Brimming with architectural character, this renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath historic cottage sits on one fully fenced acre within walking distance of downtown Rutledge. Convenient to I-20 for commuting to Atlanta and just 10 minutes from downtown Madison, it offers small-town charm close to shops, dining and Hard Labor Creek State Park. A gracious wraparound porch features Victorian gingerbread trim, turned posts and balustrades. A projecting gable with a diamond-shaped window, brick chimneys and a distinctive rooftop balustrade enhance the home's historic appeal. Inside, original pine floors, high ceilings, historic fireplaces and period details create a warm welcome. A spacious entry leads to a gallery hallway with built-in bookshelves and opens to the living room. Original stained-glass windows and decorative tiled fireplaces bring color and character to both spaces. The renovated kitchen features Shaker cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, island, stainless steel appliances and a generous eat-in area with large windows and a vintage chandelier. The owner's suite includes a private office, updated bath with double vanities and walk-in shower, and a generous closet. A light-filled second bedroom has access to the second full bath and a spacious closet. The third bedroom features original wood walls and two closets. A bright sunroom with new energy-efficient double-pane windows overlooks the gardens. Outside, a French-inspired potager features stone raised beds, pea-gravel paths and a central olive tree. A productive mature fig tree, blueberry hedge and bay laurels add to the edible landscape. A new deck beside the garden and historic barn provides a peaceful place to relax. A white picket fence frames the front yard, while mature landscaping is supported by well-fed irrigation with drip lines and sprinklers throughout the grounds. A pergola-style carport adds charm, and the historic barn offers storage. New plumbing and electrical, updated kitchen and baths, and preserved architectural details make this cottage move-in ready. The one-acre property consists of two lots, including an additional buildable lot that the buyer may elect to build on or sell, offering flexibility and future possibilities. All information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer must conduct thorough due diligence.
