HISTORIC MARIETTA SQUARE VICTORIAN! If you've walked or driven around beautiful, historical Marietta Square swooning over the pretty architecture and tree-lined streets, you know this house. You stand outside it as you line up for the Halloween parade. You admire it as you drive through the city gazing up at the lighted orbs high in the trees for the holidays. You stroll past it on your way to watch the fireworks on the 4th of July and think "They must have a stellar view of the fireworks from that backyard." (They sure do!) You may have seen it featured on the Marietta Pilgrimage Home Tour in 2022...or in 1995. What you may not know, is the love that has gone into preserving the rich history of its 1906 roots while affording it the modern conveniences that we all enjoy. This 3 bedroom, 3 bath home is like stepping back in time... if you had a time machine and carried a tankless water heater, a Gunite pool, soft-close kitchen cabinets, insulated windows, and a hot tub back with you. The kitchen and baths have been completely updated and pay homage to the home's origins. The original heart pine floors preen. The original fireplaces have been dressed with new tile and period-look iron grate covers. The lighting is vintage, and carefully curated. The beautiful wraparound porch with its unique round turret, has been restored. And the enormous Tigerwood deck overlooking the kidney-shaped pool may be the only thing to lure you away from it. The landscaping is filled with native Georgia plants in just the right places, with fun, flirty newcomers adding life around the pool deck. This house is the very best of both worlds, so close to the lively, fun-filled Square, you'll feel guilty driving there. This is the most beloved street, in the most sought after school district, close to highways, and Kennesaw Mountain, and surrounded by the funnest, liveliest folks you could ever wish for as neighbors. This house is ALL the things! Come see!
