Description

Sitting on a full half plus acre in Historic Williams Park, this single story 1946 Craftsman cottage is ready for its new owner. It was completely taken down to the studs in 2012/2013 and built back with all new copper plumbing, electrical, HVAC, sheetrock, floors, cabinets, appliances, and more. A primary bedroom/bath and family/great room addition on the back of the house as well as a detached 3 car garage and apartment over the garage completes the package. A spacious stone patio and steps, separates the house from the garage. Beyond the garage is a shady wooded fire pit area and a shed, with a front porch, for the riding lawn mower and storage. There is even room for a pool, if that is on your wish list! The house contains 4 bedrooms and 3 baths with the original hardwood floors in the secondary bedrooms. The rest of the flooring is tongue and groove from the ceiling of the Atlanta Stove Works Foundry, where Krog Market is today. The original siding from the house is now on the ceiling of the front porch and gracious Porte-cochere off the kitchen. The ceiling in the kitchen is vaulted and the unique design of the cabinets brings abundant light into the space. Wood beams in the kitchen and family/great room bring even more character to those areas, as well as the stack stone fireplace with 100+-year-old wood mantle. This is not your "one big open room" concept or cookie cutter floor plan, this is a unique, one-of-a-kind house with amazing character and functionality. With the strategically placed windows and French doors, you can see from the kitchen all the way to the back of the property, which also lets in fabulous light. One of the garages is currently being used as a workshop, with running water and electricity. The apartment upstairs over the garage has a bedroom, full bath and kitchen, no stove, living room and dining area, plus huge walk-in closets for storage. Those floors are hickory and flamed black granite are the countertops. If you are looking for a piece of history in a comfortable and beautiful home, in a sought-after neighborhood with walkability, this might be the one for you. If listing agent shows the property, the commission shall be 2%, without prior arrangement.
