Located in picturesque Inman Park, this Queen Anne Victorian invites with a beautifully landscaped front yard leading to the charming and deep covered front porch. Extensively renovated in 2023, this home seamlessly integrates modern amenities with historic charm. The porch has been completely refinished, including new hardwood flooring, ceiling, roof, porch rails, door hardware, speakers connected to the interior surround-sound system and a stylish outdoor fan. Transom-topped double front doors open into the main living room, which features integrated surround-sound, a wall of windows and hardwood floors with perimeter inlay. Through original pocket doors, the adjacent dining room also provides access to the front porch and features an additional integrated sound system, original fireplace and five 12-over-1 windows that flood the room with natural light and front yard views. The renovated kitchen features a marble backsplash and quartzite countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances (including an AGA range and Sub-Zero refrigerator), and a large casual dining area with beadboard wainscotting. Adjoining the kitchen is a mudroom, large pantry, and second fridge and freezer space with substantial additional storage. This home features two primary suite options, one on the main floor and one on the second floor. The main-level primary suite includes an en suite bathroom with a new marble-topped vanity atop brass legs, a new bathtub/shower combination and an original inset medicine cabinet. Upstairs, the second-floor primary suite boasts generous closet space and an en suite bathroom. Additionally on the second floor, enjoy four spacious bedrooms (two with original fireplaces), two newly and completely renovated full bathrooms, a convenient and spacious laundry room, attic access and a recently rebuilt back deck with direct access to the backyard. The large, fully fenced backyard includes a flat play area with professionally installed pet-friendly turf. The backyard also features a gated driveway with a parking pad and patio and a detached, fully finished, heated and cooled space converted from a garage with endless possibilities. It is currently used as an office and listening room and features additional storage in the “second attic”, plus an additional, separately accessed, adjoining storage shed in the rear and an attached, adjustable basketball goal. In addition to the main stairs, the home features an original interior private stair running between the first and second floors with generous wine storage installed underneath. Also enjoy a full unfinished basement with interior stair access and separate entry to the backyard, complete with daylight and full-height ceilings, with easy HVAC access (including new premium HVAC unit installed in 2023) and tremendous storage, a rare amenity for the neighborhood and an opportunity to finish for the future owner. Situated on a sidewalk and tree-lined street just a few blocks from numerous restaurants (and mere steps from Fox Brothers and The Wrecking Bar), tons of shops, nearby parks, the Beltline, Krog Street Market, Little Five Points and easy access to downtown Atlanta, Midtown, Decatur and Emory, this historic Inman Park home offers abundant charm, space and convenience in the heart of Atlanta.
