About this property
City Cottage on Main St in North Georgia
Constructed in 1929, this home maintains all of its beautiful architectural elements of the original build. Ten foot ceilings, beautiful plaster details, transom windows, walnut and French doors. Endless interesting elements that are largely unknown in modern buildings.
Plenty of room to get lost in this old home occupied by the city elder, Justice of the Peace, Mr. Campbell’s family for 74 years. History abounds, and many people have been married here in front of the fireplace.
Guests love the sunroom that serves as a library and additional sleeping space with a fold out sleeper sofa. The huge living and dining room open into one another to gather with friends and family.
Guest bedrooms feature high quality beds with 100% cotton sheets and ample pillows and blankets. The master bedroom features a king sized premium Serta Black mattress that is luxurious! The master has an en suite bathroom that is in need of a refresh, but is clean and well equipped.
The furnishings throughout are unique and quality to enhance the experience.
There is a breakfast room for a quiet morning coffee or meal to seat four people.
The kitchen features a huge farmhouse sink original to the house. The cabinets and layout of the kitchen are original too. Every utensil is available for your cooking adventures. The huge walk-in pantry includes spices and staples for your use. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and serving. Calphalon cookware is available so no sacrifices are made.
A large dining room seats 8 people.
Guests also love the massive covered patio that overlooks the backyard. A ceiling fan helps keep the air moving on hot days. You will enjoy the abundance of plants and flowers to be found on the patio. There is also a gas grill and a two burner cooker (please make arrangements in advance so I can have this available). I also have massive cook pots if you want to do a seafood boil. I have added a tv with an antenna so you can watch local football. There is also a DVD player if you want to rent a movie or keep the kids entertained.
For chilly nights, I have added a heater to eliminate the chill so you can hang out on the patio under the colorful lights.
Guests love sitting in the swing and watching the wildlife and enjoying the big backyard.
You are also walking distance to downtown. You can walk to downtown and have dinner or attend any of the Lafayette events.
Please take the time to enjoy the yard and explore the abundance of plants and wildlife. Listed with the National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Habitat.
I am available for garden tours if that is of interest.
Under two massive oak trees there is a fire pit for your use and an aged shed is the backdrop for your time in the garden.
Guests have commented that this location is a convenient jumping off point for many destinations in the area.

About the host
Hosted by Janet Rhodes
I love to travel and I also love unique architecture. My home was built in 1929 and is categorized as City Cottage style. I am only the third owner. After being built in 1929 it was sold very recently after that. I suspect, but have no proof, that the market crash may have forced the sale of their newly built home. The Campbell family purchased it not long after and lived in this home until I purchased it in 2006. The Campbell's were a notable Lafayette Georgia family. Mr. Campbell was the town Justice of the Peace.
Why they chose this property
Built in 1929, The North Main House has maintained it's original character. All lighting fixtures are original to the house. Heart pine throughout with heart pine revealed in living room. Transom windows, high ceilings, ornate woodwork, and special details throughout. British craftsman has done most of the restoration work staying true to original aspects of the building, plaster restoration, etc.
Guests comment that it is like stepping back in time, yet, you have all the comforts of modern convenience, high speed internet, big screen TV, digital thermostat, comfortable and plush bedding and furniture.
