Those are some definite porch goals! Wrap around double porches! The Bailey House was built in 1896. It is located on .87 acres in Hartwell, Georgia. Wish there were more pictures. The front door is beautiful and I love the brick and wrought iron fencing. The home features original hardwood floors underneath the carpeting, ornate staircase, bead board wainscoting, bead board ceilings, and built-ins. There are ten fireplaces in this home! Six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 4,774 square feet. $375,000
