Built in 1920

Once upon a time in Oakhurst a 1920s cottage stood just steps from the Village. It dreamed of being a home that would adapt to the needs of anyone who lived there and how their needs might change over time, all while staying true to the architectural Craftsmanship features of its roots. The cottage was brought down to the studs in 2024 and impeccably and thoughtfully renovated and redesigned to become this 5-bedroom 5-bathroom Craftsman dream home. A flexible floor plan was designed to suit everyone including two primary suites (one on the main floor), laundry on both levels, several rooms that will adapt from offices to bedrooms to living spaces, and plentiful outdoor living space, all while keeping true to the architectural and historical charm of the neighborhood. Craftsman columns, a brick front rocking chair porch and a Hardiplank exterior welcome you inside a soaring 2-story foyer drenched with natural light. Original leaded glass and four original fireplaces were all preserved, while clear satin-finished white oak hardwoods were installed throughout the entire home. The large chef's kitchen, with its quartz countertops, large brushed brass pendant lights, a gas range with custom hood, stainless steel appliances and abundant soft close custom cabinets, is the clearly focal point and heart of the main floor with a center island that can easily seat six and looks out into several rooms that could serve as a either a keeping room, dining room, or living room/den -- the house wants you to choose what works best for you. The main floor also features one of the two primary suites with original fireplace, complete with stunning ensuite bathroom with floor to ceiling tile, glass shower enclosure, and a double vanity. That bedroom opens to a large deck overlooking the secluded backyard. Across the hall is another bathroom as well as another bedroom that is designed to work for countless other needs -- an office, another living room for that primary bedroom . . . the possibilities are endless. The two story custom staircase in the entrance foyer features classic craftsman lines and frames another original granite fireplace. A soaring 5-foot diameter bronze chandelier rounds out this perfect entryway. Upstairs you will find an another office/den with private balcony, a large laundry area, and two more secondary bedrooms, each with stunning ensuite baths that nod to the architectural style of the home but in clean, modern lines, as well as multiple closets for storage. At the back of the home on the second floor is the main primary suite, designed to be an oasis of calm. The spacious suite opens to a private second story deck overlooking the backyard. Pocket doors open to dual custom closets and an area for changing. Another set of pocket doors then reveals the ensuite primary bath, a true spa-like bathroom designed for tranquility and relaxation. Marble floors, chandeliers, and a soaking tub inside a double shower wet room are all set off by brushed brass fixtures, white quartz counters, and gorgeous amounts of natural light. The outdoor living spaces include over 800 sf more space. Simply, no detail was overlooked. If you have been searching for understated elegance with impeccable finishes in a flexible floor plan with two primary suites . . . and all of this within walking distance of Oakhurst village and public transportation as well as drivable within minutes to Emory, CDC, and downtown Atlanta, come see how this Oakhurst home will be your happily ever after.
