The home has already undergone significant improvements, allowing the next owner to begin with a tremendous head start. Extensive foundation work has been completed, new windows have been installed throughout the home, and previous electrical and plumbing renovations have been initiated. The interior has been taken down to the framing, creating an ideal blank canvas to design modern systems and finishes while preserving the historic character that makes this residence so special.

With approximately 2,398 heated square feet situated on a quarter-acre lot in one of Bainbridge's most desirable in-town locations, the possibilities are virtually limitless.

Location only adds to the appeal. Enjoy the convenience of being just moments from Downtown Bainbridge's locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, festivals, parks, and the Flint River.
