We just LOVE this renovated Victorian, urban farm. Minutes from downtown, shopping, UGA, and Watkinsville, the location is ideal for someone who wants to enjoy the charm and allure of country living while also participating in all the conveniences of being super close to town. Built in 1830, its been lovingly updated to perfection. The openness of the farmhouse kitchen, coupled with the wide windows, original wood floors, and period accents create an effect that is both functional and fun. The property itself is amazing. At just under 2 acres, its got everything-and I mean everything-that one could want. Raised beds with irrigation, a potting shed, fire pit, cook house, lights and an arbor. I could go on and on, but lets not fail to mention the epic barn with super cool wood remnants just waiting for someone to bring it back to its former glory. And dont forget the stunning pool: salt water, heated with an auto-fill option, its surrounded with stunning rock accents and bluestone decking. There is an 8 Baja shelf and bench in the deep end. Flanked on one side by the fire pit and on the other side by the "cook house", its the heart and sole of the backyard. The "cook house" is made with reclaimed planks from the old barn on the property. While we are on the yard, the back porch has epic sunset views over the pasture, and not to be outdone, the full front porch does likewise for sunrises (I mean, why not have both). A 500 gallon propane tank heats the pool and grill shack. New plumbing, HVAC, electrical in 2017. Roof is metal (no idea as to age). Everything about this house is charming, pleasing and hypnotic. With plenty of room to roam, its ideal for someone who wants the best of both worlds: in-town convenience and country character. This one of a kind property will certainly cast a spell on all who walk through the doors.
