This charming home is in the perfect location for those that want an active lifestyle in a social neighborhood! Memorial Park is across the street, the Atlanta Beltline, Bobby Jones Golf, and Bitsy Grant tennis are a block away, and nearby Northside Drive provides easy access to I-75 and the rest of the city.
The home was designed in 1950 by architect Linton Hopkins Young, who also designed many Highlands, NC homes including the Old Edwards Inn. Shake siding and stacked stone accents create an inviting aesthetic that feels like a private retreat. A brand new DaVinci slate roof adds to the charm and character of the home.
The gated motor court provides ample parking, with 3 covered parking spaces. Two under the home with poured concrete flooring, and one in a detached carport.
Main Level
A steel framed glass front door leads to the entry foyer and a cozy living room with built-in book cases framing a large fireplace and charming arched doorways.
The bright dining room provides access to the kitchen and a cozy fireside den with beamed ceilings and chestnut paneled walls.
The kitchen has marble countertops with beamed ceiling and features a mud closet, counter seating along the central island, and a large breakfast area with a bay window.
The kitchen opens to a brick floored keeping room that leads to an updated screened porch. An expansive 2-tiered deck with a built-in outdoor kitchen includes a wonderful outdoor dining area and easy access to the level backyard. The spacious backyard is a lush setting for garden parties or bonfires. It is fully fenced in and includes a fire pit and bocce ball court.
There are two bedroom suites on the main floor, one guest suite as well as the primary suite which has an updated bathroom with dual vanities, a large shower, and a walk-in closet with built-in cabinets.
Upper Level
The upper level features two generous bedrooms and one full bath, with attic space that could allow for the addition of another bath.
Bonus Spaces
A bonus room “retreat” over the detached carport provides the perfect spot for a gym or private home office. The home is elevated well out of the floodplain, and the expansive basement level provides plenty of storage, room for hobbies, or a rainy-day place for the kids to play.
You can really have it all this home, a very special private retreat when you want to be home with your family, and a thriving neighborhood full of fun activities when you are ready to get out!
