306 E Belmont Drive

Welcome to the historic Peters Plantation property, where charm, character, and modern updates come together. This beautifully preserved home was built in the mid to late 1800s and sits on a site where, in May of 1864, the Army of the Cumberland camped during General Sherman’s march to Atlanta. Renovated in 2020, the home features a west and east wing, both complete with updated plumbing, electrical, and a new roof, enhancing the property’s historic charm with modern utility. A lush lawn spreads in front of the house, and mature landscaping frames the brick paths approaching the wide, wraparound covered porch – the ideal outdoor setting to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Step inside the west wing to an elegant entryway with a grand staircase, illuminated by a sparkling chandelier and the light streaming in through the stained glass window. Travel past a formal dining room with its own fireplace, perfect for entertaining, and find spread between both wings the living spaces, which include a cozy den with built-in bookshelves and a gas log fireplace. The main floor showpiece is the galley-style kitchen, which has been thoughtfully updated with a ceramic tile backsplash, custom ceiling height cabinets, real quartz counter tops, a gorgeous apron sink, a stately range hood above the dual range with 6 burners, and a wall microwave/oven combo. It opens to a sunny breakfast room (called a “keeping room” in the days when this home was built), which is perfect for casual fireside meals. The spacious owner’s suite also occupies the main floor and includes a luxurious custom bathroom with gleaming stone counters, tiled custom shower, and cabinetry galore - and a large walk-in dressing room-style closet. With over 4000 square feet, there’s still so much more house to explore! Ascend the sweeping staircase to the west wing second floor, where you’ll find two bedrooms and shared hall access to a fully renovated bathroom. Then, in the east wing, at the top of a separate set of stairs, are an additional two gabled-roof bedrooms which share access to an additional hall bathroom. Both wings of the second floor showcase the original hardwood floors, and every bedroom features a unique historical relic mantel and fireplace. Travel back downstairs and out to the back deck and enjoy a huge screened-in outdoor living space – there’s room enough to socialize and dine on this covered deck. The fenced backyard harbors a charming cottage garden full of pollinator-friendly flowers, stone paths, and a cozy fire pit area under a vine-covered arbor. There’s also an outbuilding for storing tools and equipment. Full of history and timeless beauty, this one-of-a-kind home is ready for its next chapter.
