One-of-a-kind, historic, country, farm-house is located in downtown Watkinsville and was lovingly restore and updated by the present owner beginning in 2004. The 2nd room on the left downstairs is thought to be the original one-room cabin from the early 1800s. The exact age is not known. The roof was replaced in 2015. All the additions were added before 1920. Just walking distance to shops, restaurants, Farmers Market and local events, enjoy the ambiance of downtown Watkinsville. The houses on Simonton Bridge Road within the city limits are considered to be on Whitehall Road even though the road sign says Simonton Bridge Road.
