Meet the Figuers-Dale House, c. 1883, a rare Queen Anne Victorian and one of the jewels of Columbia’s West Sixth Street Historic District, the city’s most iconic street of turn-of-the-century architecture. The home’s story is as rich as its details. Lily Dale grew up in the Seventh Street home just behind this lot, and her father, longtime Columbia mayor William J. Dale, deeded it to Lily and her husband, Hardin Perkins Figuers. Hardin was a newspaper editor turned city attorney whose boyhood eyewitness account of the Battle of Franklin is still in print, and who published The Tennessee Manual of Chancery Pleading and Practice the same year the couple built this home. More than 140 years later, much of the original cedar siding and trim remains. Set among mature trees on a deep lot, this light blue 3-bedroom, two-story home shines with timeless character: ornate trim inside and out, original heart pine floors, soaring ceilings, tall stately windows and FIVE original fireplaces, one in each main living space. Step inside to a stunning floating curved staircase, craftsmanship rarely seen today outside multi-million-dollar new construction. A brand-new kitchen offers today’s comforts while complementing the home’s historic look, and both baths, one up and one down, have been playfully and thoughtfully reimagined. Two covered porches are made for morning coffee and evening conversation, and the back patio opens to a private, spacious backyard for entertaining, gardening or quiet evenings under the trees. Detached garage with generous loft storage. Painstakingly restored to honor its glory days; full list of updates available. Enjoy a short, picturesque walk to downtown Main Street’s coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques, tucked away from the bustle yet close to it all. A truly rare find.
