c. 1840 Cottage
Oxford, GA









Zora Fair's Cottage

Step into history with one of Oxford's treasured gems, 'The Zora Fair Cottage' built in 1840 By Dr Henry Gaither. This historic home is associated with and named after Zora Fair, a confederate spy who occupied the home during the Civil War. Author and Oxford native Polly Stone Buck also lived in the home and wrote about it in her book __The Blessed Town -- Oxford at the turn of the Century.__

Blending historical charm with modern comfort, this home has over 3000 sq ft. While there have been several renovations over the almost two centuries, some original features still exist.

The main level welcomes you with a gracious living room or 'parlor,' formal dining room, den, office, a lovely sun porch, kitchen and primary bedroom and bath. Upstairs there are two additional spacious bedrooms and a bath.

Located only two blocks from prestigious Emory Oxford University Campus and for nature lovers close to Asbury Park and scenic walking trails. This picturesque quiet street is also just a short distance to downtown Covington shopping, dining and entertainment.

The lovely town of Oxford is rich in history as is this home. Come take a look, you could own a piece of history and write it's next chapter! __Please note: date built in tax record is not correct.__
