About This Home

As of September 2020

This is a rare opportunity to own a turn-of-the-century estate home in one of Elberton's prime historic districts. This home has been lovingly cared for and has seen many updates and upgrades. Situated on 1.32 acres, this home has plenty of outside spaces to enjoy with friends and family. There is a spring on the edge of the property that feeds the stream that crosses the property and winds its way through Elberton. This stately Georgian-style brick home features 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths. A Florida sunroom that could be a 5th bedroom or office is surrounded by large windows that provide a stunning view of the open backyard and stream. Extensive ceiling, picture, window and door moldings can be found throughout the home and accent the 11-foot high ceilings on both the first and second floors. Every room in this home has the original fireplaces with original covers. While the fireplaces could be used, they would require updating or conversion to be operational but original fireplace covers are a decorative touch. The entry opens into a massive foyer that reveals a grand staircase with a window wall on the first landing. To the right, through 10-pane double-doors is the elegant dining room with oversized windows and a wonderful fireplace and mantle. Opposite the dining room through 10-pane double-doors is the the formal living room with fireplace and double doors that lead out onto a side sitting porch to enjoy cool breezes on warm evenings. At the end of the foyer is a wonderful master/guest/mother-in-law bedroom with an entrance from the living room. There is also a laundry room with separate entrance to the back patio area complete with a sink and shower. The first floor full bath features double sinks and a cast iron claw-foot tub. A New Gas Water Heater has been added. The totally remodeled kitchen features custom cabinets, stainless appliances, granite counter tops, gas range, eat at counter and great natural lighting through Southern facing windows. Off of the kitchen is a huge butler pantry with plenty of shelves, granite prep counter and a vegetable sink. Heading out of kitchen there is a quaint mud room that leads out to the back stairs. The crown jewel to this property is the custom 3-car garage with entertainment area on one end and a upper storage area. The entire interior of this garage (walls and ceiling) is covered with honey warm colored bead board. This garage is a mechanics dream. This estate is a must see!
