Welcome to a timeless retreat, a rare historic property in North Georgia. This Single-Gabled Victorian Farmhouse, nestled on 5.3 acres, was originally built in 1870 and has been thoughtfully updated over the years to include 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The grand original foyer, with its soaring 10+ foot ceilings, warmly welcomes you, with the main level bedrooms flanking the foyer, still boasting these impressive ceilings. A charming, hidden stairway leads to a third loft bedroom and grants access to a full attic that spans the entire footprint of the home-an open canvas awaiting your vision to blend modern amenities with historic charm. The expansive living room, likely once including the dining room, features lower beadboard ceilings, with the original height hidden above, offering the potential to restore the room's original grandeur. The spacious country kitchen, includes a delightful walk-in pantry with a window overlooking the serene, covered brick patio. The kitchen has lowered ceilings but shares the roofline as the rest of the home - ideal to become a vaulted kitchen!! A large laundry room with ample storage is conveniently located off the kitchen, adjacent to the second full bathroom. The home retains four original fireplaces, now equipped with natural gas heaters, with two chimneys intact and a third visible in the attic, though no longer extending above the roofline. The roof was replaced just a year ago. The septic field was replaced with an Infiltrator system 2yr ago. Relax under the tin-roof-covered brick patio, where the gentle breeze from ancient hardwoods scattered across the manicured lawn and dappled sunlight is more soothing than a glass of wine. The nostalgic view of the barn and milking shed transports you to a simpler time. The barn, built in the 1940s and fully restored in recent years, features a thick cement slab and massive beams, perfect as a party barn or sturdy workshop. The milking shed, believed to have been part of the Letourneau Dairy in the 1940s, has since become a cherished site for casual family gatherings. The landscaped acreage boasts black walnut, pecan, oak, and maple trees, with woods cleared of underbrush to reveal lush groundcover of Partridgeberry, Solomon's seal, and ferns as the lawn transitions to a hardwood forest. This tranquil escape is less than 3 minutes from Lake Hartwell and the Stephens County public access boat ramp, 5 minutes to downtown Toccoa, and local amenities including Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Ingles, Super Wal-Mart, and Home Depot. It is situated with easy access to Anderson, Greenville, as well as Gainesville and Atlanta. It's just 15 miles to I-85 at Lavonia, and 5 miles to the 4-lane Hwy 17/Bypass leading to 365/985. Toccoa is located halfway between Greenville, SC and Atlanta GA, with none of their commotion, traffic or stress!
