217 W 5th Ave Colbert, GA 30628

Historic Colonial Revival in the heart of Colbert, GA. Red cannas flowers line the streets, famous yearly parades and festivals, & the ever-desirable Colbert Elementary School graces this quaint Southern town. Well known, this circa 1900's mansion was originally owned by the Colbert Family who founded this glorious community. Hosted on 1.7 fenced acres, this landmark property boasts a turn of the century home bursting from the seams with character & charm that can only be found in a period-piece home. This sound, 2-story brick abode has been renovated throughout the years with new current upgrades in progress to provide comfortable, modern-day living while still maintaining the deep roots that created the story of what this home is all about. Welcomed into the grand foyer, the fine details come alive with original hardwood flooring, oversized floor-to-ceiling windows, 10ft ceilings, decorative-antiqued fixtures, original tile accented fireplaces in several rooms, & so much more. You can access the gracious parlor off the foyer & the formal dining room beyond. Created to host large dinner parties, the dining room is quite oversized and is appointed with a custom built-in China cabinet as well as a bay window adding extra space. Serving will be a breeze with only the Butler's pantry/breakfast room separating the kitchen from the dining areas. Full of all of today's amenities, the updated kitchen has everything the home chef needs to prepare gourmet meals. The main floor also offers 2 bedroom options as well as a perfectly detailed full bath. Designed with multi-functionality, these bedrooms could easily serve as additional living areas, a private study or owners suite on the main. Forget taking the stairs...just hop on the elevator to access the next level. The 2nd level is comprised of 3-4 additional bedroom options with 2 of them providing full suite potential with the original wood door connecting the bedrooms and giving access to the completely updated full bath. Features continue to the outdoors with the detached garage, courtyard-styled grounds, storage building/workshop, and professional landscaping. This rare opportunity is rich in history and you have a chance at being part of that! With on going renovations, get ready to see this house like you never have before!
