Property Description
Bring your vision for this one. Steeped in rich Georgia history and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the iconic Colonel Edward Bird House (c. 1870) presents a rare opportunity to restore a true historic gem in the heart of the Guyton Historic District. Situated on a large corner lot, this stately 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Victorian home offers approximately 3,634 square feet of irreplaceable architectural charm and timeless character. A wide front porch anchors the facade, while the interior showcases the craftsmanship and character of the late 19th century. Step back in time to discover original hardwood floors, high ceilings, classic tall windows, a stunning central staircase, four period fireplaces, and a clawfoot tub. Adding exceptional value to the property is a detached 360 sq ft (30' x 12') outbuilding fully equipped with electrical and plumbing connections, plus a bathroom ideal for workshop, studio or home office. Sold strictly "AS-IS," the purchase includes all remaining antique chandeliers, custom draperies, and select antique furniture pieces. This property is ready for a buyer with vision to complete a full restoration and bring one of Effingham County's most historic residences back to its original glory.
