818 Academy Ave, Waynesboro, GA 30830

Historic Colonial Gem... Step into a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a piece of Waynesboro's rich architectural heritage. Situated along Academy Avenue in the historic district, this circa-1930 Colonial-style home offers timeless curb appeal and a wealth of original character, ready for thoughtful renovation. A brick walkway guides you to the stately clapboard exterior, where symmetrically placed full-length windows frame a handsome solid wood front door with an arched transom and welcoming stoop. Inside, you'll be immediately struck by the grandeur of early 20th-century design—high ceilings, original hardwood floors, original hardware and four fireplaces with exquisite mantels. Rich ornate trim and detailed woodwork underscore the home's craftsmanship and historic charm. The 2,145 square-foot layout features a generous living room, spacious dining room, and an unimproved kitchen awaiting your vision. With three bedrooms, one full bath, and the potential to add a second bath and expand the kitchen, this home is ripe with possibility. Antique French doors open from the living room to a brick side patio, while a screened porch off the sleeping porch provides peaceful access to the large, fenced backyard—a rare retreat offering both space and privacy right in the heart of town. Whether you're a preservationist, a renovator, or a investor with an eye for classic beauty, this home offers the perfect canvas to create a truly unique and distinguished residence. Home is being sold as-is.
