Brimming with architectural character, this renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath historic cottage sits on one fully fenced acre within walking distance of downtown Rutledge. Convenient to I-20 for commuting to Atlanta and just 10 minutes from downtown Madison, it offers small-town charm close to shops, dining and Hard Labor Creek State Park. A gracious wraparound porch features Victorian gingerbread trim, turned posts and balustrades. A projecting gable with a diamond-shaped window, brick chimneys and a distinctive rooftop balustrade enhance the home's historic appeal. Inside, original pine floors, high ceilings, historic fireplaces and period details create a warm welcome. A spacious entry leads to a gallery hallway with built-in bookshelves and opens to the living room. Original stained-glass windows and decorative tiled fireplaces bring color and character to both spaces. The renovated kitchen features Shaker cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, island, stainless steel appliances and a generous eat-in area with large windows and a vintage chandelier. The owner's suite includes a private office, updated bath with double vanities and walk-in shower, and a generous closet. A light-filled second bedroom has access to the second full bath and a spacious closet. The third bedroom features original wood walls and two closets. A bright sunroom with new energy-efficient double-pane windows overlooks the gardens. Outside, a French-inspired potager features stone raised beds, pea-gravel paths and a central olive tree. A productive mature fig tree, blueberry hedge and bay laurels add to the edible landscape. A new deck beside the garden and historic barn provides a peaceful place to relax. A white picket fence frames the front yard, while mature landscaping is supported by well-fed irrigation with drip lines and sprinklers throughout the grounds. A pergola-style carport adds charm, and the historic barn offers storage. New plumbing and electrical, updated kitchen and baths, and preserved architectural details make this cottage move-in ready. The one-acre property consists of two lots, including an additional buildable lot that the buyer may elect to build on or sell, offering flexibility and future possibilities.
