You know the story: An old house in a small southern town that needs renovating but has a porch from which you can hear the trains and katydids while pecans fall on your metal roof. This place feels like book jacket copy. With 1600 sq feet of original wood floors, original bead board, and high ceilings, this 3 bedroom, 1 bath is a Colbert Classic and only 20 minutes from the University of Georgia. The kitchen is large and open and has exterior access to the shady side yard. Heirloom landscaping on this almost ½ acre lot feels like home and is ready for your love and renovation. Separate freestanding garage has plenty of space. Come see it this weekend, August 8 and 9, from 2 to 4 pm EST.
