Property Description
Beautiful Colonial Revival, circa 1903, located in downtown Rutledge right off the square.This property is comprised of 2 city lots. One with the main house on Fairplay Street and the back lot facing on E Main Street. This home is truly one of the prettiest historical homes in Georgia's Lake Country. This house started as a farmhouse with a simple one-story porch just across the house's first floor back when it was built. It also had more surrounding acreage that has been carved off over the years leaving a 1.4 and 1.18 lot with the historic house and outbuildings. Find your perfect spot to relax and chill in over 2000 square feet of porches that include a balcony, veranda, and port cochere. Of the 9 fireplaces only 5 can be used. All the mantels are intact. The house has heart pine floors throughout with just a few rooms with tile floors. The porches hold 31 columns that were added and expanded during it's 120 year life span. The house has 3 staircases, 8 exterior doors, and 4 sets of french doors. Owners have done extensive renovation and restoration during their stewardship. There is a master ensuite on the main level and another master suite upstairs. The three bedrooms upstairs all share a hall bath with double vanities and a shower. The main floor includes a large dining room, a parlor, a foyer, library or den, a sitting room, eat-in kitchen with large pantry, master bedroom, 2 full baths and a sunroom or office. There is a back porch that overlooks a pretty fenced-in park like backyard. On the E. Main St lot, you will find a greenhouse and/or root cellar with a potting shed or a "She" shed or studio. There is also a storage building. These lovely lots have original old Oaks and Pecan trees, new trees, and several cultivated gardens. The sale includes rooms full of furniture, porch furniture and landscaping architectural pieces. Ask for a list of what is being conveyed to the new owners in a purchase. Rutledge is lovingly referred to as the "Small But Special" town and it really is an amazing hometown. With outstanding Morgan County schools, popular recreational lakes nearby, and Hard Labor Creek, one of the largest state parks right down the street, this is a great place to move to and take advantage of the great outdoors, golf, horseback riding, and water sports. Easy access to I-20 makes commuting to Atlanta or Augusta doable. Athens is just 30 minutes to the North. Rutledge is a wonderful small town to raise a family in or retire to. The neighbors are friendly and easy to meet. The town hosts lots of festivals throughout the year and the very popular Summer Concert Series in the park which brings folks into town from all over. If you are a historic home enthusiast, you will love this beautiful home in an area of coveted historic districts and small towns. *NOTE: Owner/Seller is an actively licensed Real Estate Broker in Georgia
