Circa 1891 Farmhouse For Sale W/Guest House/Garage And Outbuildings on 18 Acres. Greenville, GA. $400,000

As Burl Ives use to sing I miss the wicker chair and table freshly painted every spring…The old folks in the rocker, and the children in the swing…And the trellis by the railing where the brown thrush used to sing, I really miss the old front porch but guess what…you don’t have to miss the old front porch!! This true FARMHOUSE was built in 1891 when things were simple, and people had time to sit on the big front porch and listen to the birds sing. You can rewind the time machine and enjoy all this beautiful property has to offer. From the big front porch with decorative accents to the original hardwood floors and shiplap ceilings and so much more.

Living Area

As you step inside the foyer, don’t miss the wooden, decorative front door that keeps the character of years past. Large foyer with high, shiplap ceiling, wainscoting and chair railing along with decorative doorframes. On each side of the foyer is a large room that can be used as a bedroom, living room, etc. Both rooms have beautiful hardwood flooring and the original fireplace mantles. A little further down the hallway you will find a full bathroom with built-in linen cabinet, pedestal sink and shower. Just past that room is another spacious foyer that could be used as computer space, sitting area or so many other ideas. One each side are two doors where one leads into a bedroom that offers double closets and a door adjacent to the master bedroom making it a great room for a nursery or for small children. On the other side is another large room that is being used as the family room making it convenient as it offers a door that leads into the kitchen and dining area.

Kitchen

Going into the kitchen and dining area, you will be wowed at the space this area has to offer! So much room for preparing meals, baking and even gathering around a big table. Not only is there room for a large dining table but you also have room to add a breakfast area. Wood burning stove, hand cut custom wood trim and breakfast bar, many windows allowing lots of natural light and a beautiful cast iron sink are many of the great features with this extra-large area (old stove/oven does not remain). The back door leads out onto a spacious covered deck that overlooks the private, fenced backyard. From the kitchen and dining area you will find another nice area with built-in cabinets, laundry closet, pantry and storage closet.

More

A large bathroom with a restored, clawfoot bathtub and antique cabinets can be found next. There is also a double window allowing much natural light along with a large smoked glass window inside. Next stop is the Owner’s Suite which offers wood, paneled walls, double closets, built-in shelving and a walk-in closet that is currently being used partly as a bunk room but can easily be converted back into a large closet. So much has been preserved and restored such as the wood flooring and bullseye trimming. Windows have been replaced for better insulation. The hip roof offers space in the attic if you need to add an extra room. All bedrooms are approximately 14X15.

Outside

Outside you will not only find beautiful wooded and pastureland, but there is also a detached three-car garage, various buildings such as a workshop with plumbing and air along with a building that is being used as a guest house which includes a kitchen and bathroom and its own septic tank. Open pastureland gives you a great place to fence with your cows or horses. Looking for a place for your Homestead, this is it! So much privacy and space for living the simple farm life!

Location

Approximately 4 miles past the Troup County line and approximately 10 miles to 1-85 & 85, it’s mostly a straight shot to commute to work, shopping, dining and recreation but then you can go home to the peace and quiet of the country! Property is currently listed under the CUVA use. Heat is less than a year old and air is approximately 4 years old. So much has been done with this beautiful property but there is still room for you to use your Chip and Joanna skills!!
