MARIETTA SQUARE: TWO HOMES ON ONE AMAZING PROPERTY! The main house is a Bell Bomber Beauty, lovingly renovated and reimagined for modern living with every ounce of charm intact. Original siding, moldings, hardwood floors, and doors were painstakingly protected, and square footage added to expand the kitchen and create a second bath. Both main bedrooms are surprisingly private, and the original third bedroom is a wonderful flex space for guests, den, office or studio. All new wiring, plumbing, HVAC, windows, appliances, deck, insulation, drywall, paint, and roof, with a fun mix of old and new fixtures, including a gorgeous 1940s crystal chandelier. A heated and cooled attic space makes a wonderful playroom or sleepover space, and a small basement houses mechanicals (and anything else you’d like to stash there!) Out back, a brand new guest house creates the ultimate in multi-generational living, or friends-or-family-come-to-stay-without-being-underfoot. Absolutely adorable, it is a complete Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with a bedroom, full bath, kitchen/living/dining and laundry. This Granny Pad is ready to delight folks of all ages and has its own private, landscaped yard with plenty of space. A detached one-car garage with additional storage space is just a few years old and preens under a new roof. The true showstopper is a formal garden, expertly designed by the previous owner, a Master Gardener who created the space that now connects the two homes, and was featured multiple times on local garden tours. You’ll swoon over brick pathways, established plants and fresh new specimens, and a wonderful covered pavilion under which to sit and enjoy it. All of this smack dab in the heart of Historic Marietta, steps from Marietta Square, Marietta Middle School, and West Side Elementary School. This isn’t just an opportunity to own a property that feels like a venue, it’s a chance to immerse yourself in Marietta history and Marietta pride. Don’t miss it! Final touches on both homes and grounds are underway. Professional photos coming soon! (Multiple listing service details are for the main house only) Listing Agent is a Principal/Owner.
