Property Description

This turn key Atkins Park charmer offers one pleasant surprise after another. From the brand new 8wide Hardie plank siding, refreshed blue door with the vintage mail slot, the soft white paint, and the whimsical 10ft window box, this 1920 totally renovated beauty has come alive. Step onto the elevated, inviting front porch and perch yourself on a rocker to relax, unwind, greet a neighbor, read a book, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Step through the front door and you are greeted with charm everywhere- from the soaring 10 foot ceilings, custom moulding, refreshed vintage hardwood floors, custom bookcases and plantation shutters. Straight ahead is an enclosed sun porch, with paneling, closing glass French doors, custom built in coat/storage closets, and bookshelves to house over 600 books. This is a perfect office/ study/ cozy retreat. An original gas fireplace with herringbone surround anchors the large living room with both a front and center sitting area. The layout is perfect for gatherings of all sizes to watch TV and enjoy each other's company. Two walls contain beautiful built in cabinetry. Memorable meals can be served in this generously sized dining room, located perfectly between the living room and kitchen, plenty of room for seatings of 12 or more. The renovated kitchen has a layout that is so functional and inviting to be in. Soapstone counters and stainless steel appliances make cooking a joy, along with a wall of windows, a wide breakfast counter seating area, and plenty of room for more than one chef. Additional storage in the butlers pantry at the back door provides abundant storage to keep the kitchen clutter free. The primary bedroom contains custom cabinetry and closets thoughtfully designed to keep everything in its place. From drawer within drawers, integrated mirrors, and a ten foot tall shoe closet, you can feel the sophistication and quality that was considered. It's hard to believe this house is over 100 years old. Marble lines almost every surface in the primary bath, giving it clean fresh lines while also containing modern touches like heated floors, an oversized shower, and a skylight and substantial storage in the water closet. Two larger than usual bedrooms complete the floor plan, each with large closets, and more plantation shutters. Between them sits a period appropriate but fresh marble tiled bath complete with claw foot tub/ shower, and a large soapstone vanity. Permanent stairs to the attic are off the hallway, where you find a huge floored space, perfect for storage or available for easy expansion. Yet another pleasant surprise is the detached and cozy guest cottage with its own full bathroom and mini breakfast bar. Any guest would feel welcome in this private retreat, along with a separate exercise room ( and bonus storage) as a part of this structure.. The 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom listed in FMLS are in this guest house Flat, walk out, private, fenced back yards and patios are so hard to find in hilly Atlanta. This yard has all of that.
