Now that season three has ended for the Vampire Diaries the house which was the setting for the home of the series’ protagonist, Elena Gilbert, has gone on the market. The fictitious Mystic Falls, Virginia, the town the series was filmed in was actually Covington, Georgia. Since small southern towns are the same all over the south, Covington worked perfectly. But don’t be disappointed, southerners enjoy their superstitions and its somewhat taken for granted that most older homes have at least one mild-mannered ghost.

This is the quintessential southern home of yesteryear with its large wraparound white-columned porch where you stretch out in the swing on lazy summer afternoons with your ice tea and a good novel. The porch is also the gathering place for neighbors to stop by and chat about the price of tomatoes and speculate about who is leaving widow Gibson’s house as late as 10pm several nights a week. In the evening it’s where the family sits after the dinner dishes are done, to talk about their day and watch while the youngest run around the yard catching fireflies. It’s the southern house we all want in hopes of recreating the simpler, more satisfying lives of our ancestors.

This charming 5,901sf home has large rooms with high ceilings and transom windows over the interior doors ensuring optimum air circulation. All the original woodwork has been well preserved, and the house has the original hardwood floors. The kitchen is large and roomy and has been updated with stainless steel appliances. Original glass front cabinets add that pleasing extra touch. The master suite is conveniently located on the first floor with 4 large bedrooms upstairs. There is a carriage house in the back that has been turned into a duplex, which affords rental income. The home is located on a tree-lined street just steps from the Town Square where concerts, parades and races are held.

The best of southern small town living offered at $385,000.
