Refined Southern Estate Living on a Private, Landscaped Parcel in Bainbridge
Gracefully framed by mature Japanese magnolias and decades-old camellia trees, this beautifully updated estate blends timeless Southern architecture with extensive modern improvements. From the moment you enter the tree-lined drive, the setting feels private, established, and exceptional.
Offering 5 bedrooms and 4½ baths, this thoughtfully designed home provides both elegance and flexibility. The spacious primary suite is located on the main level, along with an additional bedroom that easily functions as a private office or guest suite.
Two grand staircases allow convenient access to the upper level from both ends of the home , a classic architectural feature that adds both charm and functionality.
Upstairs, you’ll find additional bedrooms, beautifully updated baths, and a dedicated bonus TV / movie room with new flooring (2025), creating the perfect retreat for family nights or entertaining. The upstairs laundry area, hall, walk-in closet, and one bath were also fully refreshed in 2025 with new flooring, vanity, and fixtures. A newly constructed closet wall adds additional storage and usability.
The main level features formal and casual living spaces, multiple fireplaces, and generous natural light throughout. The kitchen has been updated with a new dishwasher (2020), new refrigerator (2025), and water line improvements.
Extensive upgrades include:
New roofs on the home and all buildings (2020)
New pool liner and wrought iron fencing (2020)
Wood fencing (2021)
Driveway, walkways, and significant landscaping enhancements (2020–2026)
New hot water heaters (2020)
Four central HVAC systems
New washer, dryer, cabinetry, and countertops in laundry (2025)
Power pole added to serve back lot and large stall
Lighting, side and rear walls, and a 50-amp RV hookup installed in the oversized stall
Outdoor features are equally impressive. The pool area is fully fenced and private. An additional storage building offers potential conversion into a pool house. Parking accommodations include a single-car garage, two-car carport, and a large covered stall ideal for an RV or boat.
Located just minutes from public and private schools, the historic downtown square, and the growing conveniences of Bainbridge , including the new Publix and upcoming LongHorn Steakhouse , this property offers estate-style living with modern accessibility.
This is not just a home. It’s a legacy property with space, character, and presence.

What the owner loves about this home
I love the way the mature Japanese magnolias and historic camellias frame the entrance , it feels private, timeless, and truly special. The layout is incredibly functional with the primary suite downstairs, flexible office space, and a cozy movie room upstairs. The outdoor space, pool area, and large parcel give you room to breathe while still being just minutes from downtown Bainbridge. It’s elegant, spacious, and simply feels like home the moment you arrive.
