This one is the epitome of Southern Living with grace, charm, and hospitality. The original owner designed and built it with entertaining and guests in mind as evident on the original blueprints on display. Mrs. Ivey loved having Brenau students and visiting doctors live in the richly appointed in-law suite complete with full bath, bedroom with fireplace, living room with fireplace, and loads of storage. The charming original telephone niche is still intact. Upstairs, the entry hallway welcomes you in to gleaming hardwood floors and 10 ft ceilings throughout. Flanking the foyer is the living and dining rooms with large windows overlooking the lovely gardens and lush wood and wildlife views. The remodeled kitchen features a center island, stone countertops, and stainless appliances. A relaxing sunroom is open to the kitchen and has a brick floor and wall-to-wall windows. All windows in the house have wide plantation shutters and screens either hanging or tucked away in storage. The master wing is a tranquil retreat with his and hers baths and a large walk-in closet. Lastly, the generous laundry offers plenty of workspace and storage. There and two additional bedrooms and a bath on the second floor with ample hidden attic storage. The house has been renovated throughout the years to become a more modern beauty while retaining her vintage allure. Outside, you'll love the perfectly landscaped yard, gardens, and terraces.
