Property Description
FOR SALE AT AUCTION: Don't Miss This Opportunity! Selling at Online Auction Tuesday, August 18, 2026 beginning at 2:00 PM. Opening Bid: $50,000. WiregrassAuctionGroup.com Complete One of Bainbridge's Architectural Gems Some homes are simply houses. Others become part of a community's story. Standing proudly just blocks from the heart of Downtown Bainbridge; this remarkable historic residence presents an extraordinary opportunity to complete the restoration of one of the city's most recognizable homes. Rich with timeless architecture, grand proportions, and irreplaceable craftsmanship, this is a property that offers today's buyer the rare chance to preserve history while creating a legacy for generations to come. Constructed during an era when homes were built with exceptional quality and designed to impress, the residence showcases many of the architectural features that have become increasingly difficult to find. An inviting porch welcomes visitors, while soaring ceilings, oversized windows, multiple fireplaces, original heart pine framing, expansive living spaces, and a central staircase provide the framework for an unforgettable restoration. The home has already undergone significant improvements, allowing the next owner to begin with a tremendous head start. Extensive foundation work has been completed, new windows have been installed throughout the home, and previous electrical and plumbing renovations have been initiated. The interior has been taken down to the framing, creating an ideal blank canvas to design modern systems and finishes while preserving the historic character that makes this residence so special. Simply put-this home has good bones. With approximately 2,398 heated square feet situated on a quarter-acre lot in one of Bainbridge's most desirable in-town locations, the possibilities are virtually limitless. Imagine elegant entertaining spaces filled with natural light, a luxurious owner's retreat complete with a private sitting room and spa-inspired bath, beautifully restored fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen designed for today's lifestyle, and expansive porches perfect for relaxing with family and friends. Whether your vision is a distinguished private residence, executive home, boutique inn, professional offices (subject to local approvals), or another unique use, this property provides the rare opportunity to create something truly exceptional. Location only adds to the appeal. Enjoy the convenience of being just moments from Downtown Bainbridge's locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, festivals, parks, and the Flint River. Historic homes with this level of character, presence, and proximity to downtown rarely become available. Offered as the result of a partnership dissolution, this property will be sold at Online Auction, creating an exceptional opportunity to purchase one of Bainbridge's premier restoration projects. Bring your architect, your contractor, and your imagination. The difficult work has already begun. Now it's your opportunity to complete a home that could once again become one of Bainbridge's finest. Property is for sale at auction. Price listed is for reference purposes only. Final price will be determined by competitive online bidding at auction ending TUESDAY, AUGUST 18. Mark L Manley, Auctioneer GAL #AU002484, FL AB3604/AU4813
