From the outside, 1115 E Rock Springs Road NE in Atlanta, Georgia retains all of the charm of a Mid-Century, all-brick Tudor-style home. The interior, however, has been transformed into a modern farmhouse style. The contrast is not only striking but infinitely appealing to all tastes.
The mature foliage and expert landscape architecture are perfect in every detail, even down to the lush ivy covering the lower exterior wall next to the driveway. An old-fashioned concrete walkway leads through the varietal greenery to the front stair. Next to the front door is a brick-enclosed screened porch – one of the best places to spend a lazy summer afternoon. Wrought iron railings set against meticulous masonry embellish both the front stair entrance and the stairs from the screened porch leading into the front gardens.
Once inside, guests may experience the living room featuring the original brick fireplace, the high ceilings and the beautifully refinished hardwood floors, which are present throughout the entire home. The fireplace is shared with the great room on the other side of the living room. The dining room transitions easily into the kitchen, and from here, easily move into the fireside great room and to the aforementioned screened porch.
Though a remarkable amount of attention was paid to keeping as much of the original design intact, the kitchen was renovated with contemporary flair – here, find custom cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, as well as a stainless steel central island. A painted wood-beamed ceiling, recessed lighting and beadboard backsplash add an antique touch to the kitchen’s modern design.
With 2,400+/- square feet, this home contains two bedrooms and two updated bathrooms, as well as a bonus room ideal for a home office, design studio or hobby nook. The most efficient use of the land has been applied as well, as the home provides ample backyard space in addition to the front gardens. The rear grounds contain a large back deck with a rock retaining wall. The rock wall continues around to the rear of the patio to form two semi-circular walls which can be used for seating around a rock fire pit.
The driveway proceeds past the side of the home to culminate in a large parking pad in the rear. A small storage shed is located at the very rear of the yard beyond a flat grassy area, and the grounds are embellished by mature shrubbery reminiscent of French palace gardens.
The Morningside neighborhood is located in the northern portion of Midtown, Atlanta and is convenient to Intown neighborhoods, including Virginia-Highland, Ansley Park and the Emory University corridor. This home is only minutes from Downtown, Atlanta and is close to Piedmont Park and Atlanta Botanical Garden.
