This 3-bedroom, 1,700 square foot home sits on just under a half acre and is just a block from downtown Rutledge - a perfect blend of community, convenience and peaceful, private grounds. Sunlight pours through three oversized living room windows, illuminating original character and generous proportions. The open kitchen and dining wing flows into two main-level bedrooms, including a serene master ensuite. A short step down from the kitchen reveals a bright, cozy sunroom with sweeping views of the verdant backyard - ideal for long conversations, quiet reading, or morning meditation. The sunroom also connects to a tranquil screened side porch perfect for morning coffee or cozy reading on a rainy day. A hallway off the living room leads to the second full bath, a third bedroom, and an office with its own private entrance and side porch - perfect as a fourth bedroom, playroom or studio. Outside, a detached garage and covered outdoor sitting area invite summer grilling, relaxed evenings, and gatherings with family and friends. This property is just steps from downtown Rutledge with dining, concerts and shopping; and only 1.5 miles to the state's second largest state park, Hard Labor Creek State Park on 800 acres, including beaches on Lake Rutledge, a golf course, camping, hiking trails, horseback trails, kayaking and fishing. This is cottage living elevated: timeless, warm, full of adventure and ready for your next chapter. You don't want to miss making this property your next dream home!
