Perched gracefully above historic Central Avenue, this iconic Summerville estate captures the timeless beauty of Augusta's past while embracing the comfort and functionality of modern living. Thoughtfully restored and elevated through exceptional updates, the home now offers more space, more light, and more livable luxury than ever before. Located on one of Augusta's most cherished historic corridors, this home is walkable to Sheehans, Monte Sano shops, churches, the AU campus, and St. Mary's.
From the street, the home makes a lasting first impression with the stately brick facade, rebuilt historic columns, manicured landscaping, and a deep, welcoming front porch that has become a signature of Central Avenue. Inside, a grand foyer sets the tone with soaring ceilings, wavy glass windows, intricate millwork, and pristine hardwood floors that continue throughout the home.
The formal living and dining rooms feature period fireplaces and flow seamlessly together through glass French doors showcasing timeless inlaid floors, restored architectural details, fresh designer paint, and updated lighting. The black-and-white kitchen serves as the heart of the home with generous counter space, walk-in pantry, timeless finishes, and new hardware.
Just beyond, the cozy family room invites everyday living with warm natural textures. A convenient half bath, additional washer/dryer hookups, and an upgraded main-floor water heater enhance functionality without compromising charm.
The second floor is home to a beautifully updated primary suite, transformed with a new walk-in closet and ensuite bath that has been fully renovated with period-appropriate selections and a spacious subway-tile shower. Two additional bedrooms, one with a private bath, the other served by a renovated hall bath, offer bright, airy spaces with charming decorative fireplaces. A second-story balcony provides a quiet outdoor retreat and the refined library/office with arched openings welcomes booklovers and scholars.
A major enhancement to the home is the fully reimagined third floor. The seller completed a top-to-bottom renovation, including a brand-new staircase, two additional bedrooms with built-in bed frames, a brand new full bath, and a versatile bonus space, ideal for guests, teens, or a private studio.
Outside, the backyard has been transformed. With three aging oaks removed, the area now enjoys abundant natural light, opening up the saltwater gunite pool and patio as a true outdoor oasis. The beds have been cleared and refreshed, making the space feel larger, brighter, and more usable. The gated driveway and rare two-car garage provide secure parking and storage.
Additional improvements include new paint throughout, new lighting and hardware in every room, new media center in the primary suite, renovated baths throughout (except main-floor powder room), updated HVAC systems, newer roof, electric vehicle charging station, and an upgraded sewer line.
This is a rare opportunity to own a fully restored, thoughtfully modernized estate on Central Avenue, where historic charm meets refined, move-in-ready living. Don't miss your chance to call this historical beauty home! Call for your appointment today!
