If you admire the history and story an historic home offers, buckle up! This one will make your heart sing! THIS is why you move to Avondale Estates! Located on one of Avondale's most coveted streets, this home is one of the originals in Avondale Estates. Built in 1925, it's a testament to timeless restorations, thoughtful renovations and beautiful additions. You'll be captivated at every turn: beautiful, functional space both inside and out; period-appropriate details; and natural light throughout. The approximately 3,600 square feet of interior space is gracious in what it offers, yet it feels cozy and inviting.
As you approach the home, notice the beautiful Lady Banks Rose climbing across the eaves of the front porch. It invites you to sit and enjoy the breeze, along with a sweet tea and some biscuits. The sprawling front porch, with its original tile floor, lighting, and even wall-mounted mailbox, takes you back in time. And you haven't even entered yet! Once inside, you'll find beautiful, original hardwood floors (these are 99 years old, folks!), large rooms and restoration light fixtures providing a warm, inviting glow. The home offers a remarkable flow and you'll immediately begin imaging the gatherings you could host in this grand, yet cozy home. The primary suite, located on the main level, is an owner's retreat with it's oversized bedroom, gorgeous spa-like bath and french doors leading to a lovely flagstone patio. Entertain with ease with the oversized, eat-in chef's kitchen where you'll find Wolf appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and even heating lights and shelf above the gas cooktop. There's also a warming drawer, so say goodbye to the days of serving cold food to guests because you couldn't get it all ready at the same time. No detail to make entertaining easy has been overlooked; in the adjacent butler pantry/wet bar, you'll appreciate the beautiful cherry cabinetry, ice maker and two refrigerated drawers. The kitchen flows into a light-filled den, making it the heart of this home. Upstairs you'll discover two charming bedrooms and a fourth bedroom suite/apartment waiting to be finished to the next steward's liking (think college graduate apartment, second primary suite, or even two additional bedrooms; there's lots of potential here with it stubbed for a full bath and laundry!).
Multiple outdoor spaces to entertain guests; a garden shed behind the two-car garage; private access to one of the community's pocket parks; and a short stroll to Avondale's assets (dining, shopping, pool/tennis, schools, parks, Tudor Village, Town Green and the Rail Arts District). Discover why Avondale's Historic District is such a special place to call home!
