THE GOOD OLD DAYS are here again in Dahlonega, evident in this delightfully charming 1950's brick home in the Downtown Dahlonega area. Built when craftsmanship was a code to live by; this two level, four bedroom, two bath home's layout and finishings reflect the golden era in which it was created.

Coming through the entry, a formal sitting room offers a seat in front of the fireplace and a dining area opens into the far side. A living area on the other side of the home blends into a spacious kitchen. There are two bedrooms and one bath on this main level and two more bedrooms upstairs along with a second bath.

The City lot the home sits on - about 0.65 acres - feels spacious, with a nice front lawn and open in the back. Porches on both sides of the home provide a screened protection against creepy-crawly fliers and makes a nice place to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Plus there's a back deck. Inside, it's quiet and and serene.

Outside, majestic old-growth trees spread their branches and do a great job of filtering out the main road. An unfinished basement makes a good place to store life's inevitable accumulations and comes with a one-car garage. A paved driveway enters from the street and winds around to the back of the home.

Dahlonega's Public Square is but a few minutes walk away with its oasis of restaurants and events. Here at the property you feel part of the ambiance that makes this North Georgia town special. An interesting bit of history - this home was constructed by Burlington Industries for the Vice President of the Pine Tree manufacturing plant (carpet industry) - a major employer in the area for many decades and previously located just up the street on the land the new Elementary School now occupies.

Not often will a property in the central Dahlonega area become available. This home has been in the same family for about five and one-half decades, might it now be your turn to grace a little love upon this beauty and bring her back to her former glory? $659,900.
