This lovely Victorian home with Dutch Colonial and early Craftsman influences is truly unique! Built in 1911, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Thoughtfully renovated over the years, it perfectly marries historic charm and modern convenience. This move-in ready gem has approximately 2,500 square feet with 3-4 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths. It has loads of historic charm, including original hardwood floors, high ceilings, extensive moulding, five working fireplaces (one with gas logs), three sets of working pocket doors, ceiling fans throughout, original French doors (two with working transom windows), plantation shutters, and original wavy glass windows, and original doors, door hardware, and light fixtures. But don’t let the historic charm fool you. This home has been updated where it matters. The kitchen and bathrooms are fully renovated and modern. The home has a newer roof, air conditioner and ductwork, water heater, electrical, and plumbing, all of which are approximately three years old and regularly serviced. It has new water and electrical meters. Love open concept? Check. Entering through the Craftsman-inspired glass front door, one enters a stunning formal living room with large windows behind plantation shutters and a fireplace with gas logs. To the right through working pocket doors is a formal library with fireplace, quaint window seat, and built-in storage. This room through the years served as a third bedroom. Just beyond the living room through a second set of working pocket doors is a formal dining room with Victorian fireplace with mirrored back and direct access to the lovely screened porch. Just beyond the dining room is the show-stopping kitchen with huge windows overlooking a brick patio and koi pond. It sports modern stainless steel appliances and light fixtures, gas stovetop, double ovens, pristine white hard surface countertops, new cabinetry, a dedicated pantry, and an L-shaped bar overlooking the adjoining family room. Open to the kitchen is the family room with wet bar with beverage storage. French doors lead to the deck and large backyard beyond. A second French door serves as one of three side entrances to the home. Just off the family room is a large laundry room with shelving and full-size Bosch washer and dryer that remain. This could also be used as an informal fourth bedroom since it adjoins the home’s second full bath with walk-in shower. On the other side of the home is the master bedroom with fireplace, large windows, twin closets, and direct access to the open side porch. The master bath is lovely with extensive travertine tile, antique vanity, and antique soaking tub with handheld shower sprayer that could easily be converted to a traditional shower. Across a small alcove from the master is the second bedroom with wavy glass windows, plantation shutters, lovely window treatments that stay, a working fireplace, and a small closet. Just across the hall is a handy half bath. This home provides many outdoor living areas perfect for enjoying South Georgia’s year-round temperate climate. There are large sister porches on either side of the home—an open porch just off the master bedroom and a screened porch adjoining the dining room. Just behind the screened porch, and beyond a French door from the kitchen, is a quaint brick patio surrounded by a working koi pond with a charming bridge leading to the side yard. Around the back of the home is a large deck overlooking the expansive backyard.
