Movies, Money and this Historic Home in Covington! Really? Glad you asked ,because YES, this home has it all! Historic charm and only a few blocks to the gorgeous town square of COVINGTON GA. This gem of a home has 4 bedrooms/ 3 full bathrooms and does have some TV secrets! The wrap-around front porch has been used and can still be used as the home of one of the characters for " SWEET MAGNOLIAS" the Netflix TV series being filmed all around Covington. Dana Sue, the fictional owner of Sullivans ( Mystic Grill) in the show, lives in the house(supposedly). They only use the front porch of course, but they also pay you to use this front porch about 2-4 times a year! So hello to easy income as well as the opportunity to learn about the film industry. The Sellers have been so pleased with them for the past 4 years. Inside you will find mostly original hardwood floors, high ceilings, mouldings, 2 fireplaces, Living room, dining room (huge), 4 bedrooms with the primary bedroom boasting 2 closets and also the ensuite has been redone with a tiled shower and lovely soaking tub and separate vanities. The hub of the kitchen is an enormous center square island with a granite top, place for the microwave, breakfasts and talks! Plenty of storage and great lighting. Off the kitchen at the back door you head to the deck and firepit area with lights, trees, flowers and cute garden/storage shed and of course, a great picket fence. On the backside of the home off the kitchen is the den, snack/mini kitchen area, laundry room and bath and the 4th bedroom. Now this Seller decided to "lock it off" from the kitchen since it had a separate entry and use it as a Fully Furnished VRBO since last fall. Well this one bedroom/ one bath has done very well for itself and again became a money maker for this couple. Lots of the renters are here to do the Film tours like the Vampire Diary tours and ones that take folks to all the houses and places in and around Covington that have been used in film industry (we do have some film studios in Covington)! Again that mortgage payment is looking even better now..right? If you only need 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, then this might be the perfect house for you. And if you don't then just add a door knob to the kitchen door, and you will then again have the 4 bedroom/ 3 bath home! Many opportunities await the right buyer for this historic home which is only a few blocks from downtown Covington. You can have a golf cart to go to and from town, use the many walking trails, Lake Varner, Lake Jackson for fishing/boating nearby, golf courses, colleges , as well as shopping, restaurants, art, theatre, and of course, Atlanta if you need it! Don't miss this magical home! Call today to make an appointment! The AirB&B/VBRO can be transferrred.
