87 North St, Carlton, GA 30627

Property Description

Originally built as a 2 room cabin in the mid-1800's, this historic cottage had a kitchen added in 1930, and currently exists as a 2 bedroom, 1 bath dwelling with an open kitchen and living room. Nestled on 1 acre next to Hunting Hill Farm on a semi-private street, peace and quiet surround the home. With fencing, the property could easily accommodate a horse. If a garden is more your speed, the grounds offer plentiful spaces for lovely flower beds. A covered front porch begs for rocking chairs on which to enjoy morning coffee or long conversations on a lazy, rainy evening. The back door opens to a deck perfect for grilling. With a fire pit just beyond, just add some string lights, adirondack chairs, and a picnic table, and you practically have a backyard entertaining space ready to host its first barbecue. A particularly detailed and rare beadboard graces the walls and 12 ft ceilings throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. Original hardwood floors could easily be buffed to their former glory. This home is being sold as is, but a couple of coats of paint and some elbow grease could easily provide the facelift it needs to shine again. The adjacent property, Hunting Hill Farm, at 127 North St, is also for sale and includes fenced and cross-fenced paddocks, 4 horse stalls, and 2 more historic residences.
