38 Stephens Salem Rd, Stephens, GA 30677

Step right up, come on in if you'd like to take the grand tour of this lovely Carpenter Gothic farmhouse in Oglethorpe County's Stephens Community. Throughout the years, this property has been home to many including a local craftsman responsible for lovingly restoring the home paying much attention to the details that matter in an historic restoration. The beautiful gardens and multiple, unique secondary structures are the work of another set of owners who were horticulturalists - and it shows with the variety of plantings on the property. Multiple covered porches and a screened porch allow for enjoyment of the property during all seasons. Don't miss the barn/workshop with its own electrical panel! Inside the home are beautiful heart pine floors throughout the main level and a portion of the upstairs as well. Original, tongue-in-groove ceilings were hand scraped and repainted. Ten foot ceilings throughout the main level paired with restored windows with wavy glass and operational pulley system make for many bright and airy spaces. Owner's suite is on the main level and features an original, decorative fireplace plus ensuite bathroom that is quite sizable. The dining room features a triple window with bench seating, built-in shelving, a wet-bar, and a lovely staircase leading to the upstairs made with reclaimed wood. Stainless steel appliances in the country kitchen with updated, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, an island, plus a pantry and pot-belly stove. A door leads from the kitchen to the exterior where a deck could be added. Just off the kitchen is a spacious room that would be optimal for a studio space or home office. Secondary bedroom also on the main level features dual closets and built-in window seat storage. A spacious bathroom services the secondary bedroom and downstairs guests. Upstairs you'll find two additional bedrooms, a half bathroom, attic storage, and unique nooks and crannies. Exterior structures include a small greenhouse, the workshop/barn, a detached garage or storage building, and of course a chicken coop all sited on 1.59 acres! The home's exterior was recently painted and shines like new! This is truly a masterpiece located a short distance from Athens and Downtown Crawford.
