Step into timeless elegance at the historic L. J. Cobb House, a Victorian farmhouse of exceptional quality showcasing stunning turn-of-the-century craftsmanship. Rich in character and beautifully preserved, this remarkable home features soaring ceilings, four fireplaces with original mantels, and interior doors adorned with original hardware and fully functioning skeleton key locks. The front four rooms and grand entry hall display exquisite, unpainted heart pine in excellent condition, complemented by white oak hewn sills that speak to the home's enduring strength and authenticity. A three-sided covered wraparound porch invites you to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the home also offers a gorgeous contemporary kitchen with a spacious island — perfect for gathering and entertaining. The attic has been beautifully transformed into a private owner’s suite retreat, complete with an additional bedroom and finished loft spaces. Cleverly designed storage has been integrated throughout, maximizing functionality while preserving the home’s historic character. Situated on 5.18 picturesque acres in a breathtaking country setting, this special home was relocated to its current property in 2001, during which time it underwent comprehensive updates including new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, foundation, insulation, roof, porches, chimneys and fireplaces, along with expanding and finishing the attic—carefully preserving its original charm while ensuring modern reliability. This property provides the perfect blend of privacy and convenience, with close proximity to downtown Watkinsville and highly regarded Oconee County schools. A rare opportunity to own a true architectural treasure where historic charm and modern comfort come together beautifully.
