Property Description

Take a step into this historical home that actually has a story to tell. Sitting right in the heart of Ball Ground, this charming cottage blends true character with everyday comfort, and it does it effortlessly. From the moment you walk through the front door, you'll notice the details you just can't replicate original hardwood floors, tongue and groove throughout, crown molding, and a farmhouse sink that ties it all together. The layout is simple, functional, and inviting with a spacious living room, flexible dining space, and an eat-in kitchen that feels like home. This one-level home offers 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a powder room perfect whether you're starting out, slowing down, or adding to your investment portfolio. Step outside and it only gets better. A full acre gives you room to breathe, grow, and make it your own. Host on the back deck, sip your coffee on the front porch, or enjoy your own little bird sanctuary right in your backyard. And the location? Less than 2 minutes to downtown Ball Ground close enough for convenience, far enough to enjoy the peace and privacy. Just a solid home with charm, land, and real potential.
