AN OUTSTANDING LANDMARK from Georgia's Past, as this stately home easily showcases its original classic architecture. The 2-story Wrap-around Porches, AND towering 2-story Ionic Pillars have been offering a grand Southern welcome here….. for almost 100 years.

As you enter the double-front Doors into Reception Room, with its Grand Entrance Hall & Stairway, you are taken back to a long-past era of antique Chandeliers, orig. ornate Fireplaces, high Ceilings, fine Woodwork & antique white-Pine Floors, massive Wood Doors with intricate Brass Hardware, & more. Time has stood still here, & this homeplace property has changed very little, during the past 98 years.

Home also offers classic Center Hall floor plan with elegant side Stairway. Beyond inviting Reception Room is Formal Parlor (Living Room), & then on into formal Dining Room, all complete with massive wooden sliding Pocket Doors, antique Chandeliers, along with original ornate, mirrored over mantle Fireplaces. Informal rooms are: spacious Den or Study (could be 4th Bedroom), also with the above features, & the old-time eat-in Kitchen with huge Pantry, adjoined by enclosed Glassed-in Back Porch, with adjacent Half Bath. Up the front Stairway to second floor is comfortable Sitting Area by landing, here you can also go out on the 2nd floor Porch, & admire a close-up view of the magnificent Pillars & Pilasters, along with the Balustrade with alternate square & turned spindles. Along center hall are 3 large Bedrooms, all with original fireplaces, etc., & 1 full Bath---that's straight out of the past, with orig.Claw foot Tub & other fully functional antique fixtures. At end of Center Hall is very private light & airy Sunroom, which looks out on the picturesque grounds below. Since Home is still mostly original, some updating on interior may be wanted by new owner. With high Ceilings & good air circulation, central heat/air systems were never installed. Fireplaces have gas heaters, some with some gas logs, & window AC units are placed in convenient locations, and used when needed.

The Grounds are a true delight to any plant lover, as a vast array of Georgia trees, shrubs & flowers truly thrive in this setting. Camellia gardens, azaleas, wisteria, dogwoods, grape arbor, along with the lofty oak, magnolia, pine, pecan & holly trees, have long been at home here.

When horses & wagons still went by, & roads were still dusty trails, the rambling Concrete Walkway was built far ahead of its time. Here you can walk along paths that others built long ago. Walk by small Fish Pond & Fountain, down around stately antique trees, & on over to the old 12' x 20' Garage, where teen-age boys tinkered on projects, many years ago. You can stroll on by the small heated green house, & other various small buildings. Orig. Smoke House is by back of House, but now used as utility room, & for storage. You can walk on out back lane, past more giant trees, & on past site of old gristmill, which now is long gone, but still honored by formal garden with small sundial. With over one acre corner lot, there is still ample room left for a new owner's special improvements & projects.

For admirers of Classical Southern Architecture & Historical Property, now after half a century, this stunning antique home is offered for sale. 'Hopefully, new owners will be found who will treasure & enjoy this unique property….. for another 50 years or so…. just as the present owner has done.
