Description

A rare find - a lovely contemporary brick and vertical wood-sided home on a wooded lot located inside the perimeter just 7 miles from downtown Atlanta and 5 miles from Hatsfield/Jackson International Airport. Built by an architect in 1958, it is a true mid-century modern that gently follows the slope of the lot from the two-car carport to the eventual ravine. Follow the winding driveway to the secluded 3 bedroom, 3 bath home set amid large garden areas that include a bridge over a dry bed creek, gazebo, arbor, rock gardens and over 100 azaleas as well as dogwoods, maples and various species of roses, snowball bushes, hydrangeas, camellias, hostas, lillies, banana trees and many more collected and tended over 20+ years. There is also a 12x12 shed built to match the house in the backyard garden as well as a large fenced-in area built as a dog run directly outside the back door. Ascend a few steps to the front porch with a water feature. Enter the front door into a foyer with an entry closet and a free-standing fireplace separating it from the living/dining room and updated galley kitchen with maple cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Floor to ceiling windows overlook the ravine. Three bedrooms upstairs - owners suite with updated en-suite bath, 2 secondary bedrooms that share a second updated bath and a large linen closet. Original hardwood floors throughout. The home boasts another large living area downstairs with fireplace, bonus room with closet, and full bath. The downstairs area opens out through sliding glass doors onto a large patio.
