For added flexibility, the basement studio offers a third bedroom and bath with a private entrance, ideal for an in-law or teen suite, guests, or rental income. Original spiral staircase entrance to terrace level in main level hall could be added back in easily! This enchanting residence, originally constructed in 1873 by the Summerour family as a "social season" house, is among the few remaining Victorians in Historic Marietta featuring original doors, millwork, hardware, and even brick pathways. Despite its historic roots, the home is updated with contemporary amenities. The welcoming wrap-around covered front porch invites you to explore this gardener's delight.

Practical details include ample parking for 3-4 cars (not including the driveway) and a gated entrance to the back. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in the stunning Historic Marietta neighborhood, within the desirable West Side Elementary district. Stroll the tree-lined sidewalks where neighbors jog, walk their dogs, or push strollers, and enjoy the thriving amenities of Marietta Square, nearby hiking on Kennesaw Mountain, and quick freeway access. Where else can you find a place where the past and the present get along so well!
