Luxurious Downtown Townhouse

The Townhouse at McMinnville, a former early 1900's retail establishment, is thoughtfully and tastefully brought into the 21st century with every modern amenity. Crisp and loft-like in design yet highlighting and enhancing the charming details of its past. Exposed handmade brick walls, airy high ceilings, beautiful woodwork and staircase, original pine floors beautifully worn by thousands of footsteps to a soft golden patina.

Most importantly is the location of this unusual and beautiful home. One block off the gorgeous McMinnville Town square, McMinnville is the quintessential Southern Town, and delivers true Southern Hospitality, while offering a beautifully revitalized and historic Main Street historic district just superb for walking!
