Springfield, Georgia
$169,900

Built circa 1895, this home is set in the historic section of downtown Springfield across the street from the Courthouse.

For over a century, the long porch has provided a spot to relax and watch the comings and goings of town residents.

A solid wood front door opens into the foyer. Originally the central hall, the barn board ceiling remains. Laminated wood plank flooring is underfoot and flows throughout most of the home. The crown moldings and door casings are beautifully crafted.

The windows in the formal dining room are detailed with elegant millwork. A rose ceiling medallion honors the home’s name, Rose Cottage.

The kitchen features oak cabinetry, an electric range and a stainless steel side-by-side refrigerator. The laundry is tucked behind shuttered doors and is complete with a Maytag washer and dryer.

The family room is a generous 16 by 16 foot with a smooth ceiling and carpeted floor. The old fashioned screened door lets you enjoy the scents of the seasons and the sounds of small town life.

Off the kitchen is a mud room with double French doors to a backyard deck. Across the hall, the home office was formally part of the central hall. It showcases the barn board ceiling.

The guest room is adjacent. The bedroom is floored in laminated wood and boasts a walk-in closet. Pull down stairs lead to attic storage.

The full guest bath is appointed with a pedestal sink and a shower. The walls are finished with crown molding.

A pair of French doors reveals an exceptional master bed and bath suite. The bedroom boasts crown and chair rail moldings and a walk-in closet. The private bath pairs a pedestal sink with a clawfoot tub, creating a beautiful room with period appeal.

The home’s windows are new double thermo pane with wood interiors and vinyl clad exteriors.

The detached garage with tool storage is original to the home.
