Historic Cottage

Historic Cottage charm combined with an elegance comparable only to the more refined Greek Revival mansions, Alexander Cottage offers the best of both worlds on a smaller manageable scale; a true hard-to-find gem!

Located off a side street in the picturesque small southern town of Washington, it is within walking distance of the Town Square, restaurants, shops, museums, library and streets lined with grand columns and charming cottages. Washington lies an easy drive between Athens, Ga. (40 miles west via Hwy. 78) and Augusta, Ga. (50 miles East via I-20 ) . It is approximately 2 hours east of Atlanta, Ga. (I-20) .

With its soaring ceilings, glistening heart of pine floors, crown moulding, transoms and exquisite light fixtures throughout, Alexander Cottage boast 1,756 square feet encompassing an entry hallway, two spacious bedrooms each with large private baths, stunning parlor with gorgeous crystal chandelier, kitchen/dining/den combination with wood burning fireplace, half bath and much, much more! Huge windows bathe every room with natural light giving the home a light, open and airy feel. 

The front porch is striking with its southern red door with transom, brass light fixture, recessed lights and true shutters flanking the 9 over 9 paned windows. Sitting on the front porch offers wonderful views of the Alexander-Wright 40+ Acre Estate (c.1808) of which this cottage was once a part.  The back porch is as inviting, much larger in size, adorned with impressive hanging light fixture, recessed lighting and wide stairs leading into private rear and side yards. Dimmers throughout the home assist in creating a marvelous atmosphere. There are mantled fireplaces in the parlor, kitchen/dining (both wood burning) and primary bedroom. Kitchen is adorable with copper accent backsplash and beautiful glass front cabinets.
