Buy a piece of history! The J. Polk Gholston house was built in 1938 as a wedding present from Mr. Gholston's parents. His grandfather had actually purchased the whole block from Mr. Comer, founder of the town in 1890. Polk Gholston's parents had built their home on one lot of the property and this home was built on the lot next door. Mr. Gholston lived in the home until 2009 when he passed away at the age of 93. The property includes 2 parcels for a combined 1.04 acres encompassing the 3885 sq foot home, a cabin that was moved onto the property for Mrs. Gholston –and served as her inspirational art studio, a detached garage/workshop/office and beautiful gardens with brick pathways, wrought iron fencing, grape vines, rose bushes and an variety of tree, shrub and flowering plants.The 5 bedroom/4 full bath home was designed by Gholston and his father. One highlight in the home includes the fireplace mantle and door trim throughout the home made from wood that came from an antebellum home in Taliaferro County where the young Mr. Gholston loved to hunt. The home is comprised of original hardwood floors, glass door knobs, original chandeliers, 2 vaults, a cedar closet, a full bar/recreation room (added on to the back of the home), extensive trim throughout the home, wrought iron on doors and windows and a tile roof.The ‘Gholston' home is a perfect setting for special events, purely paradise for gardeners, or a perfect place to entertain and enjoy friends and family.
