About this home
Brimming with architectural character and thoughtfully renovated for modern living, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath historic cottage is move-in ready and beautifully situated on one acre within walking distance of downtown Rutledge. Convenient to I-20 for an easy commute to Atlanta, the home is also just 10 minutes from the shops, dining and historic streets of downtown Madison. A gracious wraparound porch immediately sets the tone, accented by delicate Victorian gingerbread trim, turned posts and balustrades. The picturesque roofline, projecting gable with diamond-shaped accent window, brick chimneys and distinctive rooftop balustrade add to the home's unmistakable late-19th-century charm. Inside, original pine floors, high ceilings, historic fireplaces and beautiful period details have been carefully preserved. A large entry leads to a striking gallery hallway with built-in bookshelves and opens into the living room. Original stained-glass windows and decorative tiled fireplaces in both spaces add color, character and a wonderful sense of history. The recently renovated kitchen blends seamlessly with the home's vintage appeal and features Shaker-style cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, center island, stainless steel appliances and a spacious eat-in area with large windows and a vintage chandelier. The private owner's suite includes its own office and an updated bath with double vanities, a walk-in shower and generous closet. A large, light-filled secondary bedroom offers access to the second full bath and a spacious closet, while the third bedroom retains wonderful historic character with original wood walls and two closets. A bright sunroom with new energy-efficient double-pane windows overlooks the beautifully planted grounds, creating an inviting spot to enjoy the garden throughout the year. The outdoor spaces are equally charming, with a traditional French-inspired potager garden featuring stone raised beds, pea-gravel paths and an olive tree at its center. A mature, highly productive fig tree adds to the established edible landscape, while a blueberry hedge and bay laurel trees are planted adjacent to the pergola. A new deck beside the garden and historic barn provides an inviting place to relax and enjoy the grounds. A classic white picket fence frames the front of the property, while the entire one-acre lot is fully fenced. Mature landscaping extends throughout the grounds and is supported by a well-fed irrigation system with both drip lines and sprinklers distributed across the property. A charming pergola-style carport complements the outdoor spaces, while the historic barn provides additional storage. With new plumbing and electrical, updated kitchen and baths, and carefully preserved historic details, this special property offers the character of an older home without sacrificing the conveniences of today. The property also includes an additional buildable lot, offering added flexibility and future possibilities. A wonderful opportunity to own a distinctive historic cottage close to Hard Labor Creek State Park and within one of Morgan County's most charming small towns. Please note this 1 acre consists of two lots. Buyer can elect to build on extra lot or sell it. All information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer must do a thorough due diligence....
