68 Spring St Newnan, GA 30263

Don't let the holiday spirit confound your gaze too much this season (and don't forget to watch out for the bowties-yes bowties-throughout the woodwork in this home. Generous and loving homage to the art of wood crafting)! Even as you approach the effulgent freehold estate of 68 Spring Street it's doubtless regard paid toward what can only be described as truly "bespoke" finishes keenly accentuate nigh every square inch it has to offer and include Purple Heart Lumber, faded onyx tile, and three 1880's mantles with local community provenance. Soundly nestled into one of the southernmost downtown historic district corridors, 68 Spring Street is rumored to have been originally constructed around 1880 and occupied during what was the second recorded settlement period after Newnan's founding in 1825. Only having two to three recorded owners since 1985 who included Tom Cline and Alberta Howell, this regal dame has recently concluded a multi-year renovation/restoration to which bespoke finishes have been parlayed and resolutely historic fixtures including reclaimed fireplaces from the 1880's and roughhewn lumber from the surrounding community applied with care and expertise rarely exercised. Even as your foot hits the first slate step on the front porch you are welcomed by a custom French door entrance joined by cedar shakes and an 1880's solid wood twin post all looked over by the original tongue and groove porch ceiling. Next a foyer offers respite, at least, if not also a divergent path of sorts as custom Judge's panels guard the grand entrance highlighted by overhead trim all secretly watched over by an emerald duck centerpiece. Venture to your left and marvel at the mirror finish blue tile, custom angled vanity, clawfoot tub accented with marble surround, and a grand view of the neighborhood! Or to your right and the living area highlighted initially by a Wormwood Maple ceiling that has been hand-carved bringing this home's earliest historic details back to life as bold crown molding enfolds the room complementing draperies ensconced by detailed ivory-colored medallions. Accented chair railing guides you to the nearest 1880's mantle and the provisions of a roaring fire at the push of a button! Settle in and dust off a musty tome or enjoy some cozy family time as the initial living area grants convenient access to both kitchen and dining areas. Hand-hewn logs and a glass scalloped adornment frame the dining room entrance as its framed porcelain centerpiece tempts your appetite even more. Saunter on to the kitchen as it has been noted as "the most loved room of all" as it's beauty and utility quip neatly to outdo each other. Imported African live-edge Purple Heart Wood countertops have been enhanced with a glass-like finish from the multi-pour polyurethane treatment. The live edge was custom cut, planned, and tongue-and-groove set with well placed black bow ties for installation.
