This outstanding Cobbham estate,
circa 1840-1860, is shadowed by huge oaks right in the heart of
Athens. Queen Anne architectural appointments were added by the owner
after purchase in 1880. This grand home features heart pine floors,
gracious center hall with an impressive staircase, two master bedroom
suites on the main floor, 12 ft.+ ceilings and picture moldings,
fantastic bright windows throughout, formal living room w/fireplace
and a family room with a wall of windows. A walk through the front
picket fence and up the steps to the wrap around front porch takes
one back a century ago. The fabulous country kitchen with a pantry
and built-in shelves and breakfast area is warm and inviting.
Situated on .7 acres with oak and dogwood trees, this home offers an
inviting arbor entrance to the back brick patio and garden and
welcomes you to an era gone by. Truly a rare find and located in the
Cobbham Historic District. |
