The Born House now captivates with a large wrap-around porch, central hallway, and original heart pine floors that echo its storied past. The home proudly showcases eleven-foot ceilings, massive newel posts, and natural wood trim-a beautiful blend of historic charm and modern craftsmanship that has been lovingly restored over years by devoted owners. The property carries a fascinating legacy. It has been featured in various films, magazines, books, art installations and home tours. Each thoughtful restoration preserves the home's heritage while infusing it with contemporary comforts.

Embrace the rare opportunity to own a piece of Norcross history-where timeless elegance meets modern living. This home invites discerning buyers who value character, heritage, and the beauty of thoughtful restoration. Bonus Opportunity: The adjacent buildable .402-acre lot at 63 Born St, perfect for expansion, guest quarters, or investment potential, is also available for purchase. See GAMLS listing #10591418.
