Want to be close to everything but still feel like you're away from it all? Then 1753 Stephenson Road is the place for you! Located on 5.13 acres just off Georgia 124, the location provides the perfect mix of urban and rural. Built in 1985 to mimic a classic farmhouse, the 6-bedroom, 6-bath, 4500 square-foot home is definitely in need of some TLC--but the possibilities are endless! Step into the spacious front hall that leads to the living area, a second living area just behind the first, and the kitchen which serves as the central hub for the first floor. There is office space to the right of the entrance, and the master bedroom sits on the left side of the home, with a large bathroom and two generous closets. Another bedroom and potential office space occupy the first floor, along with another full bath to go with the master bath. The second level has four more bedrooms with four full baths, enough space for a large brood or one that hosts gatherings regularly. Outside, enjoy the wraparound (on two and a half sides) porch that spans the entirety of the front of the house. There's also a back deck off the master suite, an extra building with two rooms (both with wall-mounted AC units) and an attic, all of which are currently being used for storage. PLUS, there's a small gazebo next to a barn with stalls and power. The entirety of those improvements sit on a bluff that comprises the front half of the property, with creek frontage along the back half. This property is being sold by a non-profit, so it will be being sold as-is and is priced with that in mind. Under the right buyer with the right vision, it's a platinum property at a pauper's price!
