About 602 Magnolia Street
The Colonel Edward Bird House, built in 1870, offers a rare chance to restore a piece of Georgia history. Located on a large corner lot in the Guyton Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home spans approximately 3,000 sq ft and retains original features including four fireplaces, hardwood floors, tall windows, and a central staircase. The home requires full renovation but offers strong bones and irreplaceable period details ideal for preservation. Also included is a newly constructed 360 sq ft outbuilding with electrical and plumbing rough-ins—ready to finish as a guest house, studio, or rental. Perfect for renovators or investors looking for a historically significant project with long-term value. Property sold as-is.
