About This Home

As of June 2025

Secluded Charming Cottage Downtown Watkinsville! This 3 BR/2 BA vintage cottage on 2.01 lush acres was meticulously restored and updated in 2018 by builder Jared York. Attention was paid to every detail and the result was an old world mood with modern conveniences, including the addition of a new detached 2 car garage. Walk in through the front patio to the brick entryway and you will find the primary suite to your left, separate from the rest of the house. It has a gas fireplace, custom alcove for the bed, vaulted stained wood ceiling, custom designed ensuite bath with large closet. The rest of the house is to the right and has a convenient flow between the Great Room, Dining Room, and Kitchen. The well thought out kitchen boasts granite counters, high end appliances, gas range, custom cabinetry, and opens into the most convenient laundry/mud room that features additional cabinetry, wine cooler, wine rack, vintage porcelain laundry sink, and butcher block counters. Walking through the Dining Room with original built-ins in the corners, you find yourself if the cozy Great Room. This room features a wall of windows overlooking the front patio, gas fireplace, custom built-ins with media space, and access to the large screened porch. At the other end of the house, you will find the remaining 2 bedrooms and remodeled bath, all with great closet and storage space. A convenient unfinished basement/cellar houses the HVAC and provides incredible storage space with access through the inside of the house and out the back as well. Outside, a custom ornamental fence surrounds the perfectly placed fire pit off of the screened porch. And the abundance of trees and foliage provide year round privacy and vivid colors throughout the seasons. All custom lighting, Restoration Hardware fixtures, custom tile floors, and refinished hardwood floors are throughout the whole property and you will feel the care and thought put into each detail of this restoration. All of this is just an easy walk to downtown Watkinsville restaurants and shops, Wire Park, Watkinsville Woods, and the upcoming city preserved 100 acre farm and green space. Plus, there is easy access to Harris Shoals Park, Butler’s Crossing, Highway 316, Epps Bridge Shopping, and the University of Georgia. Such a serene and desirable property in the heart of Historic Watkinsville!
