Step back in time and become part of Marietta’s rich history as the next owner of 627 N. Saint Marys Lane. This meticulously maintained custom-built home was designed by renowned architect Roy Graham and is situated on nearly 1.18± acres. A key feature of this magnificent property is its tranquil setting with rare direct access to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, including the picturesque Kennesaw Mountain Overlook trail, which borders the back of the property. With more than 20 miles of walking trails, the park not only provides privacy but also endless opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Steeped in heritage and loaded with character, this home boasts custom brickwork sourced from a demolished mill near Marietta Square. Its design was meticulously crafted to embody 19th-century craftsmanship, paying homage to the original owner’s Louisiana roots. From the circular drive, the stately exterior impresses with its lush natural setting. And the front entrance, framed by a double staircase, classic columns and intricate brickwork, sets the tone for what lies within.
