A rare opportunity to own one of Sylacauga's historic treasures. Built in 1888, the distinguished Eugene Smith House sits on 0.43± acres in the heart of downtown and offers 4,354± sq ft of timeless architecture featuring 10 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 5 original fireplaces, 2 full kitchens, 3 HVAC systems, a lifetime roof, an unfinished basement, and a 2-car carport with an enclosed workskop area. Once home to the prominent Smith family, this grand residence was renowned for elegant social gatherings before being thoughtfully converted into apartments to provide housing for families displaced by the Sylacauga tornado of the 1930s. Zoned for residential or commercial use, it offers endless possibilities—from a stately private residence to a boutique business, bed & breakfast, event venue, or investment property. Kitchen appliances remain. Owner financing available with $40,000 down and $2,500/month for up to 2 years. Select photos have been virtually staged using AI to show its potential.
