A Rare and Unique, In-Town opportunity: 1.78 park-like acres of dogwoods, azaleas, camellias, magnolias, a specimen gingko tree, a rich variety of hardwoods, surrounding a stout, 1940s stately 4/2 brick home ( 1.5 Story over basement/workshop ), with 100 plus year old red barn, sitting on stacked stone piers. The property actually consists of 2 lots, with the house sited fairly privately on a lush, .69 acre, lovely tract, and behind it, there is a 1.08 private acre lot of hardwoods. The house lot has 2 driveways and a fenced back yard. The 1.08 acre lot is accessed by a private drive/easement.Though the house is being sold 'as-is', and could use some updating, it has classic features, and is entirely livable, and quite charming, in a nostalgic way. It has multiple porches/patio. The front porch opens into a large living room, with fireplace. Double French doors to right of fireplace lead to a formal dining room, the door to left of fireplace leads to a hallway with 3 bedrooms and a tile bath, and there's an arched opening to a staircase leading upstairs off the living room. Upstairs are several rooms and a full bath. The main level has oak floors, plaster walls/ceilings, wonderful old doors and original hardware, classic 3 over 1 Windows, and a lovely Federal-style mantel. The kitchen is somewhat dated, but has unpainted, Shaker-style cabinets with what may be original hardware. The back porch has been enclosed, though could easily be opened up, and a deck added to it might be nice, as the views are lush and tranquil. It seems to be a very quiet location, other than the sounds of nature. The house does have central heat, but currently relies on window units for AC. However, a central AC unit could be added. In addition to the over 2000' of heat of heated interior space, there's 872' of basement/workshop space, and porches. The historic barn is in need of repair, but has lots of character.Finding almost 2 acres in-town is almost unheard of, so to find this much beautiful land, that includes at least 1 build-able lot, and a large, historic brick home, for 225k, well that is indeed rare treasure! Also, it's only a couple of short blocks to Bishop Park, which has communal fields, swimming pool, covered/open tennis courts, and a wonderful Saturday Farmer's Mkt, Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary, the YMCA, and is only a few more blocks removed from the UGA 60 acre Health Science Campus, Normaltown proper, with its wonderful array of things to do.
