About this home

There's nothing quite like an A-frame — and this one delivers the kind of character and elbow room that's genuinely hard to find. Set on a level 0.77-acre lot with lush surroundings and a peaceful, open feel, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home in Clarke County offers a rare combination of architectural charm and practical versatility. From the outside, the metal roof and vinyl siding with brick accents give the home a durable, low-maintenance exterior, while the wraparound deck and covered porch create the kind of outdoor living space that makes you want to slow down. A large detached metal building anchors the back of the property — ideal for a workshop, hobby space, or serious storage needs — and the private yard adds a sense of seclusion without feeling remote. Inside, the two-story layout makes smart use of its 1,280 square feet. Crown molding, built-in bookcases, and a masonry fireplace bring warmth and personality to the living spaces. Flooring throughout includes ceramic tile, luxury vinyl, and carpet, with room to make updates that reflect your own style. The kitchen connects to the main living areas, and a walk-in closet adds practical storage to the upper level where the primary suite is located. Central heat and air keep things comfortable year-round, and the detached parking adds to the functionality of this well-rounded property. Built in 1982, the home has good bones and a one-of-a-kind footprint that simply doesn't come up often at this price point. Located within the Clarke County School District, this property sits in a county that continues to attract buyers looking for space, character, and value. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a weekend retreat seeker, or an investor with an eye for potential, this property checks boxes that cookie-cutter homes can't. Schedule your showing and come see what makes this A-frame worth a closer look.
