Property Description
Welcome to 638 Milledge Circle, affectionately known as Greyside. This spacious home sits atop Highball Hill on lower Milledge Circle. This is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods within Five Points. Greyside is a locally designated historic landmark property. In addition to the name Greyside, the home is also referred to as the Decker-Waters Home, acknowledging the most noteworthy previous owners. The home offers a spacious 3 BR and 2.5 BA floor plan. The Colonial Revival style home has been meticulously maintained. Existing original details include oak and pine hardwood floors, plaster walls and moldings, stenciling, fine millwork, and beautiful doors and hardware. Built in 1923 and designed by prominent local architect Fredrick J. Orr, this structure offers striking elements such as wood shingle cladding, large double hung windows, a gracious westside veranda and strong paired columns featuring Orrs distinctive " O " cutouts. Upon entering the home there is a lovely floor painting from 1975 featuring a faux parquet with Greek key and laurel leaf design cleverly commissioned to disguise a furnace floor grate. The home has a generous foyer with original staircase dividing the formal living and dining room. The living room has large French doors, a fireplace, and an expansive picture window overlooking the rear gardens. Natural daylight floods the dining room. On the ceiling is a mural depicting the sky. Accenting each room are unique light fixtures and chandeliers.The kitchen, situated to the rear, features tall custom cabinets, solid surface countertops and plenty of storage space. Additionally, there is a butlers pantry, small sitting area, a mudroom and private powder room. Upstairs features a landing area for conversation or reading, a large primary suite with elegant bathroom with soaking tub as well as a light and bright corner sitting room for reading overlooking the grounds below. Two additional corner bedrooms may also be used as an office or nursery. There is a full hall bathroom servicing these rooms. Upstairs also features plenty of closet space for storage. This home sits on .64 acres of professionally landscaped grounds with inviting pathways, water features, and tranquil spots for resting and contemplation. There are fourteen individual gardens or " rooms " offering a myriad of uses and all serviced by a private and dedicated well. There is a hidden garden shed in back as well as private sitting deck off of back door. The lush and unique grounds have been locally recognized and featured in Southern Living Magazine. This property is conveniently located just minutes from the Five Points Business District as well as Beechwood Shopping Center. Downtown Athens and The University of Georgia are just a quick jaunt up Milledge Circle.
