About 120 Shilling Way
Just like Callaway Gardens, this property is a gardener's dream-a living work of art that changes with the seasons and rewards you every time you pull into the drive. The front yard is a masterpiece of layered color and texture: flowering shrubs, evergreens, Japanese maples, and blooms that feel curated rather than planted. Out back, a walking path meanders through an exquisite garden-lush, colorful, and thoughtfully designed with thousands of flowers and ornamental plantings, punctuated by shaded sitting areas where you'll linger longer than you planned. A fenced backyard opens to an additional garden space with established vegetable beds-because here, beauty isn't just admired... it's harvested. **** And that is all before you step inside. ***** This classic Georgia home-with its wide country front porch, dormers, and welcoming presence-invites you to slow down. The foyer sets a graceful tone, with a spacious dining room just off the entry, designed for holidays, celebrations, and the kind of long-table dinners where the conversation becomes the evening. The kitchen has been recently reimagined and it shows-white Shaker cabinetry, thoughtfully placed glass-front accents, light quartz countertops, a work island with sink, and new appliances that make everyday living feel elevated. Nearby, a cozy breakfast nook with a bay window frames a view of the flower garden like a painting-your own private "garden channel," on repeat. Just beyond is an oversized laundry room with the kind of functionality you don't realize you've been missing: space for front-loaders, a laundry sink, cabinetry for keeping life tidy, and tall storage that swallows brooms, vacuums, and the "stuff" you'd rather not see. Then the home opens into an oversized great room-warm, inviting, and anchored by a remodeled fireplace with a rough-sawn wood mantel, tile surround, tile hearth, and gas logs. It's the kind of space where the best moments happen naturally: a crackle of flame, a soft blanket, a game on in the background, and the sense that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. And just off the great room-your favorite room in the house. A sunroom with its own mini-split system lets you enjoy it year-round-morning coffee, afternoon reading, evening wine-no matter the weather. It's a front-row seat to the gardens, and when you step outside, the sunroom becomes the perfect bridge between the heart of the home and the beauty of the path beyond. The primary suite is on the main level, offering true one-level living if that's your preference. The bathroom is effortless and well designed: walk-in shower, two separate vanities, two separate walk-in closets, and a private water closet-comfort with breathing room. Upstairs, guests will feel like they have their own retreat: a private en-suite tucked away across the staircase with a full bath-ideal for weekend visitors or longer stays. The "Rapunzel-style" banister overlooks the massive great room, adding charm and architectural drama, while the secondary bedrooms offer walk-in closets and share a generously sized bath. And then there's the oversized bonus room-with closet, window, and easy bath access-ready to become what life needs next: media lounge, teen-cave, creative studio, fitness space, or a truly functional home office. This is a property where you can live, sleep, work, and breathe-and where the outdoors isn't "the yard," it's part of the lifestyle. Gather at the fire pit at sunset. Pick muscadines. Plant broccoli, leeks, asparagus-whatever your seasonal dreams call for. Wander the path. Sit in the shade. Let the home hold the busy parts of life while the gardens restore the rest. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in a neighborhood of high-end homes on acre-plus lots, 120 Shilling Way offers something increasingly rare: a place that feels established, loved, and quietly extraordinary-waiting for the next person to walk in and think, "Pick me."
