Description

Historic Home with Timeless Appeal. Welcome to the ''Little House'' a 1901 Greek Revival designed by renowned architect Willis F. Denny and built for Mrs. Marion Little by her father. The Little House combines stately appeal with thoughtful updates for modern living. This 3,000+ sq. ft. home has curb appeal & character, with all 3 bedrooms and both full baths on the main level. You'll find craftsmanship from a bygone era throughout the Little House, including soaring 12 ft.ceilings, original heart pine flooring, 6 ft. wavy glass windows, sliding pocket doors and transom windows. The shotgun style architecture opens with a grand foyer and showcases a formal living room and dining room with original handcrafted moulding and fireplaces. The extra-large main kitchen has lots of gathering & cooking space and features a 6-burner DCS chef's gas range/griddle w/ double ovens. An attached breakfast nook/sunroom is the perfect setting for coffee, books or afternoon cocktails. The owner's bedroom has an ensuite bath with ball-foot tub, seating space & a private sunroom. A unique mother-in-law style section is located in the rear of the home with a 2nd kitchen and connected bedroom/bath. The front bedroom (once the parlor) features an original fireplace with a gorgeous Tiger Oak mantel. The grand staircase leads to an upstairs landing with 1800 sq. ft of walk-in floored attic space, which was originally configured to add more bedrooms as needed. A 750 sq. ft. detached garage/workshop with a full loft offers additional space for work & hobbies. Located in the lovely town of Louisville, which served as Georgia's third capital from 1796 until 1807, you'll enjoy a quiet neighborhood and short walk to downtown restaurants and shopping. From white picket fence to the wide wraparound porch, the Little House is everything old and Southern, right down to century-old town Magnolias that flank the front entry. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history. ** The Little House was once commercially spot-zoned for a gourmet restaurant (Emily's on Broad). The property could be converted back to a restaurant, professional office, or a Bed & Breakfast.
