They truly don't make them like this anymore. Originally built in 1901 by the Pittman family, this grand Victorian home is a historic showpiece overflowing with details and character that you just can't replicate. The gracious wraparound front porch welcomes friends and visitors, an invitation to slow down and stay awhile. Inside you're greeted by a proper foyer with delicate stained glass & an ornate grand staircase. The living room features the first of four fireplaces and coved ceilings. Through the French doors you'll find the moody dining room, perfect for your next dinner party or a quiet date night in. The kitchen has been tastefully renovated to match the historic feel of the home while offering modern amenities: Bertazzoni six-burner gas cooktop, Liebherr refrigerator, and double ovens. The soapstone counters and 1850's Pas De Calais Desvres tile backsplash (same that can be found in Monet's Giverny) give the kitchen a European flair. The main level also features a bedroom and bathroom which could be used as a primary suite or an incredible place for your guests to stay. Head upstairs (take your pick of either of the two staircases) and you'll find skyline views to remind you that although life in Grant Park feels like Mayberry, you're living in the heart of the South's most vibrant city. The second floor offers incredible flexibility for whatever your lifestyle and family require. The primary bedroom features a massive walk-in closet, rare to find in older homes, and a second sitting room that could work as an office or even a nursery (personally, I would expand the bathroom to make a master suite fit for a king, but that's just me!) Down the hall you'll find a secondary bedroom and the recently updated bathroom. Don't miss the finished attic space, the potential is endless up there. Playroom, office, yoga studio, or the world's nicest place to store your stuff. Out back you'll find the Cottage. Yes, this big beautiful Victorian home comes with ANOTHER house. The cottage is a dream. Also historic with original wood floors and vintage vibes it has a full kitchen, bathroom, and laundry so you can easily rent it out, house your college age child, in-laws, or even an au pair! Situated in a prime Grant Park location you can truly live a car-free or car-light lifestyle. Walking distance to so much. Forgot an ingredient for dinner? Just run across the street to Grant Park Market. Need a morning cup of coffee - you have Perc and Little Tart both within a block. Want to grab a quick bite to eat, you are less than a 10 minute walk to Ria's Bluebird, Birdcage, Firepit Pizza, Dakota Blue, Manny's, Mezcalito's, Grant Central, Das BBQ ... the list goes on and on. Looking for something to do on the weekend? Enjoy the many events at Oakland Cemetery, Grant Park, and Zoo Atlanta. Easy access to MARTA and the Beltline. Zoned for Parkside Elementary. There is truly so much to love about this home.
