With the charm of old downtown Woodstock, you don’t want to miss this spacious and meticulously kept house at 252 Fowler Street. This beautiful home is situated on a premium lot, walking distance to the pool and parks, with professional landscaping and a level side driveway. This European style house packs a punch on the distinctive scale: four sides of brick, a cedar shake roof, hewn beam detailed windows and dramatic solid doors! Even the garage, hardiplank siding, has boasting rights- deep enough to hold four cars!
The elegant dining room flanks the foyer to the left side with floor to ceiling windows, crown molding and even has a lighted inset bay for a chest: perfect for storing your china. On the right side of the foyer there is a distinctive room with painted paneling, a large floor to ceiling window, a closet and full bathroom which makes this room a perfect study or fifth bedroom.
The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and custom espresso cabinetry complimented by an alabaster breakfast island with built-ins that house a microwave and dishwasher. A Viking dual fuel range and commercial hood is certainly a curtain call for all chefs, or want to be chefs! The rich hardwood floors, the deep baseboards and the exposed ceiling beams continue to give this home a warm cozy feeling your family and friends will cherish.
The family room can be viewed from the kitchen and provides a soothing place to unwind. The built-ins around the fireplace feature drawers designed for media and a cabinet for a TV. The tongue and groove detail above the mantle is pre-wired for a flat screen TV if desired. The exposed beam ceiling along with the recessed lighting compels folks to gather around the masonry fireplace for chatting or enjoying a movie night together.
Just off the family room is a flexible space currently being used as a sitting room that overlooks the patio. The room, with the tongue and groove ceiling, would also make for a sunny breakfast room. Adjacent to this area is a bright laundry room customized with cabinets, a folding area, and cable TV! Even this room is bright and cheerful and features a long expanse of cherry countertop that is excellent for folding. The short stairway nearby , of just six steps, leads to the master suite on a floor of its own.
The handsome master suite has a long list of features: a sitting area, French doors to the private balcony overlooking a very private backyard, an incredible oversized closet, and even a bright exercise room! Pocket doors for privacy lead you into the master bath where you will find built in cabinets, large double vanity and a luxurious old fashion claw footed soaking tub.
Located atop a separate stairway in the home, the additional three secondary bedrooms all have direct access to updated baths, deep closets and bright windows; all in soothing colors. Serving this floor is a separate bonus room that can function as a “teen room” or media space.
You won’t want to plan on spending all your time inside though! This home is located in a “Work,Live,Play” community suited to living a fabulous green lifestyle. Come home from work and meander through the neighborhood on jogging paths that are dog friendly. Spend early evening hours at the neighborhood playground. Spend summer weekends around the pool or Spring evenings around the community fire pit. Or walk to the city park for free concerts at night, great Mexican food at PURE Taqueria, live music at several spots, or pick a destination to relax at the nearby hot yoga studio. Downtown Woodstock with sidewalks and bike trails; this is small town life the way it is meant to be, yet only 30 minutes from Metro Atlanta and 5 minutes off I-75 North. Discover Woodstock Downtown!
