February 2024 (Athens, GA). Coldwell Banker Upchurch Realty REALTORS® Lisa Langford and Bonnie Dunn list early 1800’s historical home on 1490 Whit Davis Road. Situated on almost 10 acres, the southern home is on the market for $799,000 and is believed to be the second oldest home in Athens, GA.
According to the family, the original log cabin, located at the back of the home, was constructed in the early 1800’s, and the front part of the home was developed in1860 on over 1,250 acres. Since its construction, 1490 Whit Davis Road has been a home to six generations, and the original owners, John Dean (1786) and Tabitha Morton Dean (1806), were among the first settlers of eastern Clarke County, according to the Georgia Historical Quarterly.
The early antebellum era home was remodeled in 1984, but still retains its historic character. It features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, vintage chandeliers, a variety of outbuildings, a sunken bathtub, ceiling windows and antique wood paneling. With a mix of old and new, this historic property offers endless opportunities.
A family member who lived in the home from 1949 to 1953, recalls when the original outbuildings included, “a barn, the building where the old wagon was kept with a room on each side, a chicken house, smoke house, old garage, old kitchen, and a well with the bucket at the top.” The family hopes the future homeowners will adapt the home to their needs.
