Built in 1937, this timeless Craftsman invites you to slow down and savor the moments that matter most. This stately, brick home exemplifies the artistry and charm that make historic properties remarkable! Newly completed landscaping accentuates the architecture to create stunning curb appeal. From the moment you approach the welcoming front porch, it's clear that this property is a testament to a different era--a time in small-town America where neighbors sat on porches, sharing tea and conversation. Some homes provide shelter--homes like this become a part of your story.
The original, bevel glass door welcomes you inside, where classic architecture and thoughtful updates merge beautifully. Inside, every room reflects an era when homes were built to last and designed to bring people together. Sunlight pours through the windows, creating warm, inviting spaces for holiday gatherings, celebratory dinners, or quiet mornings with a cup of coffee. Rich architectural details and thoughtful updates blend seamlessly, offering both charm and peace of mind.
Expansive living areas are filled with natural light and rich in original details, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The ornate cove crown molding, unpainted wood trim, picture rail, built-in bookcases, and stunning staircase are the antidote to ordinary! The living and dining rooms are spacious and welcoming, as the decorative fireplace and updated windows add ample light and warmth to the space. Adjacent to the dining room, a light-filled sunroom is a plant-lovers dream, and the perfect size for a reading room, office, or hobby space. All of the rooms in this home are spacious, and the kitchen is no exception! The original upper cabinets are charming and functional, while the island provides casual dining and a layout fit for a modern lifestyle!
Unlike many historic homes, this one was designed for real life! The main level bedroom offers built-in cabinetry and a walk-in closet for a perfect office, guest room, or primary. Adjacent to this space is a full bathroom with ample storage. The light-filled sunroom overlooking the back lawn offers an idyllic space to enjoy the sunshine on quiet mornings. The floors have been freshly painted in the sunroom and adjoining main-level laundry space. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, each featuring oversized walk-in closets--a rare and welcome feature in a home of this era. A second full bathroom upstairs is convenient and comfortable.
Storage is no problem in this spacious home! With 2,566 fully finished square feet and a comfortable enclosed sunroom--this home offers 2,916 square feet of usable living space on the first and second floors alone! In addition to the oversized closets throughout, the home offers a full unfinished basement with multiple storage areas and a one-car garage. Outside, a decorative aluminum fence creates an enclosed yard which offers peace of mind for pets and play. The additional terraced lawn invites gardening, backyard games, and evenings spent under the stars. It's a place where friends can gather, flowers can flourish, and memories can grow.
This is a unique opportunity to own a beautifully preserved historic home which has been responsibly updated through the decades. Insulated replacement windows, a newer roof, electrical updates, and recently installed central heat and air provide modern amenities to this historic home. Located just minutes from Emory & Henry University, the shops and restaurants of downtown Marion, and the outdoor adventures of Hungry Mother State Park, you'll enjoy a lifestyle that balances small-town charm, natural beauty, and everyday convenience. This isn't simply a historic house. It's a place to put down roots, create traditions, and become the next chapter in a story nearly a century in the making!
