The E.K. Jernigan House – Historic Elegance Meets Modern Opportunity
Discover timeless Southern charm at the E.K. Jernigan House, an extraordinary historic residence in the heart of Paris, TN. Ideally suited for refined living or a boutique bed and breakfast, this architectural treasure blends rich history with modern comfort.
Built in two phases—1851 and 1901—this impressive home showcases original heart pine hardwood floors, four distinctive fireplaces, and stunning transoms throughout. The elegant Empire roofline and Italian-crafted staircase immediately impress, while the thoughtful layout reveals unique living spaces across three stories.
The main level boasts a grand foyer, formal living and dining rooms (each with a fireplace), and a cozy country kitchen in the original rear section. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms with fireplaces, a sitting area that opens to a balcony overlooking the columned front porch, and an oversized carpeted dressing room with double closets and additional full and half baths. A finished storage room offers flexible use as a home office or fourth bedroom.
The third floor is a fully floored walk-up attic with soaring 10-foot ceilings—a perfect canvas for your vision. Outside, enjoy the graceful white horse rail fencing designed by the late Mr. John B. Travis, Jr., and a modern two-car garage connected via a charming covered walkway.
Sited on a generous corner lot blocks from the upcoming Paris Crossings Mall, this home is more than a residence—it's a legacy waiting to be continued.
