2559 Walton Way is one of those rare properties that makes even the most seasoned preservation advocate pause. The millwork and ironwork -- intricate, layered, hand-executed -- represents a craft tradition that has quietly disappeared from American homebuilding. You will not find its equal in new construction at any budget.
Designed in the tradition of the great New Orleans Victorian homes, this estate brings the best of that Gulf South sensibility to Summerville's urban core. Expansive front, back, and side porches greet and invite you to life outdoors in every season; fantastic views exist standing on the iron balconies on the second floors of both the main house and the carriage house; tall ceilings inside breathe through Augusta's long summers; and a gracious sense of proportion that modern design rarely achieves it noted throughout the entire property. No less important is that all of this is within walking distance of the Augusta Country Club, a short drive from Augusta National, and almost directly across the street from the main campus of Augusta University.
In the main house, the second floor holds three true bedrooms, two dedicated office spaces, and a full laundry. The third floor opens into something quieter and more personal: a full bedroom and bath, a private sitting area, and built-in nooks designed for reading or a morning workout with treetop views. Below it all, the basement is substantial -- three rows of built-in shelving and a separate utility room, a rarity in a home of this age and character.
Inside the private fenced grounds, the carriage house is a fully self-contained income-producing asset. Rustic in finish and formal in structure, it offers a living room and kitchen downstairs, two bedrooms, and a full bath upstairs -- capped by its own small iron balcony that echoes the main house across the grounds. Augusta University, the adjacent medical college, and the broader Walton Way professional corridor generate a steady pipeline of medical students, graduate students, residents, and young professionals actively seeking quality housing. The carriage house is ideally positioned to serve that market year-round, or as a premium short-term rental during Masters Week and Augusta's growing calendar of events. Beyond the fence line with ally access sits a classic old-school wood garage -- separate, private, and a working piece of Augusta's architectural past.
