In the hands of new owners once more, the historic house was extensively renovated. The red exterior brickwork was painted white and the decorative metal railings that encircle the perimeter of the roof were painted black. Inside, modern fixtures and fittings were installed, however, the curved, wood-panelled staircase remains at the heart of the home.

The property was sold in December of 2023 for $240,000 (£194k), a transaction that hopefully signifies the start of a new chapter for this Alabama icon.
