The Reid Bailey house is one of Thomasville’s most significant homes, due to its visually grand stature and close proximity to historic downtown. The home has antebellum roots dating back to 1857, and underwent its first restoration during Thomasville’s resort era in the late 1800s. The Greek Revival architecture frame has been maintained through the decades, and much of the original footprint is intact.
Recently, the home underwent a full restoration, bringing it to the twenty-first century with a modern twist. It follows a current trend of historic homes with modern interiors, with all contemporary accents applying to codes and highlighting the integrity of the home simultaneously. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call our office. The Reid Bailey home is offered at $695,000.
“Millpond was, from the beginning, a family retreat, and happy memories were created every step of the way…That’s how the Wade family now blooms as the Sedgwick family, the fourth, the fifth and sixth generations to steward Millpond’s rich history into its next chapters.”
Organizer Ben McCollum reflected, “The driving force behind the event is that the area has so much scenic private land, but not a lot of public access. The Rally lets enthusiasts get off-road to tour them. It offers an inside glance to these majestic properties and their vistas.”
