Property Description

Originally built in 1901 for the president of the local railroad, this landmark Cornelia home has been the pride of the community for over a century - and a stunning 2022 restoration has made it better than ever. Spanning 2,496 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a half bath, every inch has been thoughtfully renewed to deliver the character, style, and charm of a historic home with all the amenities, luxury, and worry-free quality of new construction. Crown molding flows throughout, honoring the home's 19th-century roots, while beautiful built-in shelving adds both function and timeless elegance. The chef-ready kitchen - featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances - makes clear that no detail was overlooked in this restoration. Step outside and the home only gets better. A beautiful wrap-around porch invites you to slow down and take in the neighborhood, while a screened-in back porch gives you a private retreat for morning coffee or evening gatherings - all set beneath grand grandfather Southern Magnolias and oaks on two generous city lots. The location is simply unmatched in Northeast Georgia. Walk to downtown Cornelia's shops and top-rated restaurants, stroll to the beloved Cornelia Community House, or explore the trails of the Northeast Georgia mountains - all just minutes away. Properties like this - with real history, real craftsmanship, and a location this good - rarely come available. This is the one you'll regret not seeing.
