Property Description

Imagine your perfect dream home to include an entrance hall so stunning and elegant, with a rotunda reaching up to a dome above the floor's inlaid masterpiece, and perfectly encircled by a beautiful balustrade. As soon as you enter, your senses feel as if they come alive. If architectural brilliance is what you love, this home is a gemstone you don't want to miss! The John Dicks House is one of the most architecturally significant homes in the state of Mississippi, and the first to feature Colonial Revival elements of the late 19th century. It was designed by Natchez native, Sidney V. Stratton, of the highly respected New York architectural firm of McKim, Meade, & White. Located in a spacious garden setting in Historic Downtown Natchez, this 6 bedroom, 5 bathroom house has over 6,000 square feet of elaborately detailed interiors with 14' high ceilings decorated with elaborate plaster moldings and centerpieces throughout. Through the front double doors, the rotunda's inlaid floor design was hand cut and placed by master craftsmen of the day, with a beautiful five point star in the center. Above the rotunda, the ornate dome appears to rise almost 30 feet. The entrance hall mantle is a three-dimensional work of art with beautifully sculptured rose blooms branching outward. Each and every fireplace mantle throughout the house is unique with decorative designs. There is no one mantle in the house, exactly alike. The curving staircase balustrade is solidly constructed, and begins with a crystal sphere ball on top of the base newel, leading up to the S-shaped hallway on the second floor. The main entrance is adorned with two elegant and spacious parlors, one on either side of the rotunda, as well as a sophisticated dining room. Baccarat chandeliers hang from the ceilings of one of the parlors and the dining room. The master bedroom and it's full bathroom are also on the first floor, along with the kitchen, butler's pantry, den, and second 3/4 bathroom. Upstairs provides four additional finished bedrooms and one unfinished bedroom, one full bathroom, and two 3/4 bathrooms. This home also includes an elevator.
