Nestled on a tranquil half-acre lot, 11 Reese Street is a charming cottage with timeless appeal. Built in 1939, the house was originally divided into two separate units, with the downstairs serving as the primary living area and the upstairs functioning as a one bedroom rental unit. Eventually, it was transformed into a one-and-a-half story single-family residence with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms in the 1970’s. It has been loved by many homeowners and renters alike as it was rented for more than a decade through the 80’s and 90’s. In 1998, Chad and Blake Smith bought 11 Reese Street for their very first home. While the house needed some TLC, the mature trees, spacious yard and short walk to downtown made it the ideal house for them. Over the next 15 years, the Smiths lovingly updated their home, creating four bedrooms and two bathrooms and modernizing nearly every aspect except for the original asbestos siding and plaster walls. In 2021, a tornado swept through Newnan, and a large oak landed directly on the house, causing catastrophic damage. The family was displaced for 15 months as the house underwent a complete renovation; only the foundation and original studs remained. When the house was rebuilt, the Smiths made thoughtful changes, including a master bedroom and en-suite bath on the main floor, a breakfast area off the kitchen overlooking the backyard, and a covered porch. Now, three years later, the Smiths are settled into their beautifully reimagined home, enjoying the blend of modern comforts with the heart and soul of its original cottage design.
