1068 Lamar Road, Macon

Nestled in the heart of North Macon, this 1945 cottage captures a rare ''cabin-in-the-city'' soul on a sprawling 1.6 acre lot. The interior is a masterclass in rustic character, featuring original heart pine flooring throughout the main house and exquisite brick floors in the dining room. There's no shortage of architectural details, from the beamed ceilings in the bedroom and dining room to the warm barnwood ceiling in the kitchen. While the main level offers two large bedrooms, the heated and cooled upstairs provides two additional rooms that are perfectly suited for a small guest retreat, a tucked-away reading nook, a home office, or storage. Many recent updates including a new roof, new plumbing and fresh paint inside and out. Nature lovers will find their sanctuary outside, where the property unfolds into a private park-like setting complete with mature trees and walking trails. The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive, featuring a massive front porch perfect for wildlife viewing, a side patio for alfresco dining, and a huge covered back patio finished with beautiful clay tile. A detached outbuilding includes a dedicated studio or workshop area, making this the ultimate artist's dream or a quiet creative retreat. This property offers the perfect balance of secluded woodland living and prime North Macon convenience.
