Description

Step into history with the iconic Childress-Ray House, a beautifully preserved 1847 estate just off the square in Murfreesboro. This stunning home, listed on the National Historic Register, blends timeless charm with modern comforts—perfect for homeowners and investors alike. With six bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, this spacious property is uniquely designed with three fully contained, furnished apartments—each featuring a private entrance, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area—while still offering a grand and elegant living space for an owner-occupant. Recent updates include two new HVAC units, refinished floors, new attic insulation, updated electronic keypad door locks, and security system wiring for modern convenience and efficiency. Whether you’re looking for a single-family conversion or wish to maximize its income-producing potential, the possibilities are endless! Enjoy classic Southern living with inviting front porches, a serene back patio, and multiple outbuildings— one being the original 1800s kitchen and fireplace - all just a 5 minute walk to the downtown Murfreesboro Square. If you’ve been dreaming of small-town charm with potential investment opportunities, the Childress-Ray House is a must-see!
