One-of-a-kind, wondrous, artist-renovated cottage with detached 700 sq.ft. studio/workshop and a truly whimsical landscape! This 100 year old home was completely redesigned by Robert Freeman in 2002-2003 and is replete with rich imagination both inside the house and in the landscape.The house underwent a complete transformation; The huge living room has 14' ceilings and the ceilings have beautiful, aged-patina, pressed tin that was salvaged from the Belk building formerly in Downtown Athens. The maple floors in the house were reclaimed from the YMCA gym in that same building. Custom transom windows envelop this unique room with excellent natural light. There is the antique Murphy bed built into the living room wall for a 2nd sleeping space. Also, there is the potential for an addition to the house, which is easily justified given the price of this amazingly artful house. The house is full of creative detailing and both the kitchen & bath showcase vibrant, playful tile. There is both a screened front porch and a private rear deck (off the sun room) and there are many outdoor 'rooms' or courtyard-type living spaces. The entire lot is wrapped in farm rail fencing that is coupled with iron sculptural rods that are topped with whimsical found objects. There are amazing, custom-designed iron gates for the driveway and deck/courtyard. The landscape is lush; there's almost too much to list, but highlights include, an espaliered camellia by the front door, a rosemary hedge, a line of white crepe myrtles, a hedge of purple barberry shrubs, antique roses and a wide array of old fashioned plants.Finally there's an approximately 750' detached building (with its own electrical supply panel) which has a double door entry, 3 rooms, tall ceilings, transom windows which provide abundant natural light. This building would make a great art studio, workshop or could be a music studio! This is a truly unique home, both warm & magical, a veritable treasure waiting to be found...again!
