Description
A Legacy Property Unlike Any Other Step into a piece of living history. Built in 1870 and lovingly restored to its full neoclassical grandeur, South Elm Events at 1029 S. Elm Street in Commerce, Georgia is a rare commercial property that commands attention the moment it comes into view. Four soaring 20-foot fluted columns rise from a broad paver walkway, framing a bold black entry door beneath a second-floor Juliet balcony an arrival experience that is, simply put, unforgettable. Spanning two full floors with four bedrooms, this 1.59-acre commercially zoned property has been thoughtfully reimagined as a full-service event venue. The interior radiates warmth and elegance: rich original hardwood floors, ornate plaster ceiling medallions, an antique bronze-and-crystal chandelier in the front parlor, and decorative fireplaces throughout each one a quiet reminder of the craftsmanship of another era. Two fully equipped kitchens serve every culinary need. The residential kitchen features granite countertops, white custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a decorative iron chandelier perfect for rehearsal dinners and intimate gatherings. The separate commercial kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel prep tables, double convection ovens, a full-size reach-in refrigerator, a flat-top griddle, and a three-compartment sink ready for high-volume catering operations. Outside, the grounds continue to impress. A covered open-air pavilion with a coffered white ceiling, crystal chandelier, built-in speakers, and a dramatic black-and-white checkered marble floor creates an iconic setting for dancing, cocktail receptions, or al fresco dining. String lights sweep across the lush rear lawn where round tables seat over 100 guests under the Georgia sky. Tucked beyond, a dedicated woodland ceremony area with permanent concrete benches and a natural canopy of mature hardwoods offers one of the most serene outdoor settings in Northeast Georgia. The upstairs accommodates dedicated bridal and groom suites complete with Hollywood vanity stations a thoughtful amenity that distinguishes this venue from competitors. A beautifully appointed powder room with damask wallpaper and a pedestal sink adds a boutique-hotel sensibility guests notice and appreciate. With commercial zoning, 1.59 acres, ample parking, and infrastructure already in place for weddings, corporate events, photography sessions, private dining, and more this is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a turnkey legacy venue in one of Georgia's most charming small cities, just 5 miles from I-85 and 20 minutes from Athens.
