Welcome to this enchanting 1884 Imperial-style home commissioned by General Robert Toombs to be built for his grandson. A true gem on the Historic Register. This remarkable residence, with its soaring 14-foot ceilings, boasts four spacious bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms, all conveniently situated on a single level. The rich history of the home is evident in every corner, with heart of pine floors underfoot and furnishings that speak to the past while enveloping you in an inviting, comfortable atmosphere. Nestled on a sprawling one-acre lot, this property also features a charming guest cottage, perfect for visitors or extended family. The cottage includes a cozy main level bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a full bath, and a loft bedroom, offering a private retreat with all the comforts of home. Affectionately known as the "House of Porches," this home is designed for those who appreciate both history and comfort. The grand foyer welcomes you with elegance, leading to a hallway where three of the four main bedrooms are located on the left, while the living and dining rooms beckon on the right. The owner's suite is a sanctuary, complete with an ensuite featuring a jetted tub, a walk-in bath, ample closet space, and direct access to a serene glassed-in porch. Each bedroom in the main house is complemented by its own full bathroom, ensuring privacy and convenience for everyone. The fourth bedroom and bath are thoughtfully placed off the cozy keeping room, ideal for guests or a quiet retreat. Throughout the home, you'll discover five charming fireplaces, all gas-powered and fully operational, adding warmth and character to every room. The house is filled with quaint nooks and crannies, inviting you to explore its unique spaces and uncover its many stories. Adding to the historical charm, the dining room features a stunning table, 12 chairs, and a sideboard, all from the same year as the home itself. These exquisite pieces will remain with the house, offering a rare opportunity to own a complete, original set that perfectly complements the home's historic character. The heart of the home is the large, open kitchen, a culinary haven with an enormous pantry and seamless access to both the open and covered porches. This space is perfect for gatherings, offering a blend of indoor and outdoor living that makes entertaining a breeze. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee in the breakfast area or hosting a lively dinner party, this home wraps you in comfort and charm, making every day feel like a step back in time with all the modern amenities.
