Hardwood floors, tiled bathrooms, upgraded fixtures, and Chicago brick flooring in the foyer and kitchen are complemented by reclaimed wood in casement trim, the butlers pantry, laundry areas, and other details throughout the home. Reclaimed materials were sourced from several historic properties, including Athens former Coca-Cola/Bottleworks property and the historic William Skinner home associated with George Washingtons 1791 travels through Georgia. The chefs kitchen features Viking appliances and flows naturally into the homes generous living and entertaining spaces.
