This home was originally built in the 1870s as a humble two-room cottage without indoor plumbing or electricity and later (in 1886) transformed into the elegant Victorian Home it is today. 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. Whether it's a quiet morning on the inviting porch or an evening spent in a room that resonates with antique allure, this lovely home offers a living story where every detail has been meticulously curated. 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. Package Deal Available: Lower pricing on house and lot combined. Buy both properties together to create a sizable combined estate of 0.837 acres. Whether you're a developer, investor, or someone dreaming of a private estate with historic charm and buildable space, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Norcross history with endless possibilities.
