More About This House
Tucked among mature trees and quiet surroundings, this Colonial Revival treasure carries over a century of local history within its walls. This home offers more than just charm, it offers a profound connection to the spiritual and cultural fabric of Milledgeville.Steeped in a rich legacy of faith and community, the home has served many purposes over the decades, each chapter adding to its character and charm.
In 1934, the structure was thoughtfully restored and transformed into two apartments. It later became a residence for nuns, an elementary school from 1951 to 1956, and then served as the parish’s Sunday school through the early 1980s.
In 1983, rather than see the home lost to time, the church made the extraordinary decision to preserve its legacy by relocating it to a peaceful two-acre property on Old Monticello Road. There, the home was expanded with care and intention, blending original elements with new spaces that honored the past while embracing the future.
From 1983 to 2025, updates have included modern appliances, HVAC systems, lighting, windows, and a spacious kitchen and sunroom, all completed in harmony with the home's historical roots.
Whether you’re a lover of history, a dreamer of restoration, or simply someone who feels called to preserve something meaningful, this home is ready to welcome you.
