1000 Bates Rd, Austell, GA 30106

An adorable craftsman-style cottage on over an acre of land, directly across from Georgia's Silver Comet Trail! Walk through the side gate to a fenced-in front yard with magnolia tree, mature crepe myrtle and a quaint, covered front porch to enjoy it from. The entry leads to a generously sized living room and to one side, a bedroom. Through the vestibule is a secondary bedroom with original wainscoting ceiling and adjacent that, an adorable eat-in kitchen with checkered floor, antique hutch and a double window above the sink. Original heart pine floors scream "authentic cottage". And wood-beamed ceilings in the living room and front bedroom give this small home a big sense of airiness! 1.2 acres on a corner lot with Nickajack Creek as the northerly property line! A dedicated water spigot and plenty of open area make a perfect place for a big vegetable garden. Directly across the street, just beyond a swath of privacy screen/ vegetation, is The Silver Comet Trail! A wonderful asset in its own right, plans to connect to the Atlanta Beltline in the near future give this location so much potential. - Atlanta's version of "waterfront property!" Rarely in the entry-level price range can a property boast "lifestyle". No doubt. this is the exception.
