Some old houses have been polished into perfection; others still carry the promise of what they could become. 308 Olcott Avenue in Bridgeport, Alabama, belongs to the second category—a historic Victorian residence with distinctive architectural details waiting for someone willing to bring them back to life.
Look closely at the arched windows, rounded walls, and built-in glass-front cabinets: these are the features that give the home its individuality and make its original craftsmanship worth preserving.
308 Olcott Ave, Bridgeport, AL 35740 | Offered at $100,000
3 Bedrooms | 2 Full Bathrooms | 2,200 Sq Ft | Built Before 1900 | 0.50 Acres
Inside, the parlor fireplace evokes an earlier age when the hearth was the natural gathering place, while the staircase connects the home’s finished floors with the quiet grace of traditional Victorian design.
Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms occupy approximately 2,200 square feet, with an additional bathroom in the unfinished attic offering potential for future improvement.
The property also includes an adjacent lot, bringing the combined land to approximately half an acre and creating more room to shape the grounds around the house.
This is not a turnkey restoration; the home is being sold as is, making a careful inspection and realistic renovation plan essential.
At $100,000, this is an opportunity for an old-house enthusiast to rescue a pre-1900 residence, preserve its unusual architectural details, and give a neglected piece of Bridgeport’s past a future worthy of its character.
