1626 WHITNEY STREET

Imagine waking up in a charming cottage, the soft morning light filtering through mature trees in your sprawling 1/3-acre yard. You step onto your covered deck, coffee in hand, and take in the view of your whimsical greenhouse, raised garden beds, and a quaint chicken coop tucked into the lush greenery. Birds chirp, a gentle breeze rustles the leaves, and for a moment, it's easy to forget you're right in the heart of Augusta. Yet, just minutes away, you have everything you need—Augusta University, downtown restaurants, and shopping—all within easy reach. And while your home is across the street from the 105-acre VA property, your view is nothing but open green space, making it feel like you're living next to a private park.
Step inside, and you're immediately welcomed by all the character you would expect of a historic 1940s cottage. Rich hardwood floors, classic architectural details, and thoughtful updates create a cozy yet functional living space. To the right, a sunroom-turned-bar area sets the perfect scene for entertaining friends or enjoying an evening cocktail. On the main level, there are two bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite that feels like a private retreat. With a separate sitting area, French doors that open to the deck, and an ensuite bath, this is where you'll want to linger. The dining room flows effortlessly into the kitchen, where ample cabinet space keeps everything organized. Just beyond, a mudroom and laundry area with custom built-ins add practicality without sacrificing charm. A private upstairs suite with a full bath offers the perfect space for guests, a home office, or even a creative studio.
Wander outside, and you'll find yourself in a backyard unlike any other—a true urban gardener's paradise. The greenhouse, made of antique windows, adds a magical touch—perfect for nurturing plants, reading a book in a swinging chair, or simply soaking in the peace of your surroundings. Raised garden beds await your favorite herbs and vegetables, while the chicken coop completes the dream of having your own little homestead in the city. At the end of the long driveway, your detached 2-car garage doubles as a workshop, with plenty of upper-deck storage for all your projects and tools. Whether you're an artist, a woodworker, or just love having extra space, this area offers endless possibilities.
The current owner lovingly designed and maintained this home to be a forever home, pouring care into every corner. Now, it's ready for you to write the next chapter. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat in the city, a home with character, or a garden lover's dream, this one-of-a-kind Augusta gem is calling your name.
