enchanting 4,000 sf, 1910 queen anne victorian

Saw this over at design*sponge today and I think I have found my dream house in east Athens, Georgia. Let's buy it, yes?


Enchanting 4,000 sf, 1910 Queen Anne Victorian that was moved to this private 5.5 acres setting and has been passionately restored by local artists over the last 20 years! Also there is a whimsical 2-story retreat/guest house nestled in the woods at the end of a path behind the main house (an additional 20 acres is available for purchase). Both houses are full of magic & artist's whimsy while still being respectful of the historical authenticity of the house. The woodwork is beautiful, heart pine floors throughout, bead board ceilings and wainscotting, detailed trim and mantels. Artist/craftsman built-in bookshelves modeled on original woodwork to create a library within the full dining room, pocket doors separating an old-fashioned parlor from the large living room and many original plumbing fixtures. Copper counters in kitchen, a 1920's vintage stove, several clawfoot tubs, beautiful tile showers (including a room sized master shower built with handmade tiles and multiple shower heads). There is a wrap-around front porch, a balcony porch and rear wrap-around deck with the main house.The guest house has a huge screened porch with Eastern European and North African style wood detailing. People have traveled from around the world to do photo-shoots on this property and with good reason! It is truly a magical setting.
