Your Guide to Moving, Living, and Thriving in Metro Atlanta

50 Elder Drive; Jefferson, GA 30549

$775,000

Rarely does an opportunity like this become available within the City of Jefferson. Set on four private acres inside the city limits, this exceptional property combines a beautifully renovated traditional home, a fully equipped carriage house, mature pecan trees and remarkable future potential—all within walking distance of Jefferson City Schools and downtown. Believed to have been part of the original Elder family homestead, the property welcomes you with a circular drive winding beneath a canopy of mature trees. Expansive porches wrap the home, including a screened section connected to the rear deck, creating an effortless setting for entertaining, outdoor dining or quiet evenings overlooking the property. Inside, thoughtful renovations honor the home’s original character while providing the comfort and functionality expected today. Solid hardwood flooring extends throughout, lighting and finishes have been refreshed, and the floor plan has been opened to create an easy flow between the home’s multiple gathering spaces. The custom kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring solid wood cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, a farmhouse sink, gas range with an additional baking drawer, pot filler and an oversized island with a built-in microwave and warming drawer. An accordion window opens the breakfast area directly to the screened-porch bar, connecting the kitchen and outdoor entertaining spaces in a truly distinctive way. The home offers a large family room, a formal living room with a fireplace and a dining room spacious enough to accommodate gatherings of twelve or more. The generously sized primary suite includes a soaking tub, separate shower, expanded closet and private laundry. One secondary bedroom features an en-suite bath, while two additional bedrooms share a spacious double-vanity bathroom. Three separate laundry areas—including the primary-suite laundry, main household laundry and carriage-house laundry—provide exceptional convenience. The property has also been thoughtfully positioned for future outdoor living, with space available for a pool. A main-level exterior entrance provides direct access to a beautifully renovated bathroom, while the basement-level garage includes an additional half bath—an ideal arrangement for future pool use, outdoor entertaining, a workshop or hobby space. Significant improvements completed in 2023 include four new HVAC systems, encapsulation of the basement, garage and crawl space, installation of a commercial-grade water-mitigation pump and replacement of the primary plumbing line, offering valuable peace of mind. The beautifully finished carriage house functions as a complete secondary residence with a private entrance, bedroom, full bathroom, living and dining areas, full kitchen, washer and dryer, and dedicated laundry space. Designed with ADA considerations in mind, it is well suited for multigenerational living, extended guests, a private home office or potential income-producing use. With access to city sewer and natural gas, the acreage may also offer future subdivision or expansion possibilities, subject to applicable governmental approvals. Whether envisioned as a family compound, legacy estate, investment opportunity or private retreat with room to grow, this property offers flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. Jefferson City Schools, the public library, downtown shops and restaurants are all nearby, with Jefferson City Lake located just beyond the property. Offering meaningful history, four in-city acres, a separate residence and extraordinary potential, this is more than a home—it is an opportunity to own a piece of Jefferson’s story while creating your own.
