Property Description

Offered publicly for only the fourth time in over 120 years, the Williams-Cozart Estate stands as Wilson's most admired historic home — a 1903 architectural masterpiece built for Jesse Bunn Williams, son-in-law of BB&T Bank founder Alpheus Branch. Set on nearly two acres of park-like grounds just one block from Barton College, this Classic Revival residence welcomes you with a dramatic ''Gone with the Wind'' staircase, hand-carved millwork, and intricate plaster ceilings that showcase a bygone era of craftsmanship and elegance. With over 6,200 square feet of living space and an additional 1,100-square-foot unfinished third level, the home offers endless potential for expansion or creative use. Each of the four ensuite bedrooms provides privacy and comfort, complemented by five fireplaces, a banquet-sized dining room featuring French Zuber wallpaper, and a working passenger elevator — a rare luxury from the 1900s. Every detail, from original oak and pine floors to copper plumbing and three-zone HVAC, has been lovingly maintained, blending historic charm with modern convenience. A two-story carriage house offers even more opportunity — ideal for a guest suite, office, or short-term rental. The grounds, designed by renowned landscape architect Charles Gillette, are a private sanctuary featuring two rare Coastal Redwoods, hand-laid brick walkways, and tranquil water features. Located near Wilson's revitalized downtown, the new YMCA, and the future Milwaukee Brewers minor league ''Wilson Warbirds'' stadium, this estate is perfectly suited for a luxurious private residence, Bed & Breakfast, or boutique event venue. The extended time on market reflects the home's distinctive historic nature — not its condition. Meticulously preserved and in excellent structural and mechanical health, this extraordinary property is ready for its next chapter — a place where legacy, beauty, and opportunity meet.
