*Accepting back-up offers* Welcome to the enchanting Gale Cottage, a charming 1930's Craftsman gem reimagined to blend its timeless charm with modern luxury. Located in a peaceful neighborhood cul-de-sac just two blocks from the hospital and five from the charming historic square with its delightful shops, restaurants, and beloved hardware store-this single-story, three-bedroom, two-bath home boasts large rooms with ten-foot ceilings and beautiful decorative fireplaces throughout, including a gas one in the warm, inviting living room. A stunning cook's kitchen, featuring a six-burner Italian French-door gas range, a thirty-four-square-foot built-in refrigerator, an oversized fireclay farmhouse sink, and surfaces of butcher block, ceramic, and marble, makes meal prep a joy. Engineered hardwood floors and ceramic tiles honor the Craftsman style while adding warmth. The south-facing sunroom, now a serene extension of the professionally designed garden, invites the outdoors in. Outside, a private, fenced backyard blooms with mature magnolias, camellias, and other plantings from a 1990's landscape plan that could be restored by the new owner. It is complete with a granite picnic table for epic gatherings. The primary suite offers a luxurious en-suite bath with an oversized freestanding soaking tub and dual quartz vanity. Two additional bedrooms share a spacious Jack-and-Jill bath with a walk-in shower featuring subway tile, plus a laundry center. From the warm living room to the grand dining area, every detail feels like home. A lovely garden house studio is still being restored and will be complete in February. The studio with its full bath and kitchenette could be a great income-producing rental or vacation rental, adding versatility. Perfectly positioned just 45 minutes from Athens to the West and Augusta to the east, Washington preserves its authentic small-town flavor and appealing vibe while remaining close enough for easy access to urban conveniences and attractions. This lively, welcoming community offers its own community theater, churches, numerous events, and even a "new residents" group. Gale Cottage is ready for you to make it yours!
