“Historic Dearing Street has an aura—quintessentially Southern, intimate, tranquil, and downright alluring . . . Dearing Street remains the essence of neighborhood and charm [with an] inescapable, unexplainable air of hospitality mixed with a reverence for nature.”—Frances Taliaferro Thomas, Historic Dearing Street
Welcome to the Goodwin-McNeil home built circa 1908-1913, nestled on shady Dearing Street and overlooking a downtown corridor. This two story, craftsman bungalow tells of modern conveniences with artfully preserved timeless character. You’ll be greeted by the perfect place to unwind, the grand front porch.
