    Welcome to 979 Edgewood Avenue, a character-filled historic home located in Macon's Beall's Hill neighborhood, just steps from Mercer University, behind the Mercer soccer field. Built in the early 1900s, this home blends original charm with thoughtful modern updates, creating a unique opportunity for an owner-occupant, investor, or potential student housing property. Inside, you'll find beautiful original hardwood floors, four decorative fireplaces, tall ceilings, and the kind of architectural character that simply can't be recreated. A great deal of care has gone into restoring the home while preserving its historic appeal. Major improvements include all-new electrical, updated plumbing, central heating and air, and a tankless water heater. The floor plan has also been improved with a centralized kitchen, an additional third bedroom, and a full second bathroom. The kitchen features new butcher block countertops, a new sink, and included stove and refrigerator. The primary bedroom offers a beautifully updated en-suite bathroom with a new vanity, fresh tile flooring, and tile detailing surrounding the raised soaking tub. The newly added second bathroom is equally impressive, featuring tile flooring, a walk-in shower with tile extending to the ceiling, and low-flow fixtures. A washer and dryer are also included for added convenience. Outside, enjoy a covered front porch and fenced backyard, all within walking distance of Mercer University and convenient to downtown Macon. While some finishing work remains, many of the major updates and improvements have already been completed, giving the next owner the opportunity to add their own finishing touches. Whether you're looking for a historic home to make your own or an investment property in an exceptionally convenient location near Mercer, 979 Edgewood Avenue offers character, updates, and tremendous potential.
