The historic community of Linton, GA welcomes you to the serenity of this majestic, mid-19th century home. From its picturesque setting atop a hill, this property offers a plethora of opportunities for buyers who appreciate the unique characteristics of this home and the Southern charm of its well-maintained surroundings. Situated on just over an acre, the 4300 square foot home has 4 spacious bedrooms upstairs and one (or two) bedrooms downstairs. The main house's exterior was constructed with hand-formed bricks which were fired in a ditch near the property and includes lower and upper porches across the front offering expansive views of the neighboring properties. The lower front entrance greets you with a door framed with an etched glass vine in the form of an arch with cranberry glass above the door, and a door on the second floor leads to a 10'x10' attic/cupola with shutters that open on all four sides. A new metal roof was added in 2019. 2 hours from Atlanta, 20 minutes from Sandersville, 22 minutes from Milledgeville/Lake Sinclair. Whether your goal is to own and restore your own little piece of history or to embark on a business venture with a bed and breakfast or event venue, this property is the perfect canvas to transform into your own showplace! Adjacent road frontage property may be available for purchase in separate transaction.
