Discover small town rural charm approximately an hour outside of Atlanta in the quaint community of Newborn, Georgia. Located at 1981 Broughton Road is an incredible property on 10+/- bucolic acres of rolling meadows and gorgeous green pastures. Featuring a wonderful circa 1800s farmhouse, this property is the perfect mix of timeless character and modern design. Every inch of this picture-perfect home has been meticulously renovated for today’s contemporary lifestyle while preserving its original architectural elements. If you have longed to trade in your busy city life for the peace and serenity of wide-open spaces without sacrificing luxury, this breathtaking property has it all.
Step back in time as you head through the gates and up the long gravel driveway. Peeking out from a shaded grove of pecan trees, the historic farmhouse oozes southern charm. Look familiar? It might, as it was used for several movie sets! The quintessential rocking-chair front porch welcomes you and provides the perfect spot for a cold glass of lemonade, a good book and great conversation. Have a seat on the swing or enjoy morning coffee while taking in the views of the front of the property from this inviting vantage point before you step through the front door.
Prepare to be enchanted from the minute you enter the foyer. Boasting gorgeous hardwood floors, high ceilings, new windows and wide moldings throughout both levels, you will find quality craftsmanship and finely detailed finishes around every corner. Touches like the stained glass transom above the vintage front door and the dramatic open staircase with thick carved newel posts add character and make this unique house a warm and inviting place to call home.
On the right of the foyer is the banquet-sized dining room. Able to accommodate seating for 12+, this room looks like it was lifted straight from the pages of a magazine. Elegant and inviting with an ornamental fireplace and large windows that let in lots of natural light, this space is an entertainer’s delight. The other side of the foyer opens to the living/family room. A gas fireplace creates a focal point with its richly painted brick and reclaimed wood mantel, and the oversized pendant lantern gives the room a comfortable yet contemporary feel. Relax and watch your favorite tv show or gather with guests; this room can handle it all.
On the other side of the living room is a brand-new eat-in kitchen, featuring an ornamental stone fireplace, a shiplap accent wall, a massive island with plenty of counter seating and stainless steel Thor appliances, including a professional six-burner range with a griddle, two ovens and two dishwashers. Complete with quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink with three large windows overlooking the property, lots of cabinet space and a walk-in pantry, this amazing update spared no expense. A chef’s dream makes cooking your favorite recipes an absolute joy.
Conveniently situated on the main level is the primary bedroom with en suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. Curl up and unwind at the end of the day in this comfortable room. Easy first-floor access makes it a terrific primary suite or could be used for guests or a dedicated home office. There is also a laundry room and a powder room on this level.
Take the gorgeous open staircase up to the second level to find a large, sunlit landing that leads to three additional bedrooms, one with a third ornamental fireplace, shiplap walls and an en suite bathroom featuring black-and-white tiles and a walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms are nice-sized and are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
As fabulous as this home is on the inside, the outside is just as phenomenal. Take a short stroll down a tree-covered path to the sparkling inground gunite pool with a spa and 1,485+/- square-foot pool house. You’ll walk past a shaded sitting area, perfect for taking a break out of the sun or warming up on a cool night around a fire pit. The pool house offers additional space for guests or can easily be converted to an in-law suite. It includes a full kitchen, a full bathroom, a family room, an office and a large storage room downstairs, with a large bedroom and a separate entry upstairs. Featuring a covered area overlooking the pool, it provides a great spot to lounge poolside.
Just off the side of the house is a chicken coop and a separate chicken run, as well as a pea-gravel raised garden for growing your favorite vegetables, herbs and flowers. And everything you need to care for this property and more can be stored in one of the property’s barns. Wired for electricity, they provide a number of options, including housing ATVs, lawn equipment, animals or more. There is even a full camper/RV hookup that includes electricity and a dedicated sewer for waste removal.
This idyllic property is a wonderful place for those who want the country lifestyle without being too far from a major metropolitan city. It is just a 15-minute drive from historical Madison Square and is part of Morgan County’s top-rated school district. Beautifully restored and lovingly maintained, this quiet paradise is waiting for you to write its next chapter.
