There’s a certain kind of home that welcomes you the moment you step inside — the kind with tall ceilings, real hardwood floors, and the kind of gentle character you only find in a well-loved historic property. This 1900-built home at 113 Foster Street has that feeling, while offering the modern updates and space today’s buyers are searching for.
Sitting on 1.1 private acres in Cornelia, the property feels tucked away yet close to everything. The privacy fence, mature trees, and wide-open yard create a sense of calm the moment you arrive. A huge magnolia tree anchors the landscape, and fruit and nut trees add quiet movement and charm as the wind passes through.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed: new lighting, updated flooring in key areas, plumbing maintenance, fresh paint, a fully repainted entry foyer, and renewed exterior brick and trim. Even the vintage bench in the foyer has been restored, giving the home a simple, welcoming touch. The HVAC and metal roof have both been professionally inspected and certified to give future buyers added peace of mind.
One of the biggest surprises here is the layout. Every bedroom has its own full ensuite bathroom—a rare feature in a historic home and a major advantage for families, guests, or multigenerational living. There’s also a separate efficiency apartment, updated with new flooring, cabinetry touches, paint, and dedicated plumbing. It’s ideal for earning rental income, housing extended family, or creating a private guest retreat.
While the home feels peaceful and secluded, you’re still just minutes from local favorites, including Big Daddy’s with its famous Philly cheesesteak and Salmon BLT. Cornelia’s beloved Big Red Apple Festival each September brings the whole community together and adds to the small-town charm that draws people here year after year.
Move-in ready, full of personality, and offering both space and flexibility, this home includes a Home Warranty and may qualify for an amazing 1% down-payment program for eligible buyers. If you’ve been searching for a home with history, heart, and modern convenience, 113 Foster Street is ready to welcome you in.
