About this home
Iconic John Joyner Smith House, Circa 1811 - 400 Wilmington Street A rare opportunity to own one of the most distinguished historic homes in the area, the John Joyner Smith House stands proudly on a full city block with commanding presence and timeless elegance. Originally constructed circa 1811, this architectural gem underwent a significant transformation in the 1850s, when the main entrance was relocated to Wilmington Street, giving the home its current distinguished front facade and grand street presence. This 4,450 sqft main residence features 4 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including double parlors adorned with elaborate crown molding, multiple fireplaces, and expansive wood floors throughout. The formal living and dining rooms offer elegant spaces for entertaining, while jib windows on both deep porches ensure effortless indoor-outdoor flow and optimal southern breezes. Two-story piazzas, supported by eight full-height round columns, provide gracious outdoor living with sweeping views and unmatched charm.
With large windows facing Bay Street and an elaborately detailed exterior, the home is bathed in natural light and offers breathtaking views in every direction. Despite its grandeur, it retains a sense of warmth and livability, ideal for both grand entertaining and comfortable day-to-day living.
