Nestled behind a front border wall of greenery, the home sits privately on a gorgeous shaded 1.55 acre corner lot with remnants remaining of the once formal gardens amid soaring oaks, pecan, ginkgo, dogwood & pine trees, varieties of flowering shrubs and a huge fig tree! The grounds seem almost magical with rock lined walkways, meandering paths, beautiful iron gate and a unique rock gazebo of sorts taking one's imagination back to a past era of laughter and chatter, children playing and hours of enjoyment spent in the gardens of old that once surrounded this well loved home. For sure many a family story has been told here around the dinner table and on the porches with William Fluker being the grandson of Revolutionary soldier, Owen Fluker who came to this areain the 1750's and he himself a sharpshooter in Toombs Brigade, Company D, 15th Georgia during the War Between the States, serving under General Longstreet. William arrived in Washington, Georgia around 1867 establishing William T Fluker's Gunsmith Shop located upstairs above one of the storefronts on the Square. IF walls could TALK...
