Crafted and lived in by its architect owner, this home has been transformed into a Midcentury Cottage that feels both timeless and entirely custom. Set on an expansive half-acre+ lot, the property walks out to a level play area beneath a beautiful white oak that anchors the yard before giving way to landscaped trails that descend to a quiet creek, providing a private retreat you almost never find in Garden Hills. The residence has been enlarged and updated with careful intention. A full second-story addition blends seamlessly with the original structure thanks to consistent trim work, cove moulding, solid wood doors, and hardwood floors throughout. Modern upgrades include new casement windows, electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, and a new hot water heater, giving the home the reliability of new construction with the character of an established property. The renovated kitchen and primary bath feature tile, marble, and quartz surfaces, along with new and updated cabinetry and fixtures. The primary suite on the main level features a walk-in closet with built-in shelving, a window seat, dual vanity and a frameless glass shower. A charming enclosed sunroom—heated and cooled for year-round use—showcases tongue-and-groove ceilings, built-ins, and classic windows that fill the space with natural light. Outdoors, you’ll find an all-new Trex deck, kitchen garden, rain barrels, a compost corner, and thoughtful landscaping that enhances the property’s natural beauty. Car lovers will appreciate the detached and attached garage combination with parking for up to six vehicles, all anchored by a granite foundation. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac, the welcoming rocking-chair front porch makes this home feel tucked away while still firmly rooted in the heart of Garden Hills. Hurry—this incredible home won’t last long
