True Historic Gem in the Heart of Ball Ground – More Than Just a Farmhouse, It’s a Legacy! Why settle for a mass-produced "vintage farmhouse" when you can own the real thing? This stunning 100+ year-old farmhouse offers an authenticity that no new build can replicate. Nestled just a short stroll from charming downtown Ball Ground, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath jewel box of a home seamlessly blends historic character with modern luxury, giving you the best of both worlds. From the moment you step onto the inviting front porch, you’ll feel the history woven into every detail—from the original hardwood floors, the Georgia marble fireplace surrounds, the intricate moldings and vintage doors that tell the story of a bygone era. Unlike the cookie-cutter homes attempting to imitate this style, this home was built when craftsmanship was an art, and it has been lovingly maintained and updated to preserve its soul while offering modern comforts. The gourmet kitchen is a perfect marriage of old and new, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and appliances all thoughtfully designed to enhance—not overshadow—the home’s vintage charm. It’s also open to the family room featuring a fireplace and lots of natural light flooding in from French doors leading off to the back deck. Just off the kitchen, the formal dining room offers the perfect setting for meals with family and friends. A blend of historic charm and classic elegance, it’s just steps away from both the kitchen and the spacious living room, making entertaining effortless. The living room’s generous size allows for multiple seating areas, making it the ideal place to relax, read by the fire, or enjoy conversation with loved ones. From the living room, you entire the serene primary retreat through a private sitting room. Its spacious layout also features the cozy bedroom, a private outside porch, attached office, elegant finishes, and spa-like bath. Two additional bedroom suites upstairs provide inviting spaces, whether for family or guests, along with a small additional family room/game room. Outside, the mature trees and landscaping create a private sanctuary, something you simply won’t find in new developments. Enjoy morning coffee on the porch, an evening glass of wine under the stars or a backyard garden party on the deck. The large front porch features loads of space for entertaining guests or hanging out and dining with family and friends. Located in one of North Georgia’s most beloved historic towns, you’re just steps from Downtown Ball Ground’s shopping, dining and vibrant community events. This is more than a house—it’s a piece of history, a rare find, and a home with a soul. Don’t miss your chance to own a true farmhouse with character and charm that simply can’t be built today. Schedule your private tour and fall in love with authentic history, reimagined for modern living.
