Hard to find – charming cottage in great condition, on a quiet street just steps from the new Plaza Arts Center. With newer mechanicals and a fresh coat of paint, this home is move-in ready.

This home offers the charm of a traditional southern cottage – with the deep rocking chair front porch that opens to a spacious living room with tall windows and 10’ ceilings, plus a gas log fireplace and vintage trim details. Walk straight through to the formal dining room. Just beyond is the updated cook’s kitchen, with plenty of counter space and a convenient island with breakfast bar. Plantation shutters are an added bonus.

The spacious master bedroom is just off the living room, and has a decorative fireplace. The guest bedroom adjoins, and flows nicely to the quaint shared bathroom. A convenient mudroom/laundry room leads to the back deck – the perfect location for your grill.

The two car garage with attached outbuilding has so many possibilities – workshop, storage, or perhaps create guest quarters or office. With a tall privacy fence along the driveway, and mature trees and shrubs along the back border, this lot offers unique privacy right in the center of town.

The gardens bloom throughout the season, and mature trees provide welcome shade.
If you want historic charm without a big project – this is the home for you.

You’ll enjoy strolling the tree-lined streets of historic downtown Eatonton. This cottage is across the street from the Plaza Arts Center - a historic school recently renovated as a community art and performance center. The building houses a historic museum, a restored 20th century classroom, art and ceramic studios, large meeting facilities with catering kitchen, and a 500-seat theater with state of the art sound and lighting.

Eatonton-Putnam County will truly amaze you with its diversity.

Internationally renowned golf courses, polo, resorts, fine dining, and shopping are complemented by a rich heritage.
