Description

A historic furnished main house with basement apartment and furnished guest cottage that can be rented out. The Tennille-Carnes-Morgan house (circa 1883) is situated in the heart of Macon's historic district. Unlike many historic properties that demand costly restoration, this home has been lovingly cared for inside and out. Original architectural details have been preserved. The main home has 12 foot ceilings, large windows with richly colored heart-of-pine flooring and Victorian-period decorative fireplaces. The heating and cooling systems are updated. The main house has three airy bedrooms and two full bathrooms evoking 19th century charm with modern amenities. The west-facing bowed front porch with six Ionic columns creates an inviting space for socializing as do the living and dining areas on the main level. The east-facing balcony provides a private outdoor space for morning coffee or to unwind in the evening. The grounds are adorned with Italianate cypress, saw palmetto, fragrant rosemary hedges, and two redwood carports. Many of the antique furnishings are an option with the sale. This treasured property is within walking distance to Mercer University, Tattnall Square, top-rated schools, restaurants, pickleball courts, the Washington Memorial Library and the meandering streams of its adjacent park.

Directions: Take Exit 164 from I-75 toward downtown Macon on Forsyth Street. At the second light turn left on College St. It is the first house on the right. Parking is also available at the Medical Arts Pharmacy on the corner as you approach the house.
