Description

Historic Grandeur. Everyday Living. Some homes are simply houses. And then there is 1029 S. Elm Street. Built in 1870 and standing as one of Commerce, Georgia's most distinguished landmarks, this breathtaking neoclassical residence offers something that no new construction ever could — a soul. From the four soaring 20-foot fluted columns that greet you at the end of a paver walkway, to the sweeping grand staircase that anchors the interior, every inch of this home tells a story of craftsmanship, history, and enduring beauty. Step through the bold black front door and let the home unfold before you. Original hardwood floors stretch beneath your feet, rich and warm from a century and a half of life well lived. An ornate bronze-and-crystal chandelier commands the front parlor, suspended from a beautifully detailed plaster ceiling medallion. Decorative fireplaces anchor multiple rooms, each one framed with original millwork that simply cannot be replicated today. Tall windows flood the rooms with natural light, giving the entire home an open, airy quality that feels both grand and genuinely livable. Spread across two generous floors, the home offers four bedrooms — two on the main level and two upstairs — along with flexible living spaces that adapt beautifully to how you choose to live. The upstairs rooms are spacious and light-filled, with the kind of ceiling height and architectural detail that make every morning feel a little more special. A charming powder room with damask wallpaper, a pedestal sink, and an oval mirror adds a boutique-hotel touch that guests consistently notice and adore. The residential kitchen is both beautiful and functional — granite countertops, custom white cabinetry to the ceiling, a marble tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a decorative iron chandelier overhead. Whether you're cooking for two or hosting a dinner party, this kitchen was designed to be at the center of a home that loves to entertain. Outside, the property truly sets itself apart. A covered open-air pavilion with a coffered ceiling, built-in speakers, and a stunning black-and-white marble checkered floor extends the living space into the outdoors in the most elegant way imaginable. A crystal chandelier hangs at the pavilion's center — as beautiful at noon as it is under the stars. Beyond, a lush rear lawn wrapped in mature landscaping creates a private, peaceful retreat, while a secluded woodland area tucked beneath a canopy of old-growth hardwoods offers a rare sense of natural solitude right in town. Situated on 1.59 acres with commercial zoning, this property offers a lifestyle that is as flexible as it is extraordinary. Live here fully and privately as your family home. Work from home with your own business address, just as neighbors on this very street do. Or take advantage of the existing event infrastructure — the commercial kitchen, the pavilion, the ceremony grounds — to generate income on your own terms and your own schedule. The choice is entirely yours. Conveniently located in the heart of Commerce just 5 miles from I-85 and 20 minutes from Athens, yet set on a quiet, tree-lined street that feels worlds away from the rush of daily life. This is not just a home purchase — it is a lifestyle decision, a legacy acquisition, and an opportunity that comes along perhaps once in a generation. • BUILT 1870 · NEOCLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE • 4 BEDROOMS · 2 FLOORS • 1.59 ACRES · COMMERCIAL ZONING • ORIGINAL HARDWOOD FLOORS • GRAND STAIRCASE & CRYSTAL CHANDELIER • DECORATIVE FIREPLACES THROUGHOUT • PLASTER CEILING MEDALLIONS • RENOVATED RESIDENTIAL KITCHEN • SEPARATE COMMERCIAL KITCHEN • COVERED PAVILION W/ CHANDELIER • CHECKERED MARBLE OUTDOOR FLOOR • WOODLAND GROUNDS & PRIVATE LAWN • JULIET BALCONY · SECOND FLOOR • 5 MILES TO I-85 · 20 MIN TO ATHENS • LIVE · WORK · ENTERTAIN • INCOME POTENTIAL INCLUDED
