About this House

Character abounds in this Craftsman-style home built in 1924 that was originally owned by Dr. Mills, who hired an architect to design the home. 4 bedrooms, 1 full and 2 half baths, full-partially finished basement and 3 car garage. Located on beautiful Cobb Blvd., the front walkway passes a wide tree lawn between street and sidewalk leading up to the covered front porch with 2 porch swings. The vestibule between the front door and the large foyer adds to the charm. Spacious living room with many windows. Nice sized dining room with built in oak cabinetry. Wide stair case for ease of moving furniture and 4 spacious bedrooms on the second floor. Updates include central air in 1999, roof in 2001, and major sewer/water lines upgraded in 2002 & 2007. Some of the wood trim has been maintained with beautiful stained oak. Due to some peeling paint on the exterior and windows, no FHA financing. There are circuit breakers. Home includes a detached 2 car garage and a second one car garage.
