Located in the historic community of Linton, GA, this majestic, mid-19th century home is ready for you to love and restore to its original glory. 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.
