Property Description
Be a part of history with this Circa 1904 two-story shiplap farmhouse. Located in the West Avenue-Roberts Street Historic District in Lavonia, Ga. This home has been lovingly updated and maintained throughout its life. The Keese House is a Victorian-inspired, three bedrooms, two bath, 2498 square foot historical home sitting on .85 acres on a quiet tree-lined street within walking distance of downtown Lavonia. You could not have a better location to walk to restaurants, clothing and gift stores, the Carnegie Library, and a grocery store, to name just a few. Beautiful Lake Hartwell is just a 10-minute drive from your door. A large, covered porch supported by architectural square piers wraps around the front bay windows on the first level. Windows throughout most of the home are original one-over-one. A unique central chimney serves six of the seven fireplaces inside. The front, kitchen and back entry doors are original rosette and plinth trim doors. Upon entering the home, a lovely vestibule welcomes you. The original heart-pine, wood floors, ten-foot ceilings, and walls were milled from the Keese farm property. This unique feature continues throughout the home. The first level includes a bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room and common area. The kitchen has granite counter tops, a kitchen island, hardwood floors and new lighting. The dining room is large enough for a table of ten. The remodeled full bath features a tile floor and the original clawfoot tub. The second floor has two bedrooms, a full bath and loft area. The large windows create a light filled space for you to enjoy the beautiful views out each window of this tranquil location. The loft is a perfect place for a second entertainment or workspace with one wall plumbed for a small galley-style kitchen. The second full bath includes a stackable washer and dryer. A lovely back porch off the kitchen leads you to the beautifully, well maintained backyard. A 30? X 14? storage building stands to the right of the kitchen porch. An abundant Lady Banks Rose bush cascades over an arbor leading to a 30?X 56? patio and a picturesque yard shaded by old-growth pecan and hardwood trees. Once a small city farmstead known as the Keese Dairy Farm supplying milk products to Lavonia, this beauty has stood the test of time. She was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1983. #83000200 $395,000
