Located at 219 Springdale Drive NE in Atlanta, Georgia this home is the ideal setting for someone who loves city living and truly desires to experience Atlanta right from the very heart of the city. If bicycling to breakfast on Saturday morning, walking to Publix to grab tonight’s dinner or walking to Marta, where you can go anywhere, appeals to you, then a happy life is what you’d have if you lived in Peachtree Hills.
Built in 1946, this house is a classic Atlanta home and offers a certain feeling to those who reside in houses like this one. It is a deep, rich history that as settled into the bones of these houses and hangs from the century-old treetops that line the streets. It doesn’t matter how much remodeling takes place, the presence of history cannot be painted over.
The fireside front living room has an intriguing charm that conjures up curiosity. Exactly who has sat around that hearth during the 1950s? What was talked about during the 60s? What style of parties were hosted there when the living room was an important space in a home rather than a modern-day design protocol. An intimate dining room offers the exact amount of space for a proper formal dining table.
The kitchen sits off of the foyer hallway as it continues through the house. Gorgeous updates have noticeably replenished this space with granite counters, second prep sink, wine bar, tiled back splash and modern lighting fixtures. Farther back is the family room, which is tucked away and private, something you don’t see in contemporary floor plans.
The upper deck space is very unique in that it is partitioned into sundeck, screened-in porch and grilling zone, offering a variety of ways to experience urban city life from the comfort of your own home. The backyard below depicts the various eras it has grown through. Towering magnolias shade a mossy, cobblestone sitting area back in the depths of the yard among the foliage, a common amenity of homes from that period. Sitting out in the yard was often preferred over sitting close to the house, and a privacy fence meant neatly trimmed boxed hedges that only kept the dogs and children in, not the neighbors out.
The master bedroom includes another fireplace and another element of early 20th-century architecture that was adopted from European style—a Juliet balcony. The master bath features a glass block design element, deluxe shower, soaking tub and upscale tile flooring.
Finally, the finished terrace level offers a unique special experience with multiple rooms that have been nicely remodeled and feature such upgrades as travertine tile flooring, exposed brick wall, updated bath and wainscot wall treatments.
A modern trend in real estate had do-it-yourselfers buying rundown homes in old neighborhoods where the real estate was affordable and the houses had potential. It takes a certain type of individual to see that potential and enjoy living in a restored neighborhood in or near the inner city. If this lifestyle sounds exciting to you, then you are one of these people. What once was old can be new again, as is proven at the Peachtree Hills residence located at 219 Springdale Drive NE in Atlanta, Georgia.
