South Elm Events

Imagine Calling This Home… Or Your Business.

Some mornings begin with coffee on the wraparound porch.

Some evenings end under the glow of the courtyard lights, surrounded by friends, family, or guests.

Inside, you’ll find rooms filled with character, original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and craftsmanship that’s become increasingly rare.

Outside, nearly 1.6 acres provide privacy while still placing you just steps from the heart of Downtown Commerce.

Whether you dream of welcoming overnight guests, opening a one-of-a-kind restaurant, hosting unforgettable events, or simply owning one of the area’s most distinctive historic properties, South Elm offers the flexibility to make that vision your own.

This isn’t just a beautiful property.

It’s a place where memories have been made for generations—and where countless more are waiting to be created.

One of the standout features at South Elm Events is the outdoor setup — especially the checkered dance floor under the pavilion. It’s a space that’s been used for a lot of great events and really sets the tone for the property.

We’ve had a lot of interest over the past few weeks, and we’d really love to see this end up in the right person’s hands — someone who sees the potential here and takes it even further.

We’ve just made a $10K price adjustment and are now at $569,900.

The columns hit you first. Then the porch. Then the feeling that this place has been here a long time — and done a lot of things.

Step inside and it opens up — tall ceilings, original floors, rooms that don’t feel cookie-cutter.

Keep going and you start to see how it all connects — inside to outside, main house to courtyard, structure to open space.

Then you get to the back and it clicks.

You can picture it as it is today…
but you can also start to picture what else it could become.

That’s what makes this place different.

Now offered at $579,900.

Not every property needs a long explanation.

Some just stand on their own.

South Elm Events is one of those places — a historic home in Downtown Commerce with a presence you feel the moment you pull up.

Now offered at $579,900, it’s simply a rare opportunity to own something with this kind of character and flexibility in one place.

There’s something about South Elm that’s hard to fully explain in pictures.

You can talk about the history…
The columns…
The layout…
The courtyard…

But it doesn’t really click until you’re actually standing there.

The way the house is positioned.
The separation between spaces.
How the indoor and outdoor areas flow together.

It’s one of those properties where you start walking through it and ideas just start coming to you — what it could be, how it could work, what direction you’d take it.

That’s probably been the most common feedback we’ve gotten so far.

Now offered at $579,900, it’s a unique opportunity for someone who sees the vision and wants to do something different with it.

Appreciate everyone who’s taken a look or shared it so far.

We’ve had a lot of interest and conversations around South Elm Events over the last day, so I wanted to share this again from a slightly different perspective.

At its core, this is a unique opportunity for someone who wants more than just a property. Between the existing event setup, commercial kitchen, pavilion, and layout of the home, there’s already a foundation in place for someone to step in and take it further — or take it in a completely new direction.

Whether that’s continuing to run it as an event venue, creating a restaurant or concept space, or combining personal and business use in one location, the flexibility here is what makes it stand out.

Located right in Downtown Commerce, but tucked away enough to feel private, it’s one of those properties that’s hard to fully appreciate until you walk through it.

Now offered at $579,900.
