The W.H. Mitchell Jr. House: a 1940 Barnesville landmark on 2 rare in-town acres, updated for modern living and long known as a home for hosting and entertaining.
Meticulously maintained, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 3,400 heated square feet plus a screened porch, pairing original architectural details with thoughtful updates. Hardwood floors run throughout, and multiple fireplaces anchor the home's gracious living spaces.
The heart of the home is the 2016 kitchen addition and renovation, built for gatherings of every size, from weeknight dinners to holiday crowds. Multiple living areas let guests flow easily from room to room. The primary suite is on the main level, along with a dedicated office, so daily living happens on one floor with room to spread out upstairs.
Out back, the screened porch overlooks the pool and a beautifully landscaped yard with mature plantings and established gardens, including a rose garden. It's a natural setting for summer pool parties and evenings on the porch.
The unfinished basement offers generous storage and workshop space.
Two acres in town is rare in Barnesville. This property gives you the privacy and grounds of an estate without giving up an in-town address.
138 Murphey Avenue, Barnesville, GA. Call or text Mary Catherine Tuttle at (770)-468-4773 to schedule a private showing.
