The Shankle House
Commerce, Georgia | $775,000
They just do not build homes like this anymore! Listed on the National Historic Registry, the Seaborn M. Shankle house is thought to be the oldest building in Commerce, GA. Located in the Central Business District and zoned Residential/Commercial, this historic home offers a myriad of potential uses. Only an hour from Atlanta via I-85N, convenient to Athens, Lake Hartwell, Lavonia, Braselton and more. The original structure was built by Eli Shankle, one of the first pioneers of the area. He established a trading post and with his wife Rebecca built a two-room cabin c. 1843. In the mid-1870s, their son Seaborn Shankle added the larger Italianate-influenced house around the existing structure. Both the original cabin and the 19th-century addition comprise the existing house you see today. With modern updates, many original details, and a beautiful pool, the next caretaker can easily transition into carrying on the home’s legacy.
