About this home
Calling all history buffs! Located in the historic community of Linton, GA, this majestic, mid-19th century home is ready for you to love and restore to its original glory. From its picturesque setting atop a hill, this property offers a plethora of opportunities for buyers who appreciate the unique characteristics of this home and the Southern charm of its well-maintained surroundings. Situated on just over an acre, the 4300 square foot home has 4 spacious bedrooms upstairs and one (or two) bedrooms downstairs. The main house's exterior was constructed with hand-formed bricks which were fired in a ditch near the property and includes lower and upper porches across the front offering expansive views of the neighboring properties. The lower front entrance greets you with a door framed with an etched glass vine in the form of an arch with cranberry glass above the door, and a door on the second floor leads to a 10'x10' attic/cupola with shutters that open on all four sides. A new metal roof was added in 2019. 2 hours from Atlanta, 20 minutes from Sandersville, 22 minutes from Milledgeville/Lake Sinclair. Whether your goal is to own and restore your own little piece of history or to embark on a business venture with a bed and breakfast or event venue, this property is the perfect canvas to transform into your own showplace! Adjacent road frontage property is available for purchase with sale of home in a separate transaction....
