No one is better able to explain what it is like living at a property than the home owners who have loved living there.
Here are their Top 5 Features You'll Love About This Property.
The kitchen and keeping room combination is the heart of the home. The wood beams in the ceiling and the huge stone fireplace make it a cozy and warm gathering place. The huge island has tons of space to really spread out and work together as a family to prepare meals. The over sized cabinets and walk in butler pantry store all of the kitchen gadgets and seasonal table decorations to make each celebration special.
Another unique feature of this home is that it has two master bedrooms; one on the main floor and one on the upper floor. We felt that if one of our parents ever needed to move in, we would have the perfect set up. Fortunately it was never needed, but the second master offered a lovely surprise for overnight guests to have so much space and privacy!
The backyard faces a large wooded lot offering beautiful views of the trees. The fall colors are amazing! The kids stand in the backyard and wait for a big gust of wind and then try and catch the leaves before they hit the ground. In the winter woods thin out enough to see the neighbors stable and you can watch the horses and donkeys. In spring we plant a huge vegetable garden in the lower yard and enjoy cooking out on the deck. In summer the peach tree puts out so many peaches the branches bend low and almost touch the ground. Lots of fun in the backyard all year round.
The indoor playground is definitely the most fun room in the house! Originally the rubber padded flooring was intended for a gym. Before the gym equipment could move in a slide appeared, then a rock climbing mountain, then a roller coaster, and so on. A bouncy house has even lived here! Despite all of these big items there is still room to run off some of that extra energy. It is adjacent to the basement media room which leads to a lot of cartoon watching interrupted by climbing and jumping. So much fun!
The location really can't be beat as it is convenient to everything. Being right off of Barrett Parkway, Publix and Target are just 2 miles away and 3 miles in the other direction is Whole Foods and a huge mass of other retail stores. It is a straight shot down Barrett Parkway to I-75 making Atlanta easily accessible. The home is conveniently located to shopping, but even closer to the awesome hiking trails of Kennesaw Mountain National Park. The Pigeon Hill entrance to the park and trails is only about 1.5 miles away. The charms of Marietta Square are less than 5 miles away. The home is close to necessities, but still out of the way enough to have a small town feel.
