North Limestone has a mix of early-1900s home styles. You can find spacious Queen Anne and Italianate houses, alongside updated bungalows and shotgun-style homes with smaller footprints. These often have classic details like tall ceilings, original hardwood floors, covered front porches and period woodwork. Some homes date back to the late 1800s, with a handful listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many properties have been renovated with modern finishes while keeping their original bones intact. Newer Craftsman-style builds have also found their way into the mix.
