Description
Step into history at 1146 Appleton Avenue, a rare 1871 cottage in the heart of Macon’s historic district. With over 2,600 sq ft of living space, located on a quiet street just minutes from Mercer University, Atrium Health Navicent, and Tattnall Square Park- this home beautifully blends architectural charm, modern functionality, and local artistry.
Inside, soaring 11.5-foot ceilings and original heart-pine hardwood floors create a sense of light and openness throughout. Four fireplaces, including one in the master suite, bring timeless warmth and character. The formal dining room attached to spacious updated kitchen is perfect for entertaining, while the main-level primary bedroom offers comfort and accessibility.
This home is also a living gallery. In the entry hall, a striking mural by Macon artist Sterling Everett adds one-of-a-kind beauty and connects the home to the city’s artistic heritage.
Function meets flexibility with a partially finished walk-out basement (~936 sq ft) and a second-floor family room, offering space for work, play, or creative projects. Outside, the inviting front porch and back deck make it easy to enjoy the generous 0.27-acre lot.
Located in a neighborhood known for its 19th-century homes, this property is more than a place to live—it’s a chance to own a piece of Macon’s story. With no HOA, central heating and cooling, and thoughtful updates, this historic gem is ready for its next chapter.
