorable. Inside, the layout prioritizes function and flow — a hallmark of early 20th-century Southern cottages. Original hardwood floors, tall baseboards, and the occasional built-in cabinet whisper of generations past, while natural light pours in through generous windows, illuminating each room with a quiet sense of peace. Now beautifully remodeled, Magnolia Hill seamlessly blends historic soul with updated livability: Renovated kitchen and refreshed bathrooms with modern finishes Updated electrical systems for peace of mind Fresh interior and exterior paint, lighting, and landscaping upgrades And beyond the main floor, the property opens to even more opportunity: A walk-up attic, ideal for future expansion or creative use An unfinished basement ready for storage, a workshop, or studio A rare underground garage unit, tucked beneath the home for secure parking or projects A private .68-acre lot, surrounded by mature trees for shade, privacy, and serenity Located in one of Meridian’s most culturally significant areas, Magnolia Hill is just around the corner from the iconic Merrehope mansion and sits only minutes from the essentials.
