There’s something magical about fall in Plaza Midwood — the canopy of golden leaves, the scent of woodsmoke drifting through the air, and neighbors gathered on front porches with coffee in hand. And now, right in the heart of this beloved historic district, a home has arrived that captures everything we love about the season — warmth, craftsmanship, and cozy Southern sophistication.
