Renovated in 2011, the home was thoughtfully reimagined to preserve its architectural character while introducing refined, high-end finishes. The heart of the home is a stunning chef’s kitchen featuring an oversized island, stainless steel appliances and gas stove, and designer details so exceptional it was showcased in the Fall 2014 issue of Kitchen and Bath ideas, a Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

In the backyard an expansive elevated deck overlooks a lush, tree-lined backyard, offering a peaceful escape perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. A detached outbuilding adds flexibility for storage, or workshop. Beyond aesthetics, the home delivers true quality with foam insulation in the attic, a roof replaced in 2010, enhanced structural systems, and a fully waterproofed basement (2014), ensuring comfort and peace of mind. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a thoughtfully curated home in one of Metro Atlanta’s most vibrant and walkable communities.
