Rare opportunity to own a fully restored 1828 farmhouse just five blocks from the historic downtown square in Washington, Georgia. Crowning Glory Farm offers 3,812 sq ft of true move-in-ready living: 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full ensuite baths, and 3 half baths across two elegant stories. Original wide-plank heart pine floors flow throughout, complemented by six working brick fireplaces (all recently inspected, with new gas logs in the living room) and 11-foot ceilings dressed in recessed lighting and elaborate crown molding. Heirloom Ball and Ball fixtures grace the parlor areas, while a Schonbek crystal chandelier anchors the dining room. Elevated wrap-around porches with new flooring and southern exposure offer inviting outdoor living in every season. The primary suite impresses with abundant closet space, including a shelf-lined walk-in, plus a newly tiled ensuite bath featuring a soaking tub and separate walk-in glass shower. The kitchen, primary bath, half baths, laundry, and wine room were all beautifully updated in 2022-2023. The chef's kitchen boasts new stainless appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, a Samsung French-door refrigerator, and a walk-in pantry with new white Shaker cabinets, granite counters, and a second Kenmore fridge with ice maker. The converted sunroom is now a climate-controlled wine room with wine coolers and a 96" TV, perfect for entertaining. A new upstairs laundry area includes a stackable Whirlpool washer/dryer and shared half bath. Major systems have been comprehensively updated for worry-free ownership: a standing-seam metal roof (inspected and restored, decades of life remaining), dual-zone HVAC (gas furnace with 3-ton heat pump upstairs; new gas furnace with new 4-ton AC downstairs), both a new gas water heater and electric tankless unit, and low-E insulated windows with argon gas, custom draperies, and exterior wood shutters. Plumbing, electrical, interior paint and wallpaper, and exterior paint have all been refreshed. A foyer coat closet hides a floor hatch to a 10'x10' finished root cellar with easy mechanical access, and a climate-controlled 3-car garage (built 2012) completes the package. Two centuries of loving landscaping surround the home: hundred-year-old oaks and magnolias, camellias, azaleas, hydrangeas, quince, roses, lavender, and blooms year-round. A 2,000 sq ft garden plot with rich soil and southern exposure is renowned locally as one of the area's most bountiful vegetable and flower gardens. Chickens are permitted for a true homesteading lifestyle. This past year, Crowning Glory Farm has thrived as a short-term rental sleeping six-plus guests, earning glowing reviews for its porches, wine room, and timeless charm - with repeat guests and Masters Week bookings well in advance. (Buyer to independently verify current STR regulations.) A meticulously restored 200-year-old farmhouse with every modern convenience - truly move-in ready. Don't miss this rare offering!
