Built in 1915, this French Provincial "masterpiece" was originally the property of Alfred and Clementine Montag. According to the property's listing, Driving Miss Daisy playwright Alfred Uhry has said the home once belonged to his beloved Aunt "Clemmie" and served as the play's inspiration and setting in his mind. This 6,064-square-foot, six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom beauty boasts updated amenities without sacrificing any of its vintage charm. Set on 1.2 manicured acres, it has a carriage house as well as numerous outdoor spaces for entertaining.
