This unique 3, 888 square foot, one level, 1886 Queen Anne Victorian Cottage is located on highly coveted Taylor Street in Americus's Historic District. Originally part of the Taylor family property, for whom the street is named, the land was purchased on November 10, 1885 and the original house built shortly thereafter. It has been owned over the past 140 years by a number of prominent local families whose ancestors were pioneer settlers of Sumter County. The house was heavily renovated in 2016 and has 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, charming hardwood floors, 11-foot-high ceilings, three fireplaces, new roof (2021), new HVAC (2022), detached 3-car garage (2020) and a fenced back yard with antique roses and camellias. The covered front porch retains its original star brackets and millwork. The front part of the house includes formal living and dining rooms with original windows, a 300 square foot custom kitchen, a study, 3 full bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and a premier suite sitting room.
The eat-in kitchen features separate kitchen prep, cooking and entertainment areas, with three dishwashers and a 10-foot-long granite-topped serving area with undercounter Manitowoc ice maker and wine coolers and custom dish drawer cabinetry. The premier suite features a wood burning fireplace and a sitting room that opens onto a private, covered porch, leading down onto an uncovered deck and an in-suite bath with custom cabinetry, a soaking tub, double vanities and French doors that open onto the private, covered porch. The second bedroom has original heart pine floors, four original 8.5 bay windows, a gas burning fireplace and an in suite full tiled bath with custom cabinetry.
