Welcome to 518 Toombs Street, a stately Victorian beauty a few blocks off Main Street in the quaint town of Palmetto, Georgia. Built in 1861 on a 2.26+/- acre lot is an elegant home brimming with charm and historical elements. Upon entering the foyer with a sweeping wood staircase, guests enter an oversized, light-filled formal living room with a bay window overlooking the front lawn. Down the hall is a dining room with built-in cabinets that looks out into the back garden and connects to the heart of the home, the family room, breakfast area, kitchen, and the friends and family entrance. The ample kitchen has plenty of cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a smart refrigerator, and an office nook that looks into the cozy family room with a fireplace and dining space. Off to one side is the friends and family entrance that is large enough to be an office or a keeping room. The other side of the living room opens onto over 600 sf of brand new decking, a side yard with a firepit, gardens, and an artist studio. On the main level are also two bedrooms with full baths, a powder room, a walk-in pantry, and laundry. Up the beautiful staircase is an additional three bedrooms with windows that almost reach the floor, another office space, and two more full bathrooms. The grounds of this gorgeous property make it unique and provide opportunities for work, play, and income-generating activities. There is a darling cottage with a full bath and kitchenette that has been a successful short-term rental property for many years and accommodates guests staying at nearby Serenbe for events, weddings, and vacations. A newly built large workshop with custom wood finishes throughout, a full bath, and a loft with a porch could remain a workshop or could serve as an additional living space. Attached to the covered parking spaces is yet another building with a half bath and additional space for storage, a home gym, or an office. The artist studio is another charming building with the potential to meet many needs as well. In the backyard is a pool, spacious decking, and an outdoor covered kitchen with two grills, a fridge, a sink, a ceramic smoker, and a television. One of the most endearing features of the home is the garden with a folly built in the front yard. The enchanting structure has an open room with two arbors, one on each side and a raised garden laid out in front. The many captivating elements in this home and grounds are enhanced by the proximity to points of interest like Serenbe, Trilith, Newnan, Peachtree City, Atlanta Airport, and two Piedmont hospitals. It is also located just 30 miles from Midtown Atlanta.
