Experience the charm of small-town living in this beautifully restored 1910 historic home, nestled in downtown Ball Ground. Enjoy the convenience of strolling, biking or riding your golf cart to shops, restaurants and festivals. Some of the key updates completed in 2021 include all new electrical, plumbing, tankless water heater, HVAC, and roof. It was important to the homeowners to preserve the original features in the home that make it unique and nostalgic including the original tongue and groove ceilings and walls, the brick fireplaces and hart pine wood floors upstairs. The chef's kitchen is a work of art, complete with premium appliances, large walk-in pantry and spacious mudroom. The main level boasts a stunning master suite with an en suite bath and ample closet space. Upstairs, discover two generous bedrooms, a full bath, and cozy family room. Relax in the inviting screened porch, perfect for sipping morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. Just off the porch, you are welcomed by a large Crepe Myrtle that houses Concord Grape vines that make the most delicious jams. The sprawling backyard, ample parking and over-sized 4-car garage with attached workshop is sure to be enjoyed by the whole family. You will also find an additional gravel driveway alongside the garage with 50 amp hookup, perfect for your RV or boat. This home is a true masterpiece, seamlessly blending timeless charm with modern luxuries.
