Property Description
Substantial wooden double doors open beneath a stained-glass transom into a magnificent central foyer. An Arts and Crafts light fixture and handsome staircase with acorn-topped newel posts introduce the exceptional craftsmanship found throughout the home. Ceilings rise approximately 12 feet downstairs and 10 feet upstairs. Extensive longleaf heart pine floors and ceilings, substantial moldings, bull's-eye rosettes, wood-and-glass transoms, and historic door hardware preserve the richness of its 19th-century architecture.
The front living room features a graceful bay window and wood-manteled fireplace. Distinctive interior arches, characteristic of the home's Italianate design, connect the living room, parlor, and formal dining room. Tall windows bring abundant natural light into these impressive rooms, and doors open to the surrounding porches. Across the central hall, a separate den features a sunlit bay-window alcove overlooking the grounds. The downstairs bedroom, currently used as a library, offers built-in bookshelves and access toward the brick patio. A main-floor bathroom retains an antique clawfoot tub.
The kitchen was reimagined in 1999 in the tradition of the English Arts and Crafts movement It features cabinetry with stained-glass panels, decorative tilework, generous storage, and a central island. Two authentic 19th-century English Art Nouveau tiles are among its distinctive details. Tall windows, natural wood finishes, and colorful accents make this a particularly memorable room.
Upstairs, a spacious landing with towering built-in bookshelves leads to three generously proportioned bedrooms, each featuring heart pine floors, high ceilings, and substantial wood trim. The primary suite opens to a balcony and includes walk-in closet space and an adjoining bathroom with separate vanities, a glass-enclosed walk-through shower, and a soaking tub. Another bedroom features the home's third fireplace, with a richly detailed wood mantel and tile surround. The remaining bedroom opens to a second balcony. A second upstairs bathroom features an antique clawfoot tub with shower and botanical wallpaper. The laundry area is also upstairs, and generous closets and attic space provide exceptional storage.
Outside, painted porch ceilings, broad steps, and a porch swing add to the home's Southern character. Landscaped gardens, mature shade trees, and a privacy fence for the backyard grace the grounds, and the patio incorporates antique brick from the property. A carport provides covered parking and additional storage.
Glenmore's history is closely tied to Hattiesburg's own. Built for the Bertrand family and later owned by J. P. Carter, who served as Mississippi's lieutenant governor, the home is on the National Register-listed Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood District. Extensively restored in the 1980s, it has also welcomed distinguished literary visitors, including Derek Walcott, Richard Ford, Kurt Vonnegut, and John Grisham. More than a century of architectural beauty, preservation, and history makes Glenmore an extraordinary part of Hattiesburg's heritage.
