This is your chance to own a piece of Grand Bay's history. Built around 1840 at the start of the community, this home was once a Doctor's residence. A wide front porch complete with a swing welcomes you into the home. A central hallway runs from the front to back door allowing the breeze to flow through. It has the original wood flooring, nearly 12 ft high bead board ceilings and bead board walls. Four large rooms run off the central hallway, with the 2 front rooms hosting the floor to ceiling plantation style windows. Many have antique glass and there are movable transoms over most of the doors. One of the back rooms has an unfinished, but modern kitchen, awaiting your finishing touch and a bathroom with a claw foot tub. A half bath in the front room of the house with room for installation of a shower stall or tub. Three of the rooms still have the mantles from the fireplaces. Two of the rooms have built in closets. The home has central heat and air, on demand gas water heater, public water and septic tank. Sewer is available at the street. Previously used as a vintage boutique, the Dezauche House has turn of the 19th century charm and one of the largest oak trees in Grand Bay. The rear yard has a Majestic magnolia, a grape arbor and fig trees grow wildly in the back yard which is partially fenced. There is also a garage and shed. If you love old homes and don't mind a few DYI projects, this home is for you. There are no restrictions or zoning, so you can use this property for residential or commercial. Excellent spot for a retail shop, B&B, Restaurant, Tea Room or simply sit on the porch or your home and watch the sunset. Train enthusiasts will enjoy being next to the CSX railroad.
