Seller offering up to $10,000 toward allowable closing costs, prepaid expenses, or an interest-rate buydown with an acceptable offer, subject to lender approval and loan-program limits. Built in 1790, 212 Water St is one of Washington, Georgia's oldest homes—a thoughtfully updated piece of the town's early history. Just two blocks from downtown, it combines 18th-century character with the ease of in-town living. A broad foyer leads to grand, light-filled rooms with 10-foot ceilings, original heart pine floors, wide baseboards, and preserved mantels. The spacious living room features a working gas fireplace, while the generous dining room offers ample space to host. In the kitchen, granite and live-edge butcher block countertops complement a 36" Wolf gas range with griddle and a three-zone beverage cooler. The first-floor primary suite includes a spacious bedroom and en-suite bath. Another downstairs bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub and stained-glass window. Upstairs, two large, airy bedrooms with high ceilings share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Every bathroom has a walk-in shower. A dedicated office, generous storage, and a climate-controlled bonus room add flexibility. At the rear, an enchanting Savannah-style brick courtyard framed by iron railing, brick pillars, and mature landscaping invites morning coffee, outdoor dinners, and evenings with friends. Washington was the first chartered town in the United States named for George Washington, and its historic square remains part of daily life. Walk downtown for coffee, shops, and restaurants; enjoy Washington Little Theater or outdoor movies on the square; and meet neighbors through newcomer lunches and social gatherings. Groceries and Wills Memorial Hospital are nearby, with Athens, Lake Oconee, and Augusta within reach. Discover an extraordinary historic home and an inviting town to become part of.
