Crowning Glory is a wonderfully restored 1828 farmhouse located five blocks from the downtown square of Washington, Georgia. This 200 year-old home is truly move-in ready. The 3,812 sf home includes 3 generous bedrooms, 3 full updated modern ensuite baths and 3 half baths over 2 stories. Original wide heart pine floors still run throughout and have been lovingly restored. Crowning Glory's 6 working brick fireplaces have all been recently inspected, and the living room has new gas logs.

The kitchen has new stainless appliances, a new Bosch dishwasher and disposal and a large Whirlpool french door refrigerator. A generous walk-in pantry includes new white Shaker cabinets and granite countertops. The newly tiled master bath ensuite has a large soaking tub and walk-in tiled and glass surround shower in a separated area from the double vanity counter top and large step in closets. Except for the kitchen added after the first 100 years, the home has 11' ceilings throughout. The standing seam metal roof was inspected and restored where needed this year, confirming decades more life. An upstairs laundry was created for convenience, and the new stackable Whirlpool washer / dryer remain with the home.

All windows in the home are adorned with custom draperies and have been updated with low-E insulated double pane glass with Argon gas. On the outside, wooden shutters with shutter dogs. Plumbing and electrical updates completed to all systems throughout the home. An under stair coat closet in the foyer includes a "floor door" that raises to allow access to a 10' x 10' root cellar space below with block walls and finished floor for true root vegetable storing and access to mechanical systems. The entire home inside and out has been newly painted and wall papered. A 3 car climate controlled garage w door openers was built in 2012.

Something blooms at Crowning Glory Farm year round. A 2,000 sf plot of the side yard has for many years been known as one of the most bountiful vegetable and flower gardens in the area. Southern exposure and rich soil provide a perfect growing environment for enough food to feed many families or to overwinter in the root cellar. Chickens are permissible, so a family with an eye to a homesteading lifestyle can go a long way to achieving their goals. In the past year, Crowning Glory Farm has opened its doors to AirBnB guests with great success, comfortably sleeping 6 or more.
