Property Description

Completed in 1830, Crumptonia is a remarkable Greek Revival residence offering approximately 5,500 square feet of history, architectural character and extraordinary potential. Set on approximately five acres of Alabama Black Belt, this is an opportunity to restore a home whose story began more than 170 years ago. Crumptonia was designed on a grand scale. Its monumental two-story portico and soaring columns create an unforgettable first impression, while the interior retains many of the elements that reveal the craftsmanship and proportions of its era. The original residence follows a traditional double-pile, four-room-over-four-room plan. Inside are two original staircases, two double chimneys, multiple fireplaces, tall windows which are still in great condition, wide-plank wood floors, substantial period millwork and generously proportioned rooms. Above the second floor, an unfinished third floor extends across the original structure, offering another fascinating glimpse into the home's construction and history. An early-20th-century kitchen addition adds another chapter to Crumptonia's story it was once used as a post office in Orrville. THE RESTORATION HAS ALREADY BEGUN Crumptonia needs a visionary owner, who will not be starting at the beginning. The roof has recently been replaced, and significant work has been undertaken at the foundation, which has been repaired, reinforced. These major improvements provide an important head start for the next owner as attention turns toward the home's interior systems, finishes and preservation of its historic architectural features. Earlier documentation described Crumptonia as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, although it was not listed at that time. Buyers interested in historic designation, preservation incentives or restrictions should independently verify the property's current status and available programs. Crumptonia is not being presented as a turnkey historic home. It is something much rarer: the opportunity to save one. The weathered floors, exposed wood lath and aging finishes tell the story of a house awaiting restoration but look beyond them. The sweeping staircases remain. The fireplaces remain. The towering windows remain. The remarkable front portico remains. And behind it all stands the scale, symmetry and craftsmanship that have defined Crumptonia since 1855. For the buyer who understands historic architecture, preservation and the value of bringing an important property back to life, Crumptonia offers the chance to do more than renovate a house. Restore the house. Preserve the story. Make Crumptonia yours.
