255 Maple Avenue NW, Marietta, GA 30064

Featured in the book "Marietta - The Gem City of Georgia" as well as having been on the Tour of Homes, this well appointed GEM on Maple Ave is quite the catch! More recently this house has become known for its beautiful landscape that could easily win Yard of The Month every month! With the pristine landscape, beautiful addition and upgrades including the stately colonnade to the carriage house w/ 2 car garage, this home is quite the showstopper on one of Marietta’s most beloved streets. Inside is just as spectacular with historical details paired perfectly with updated open living. This 3 bedroom 3 bath home (2 bed/2 bath in the almost 2K sq ft main house with another 600 sq ft 3rd bed and bath, in the carriage house) has been meticulously maintained! From the circular drive you will find the back porch entrance overlooking a stunning terrace with a beautiful brick fireplace. Step inside this amazing home and see the spacious family room with vaulted ceilings with wainscoting & the 2nd of 3 fireplaces. 2 lovely built-in bench seats flank the fireplace giving you a perfect spot to curl up with a good book. The family room is open to the kitchen separated slightly by 2 more beautiful columns and clever architectural details that make this home such a unique and stylish space. The custom built island is the heart of this kitchen w/ glass front cabinets, fabulous molding & lighting inside
as well as under the cabinets. Dining room has built-in bench seating & recessed cabinetry that is a beautiful reminder of the great history of the home and the details of that era. There is also a side porch, the perfect spot to sit and enjoy sunset. Wandering on to the front of the home you will find the formal living room w/ 3rd fireplace & gas logs as well as a built-in bookcase leading to cheery office w/ so many windows, built-in desk & beautiful wood paneling. The primary suite is on the back of the home giving you great privacy, w/ french doors that lead out onto the back porch overlooking the terrace. Private bathroom w/ custom cabinets that will give you a place for everything along w/ a walk in closet. 2nd bedroom on the front of the home adjacent to hall bath which features walk-in shower all updated in classic tiles that will never go out of style! A back hall connects both bedrooms to the laundry room and additional closet space as well as a built-in pantry. Beautifully restored hardwood floors & plantation shutters throughout the main house show how no detail has been overlooked. Just steps from the back porch is the most amazing terrace w/ fireplace and even a second patio area with a large brick outdoor kitchen complete with a gas grill and sink. The mixture of bricks and natural stones give such a warmth and nod to timely elegance rarely found these days. You can access the carriage house from the back terrace or with just a few steps through the colonnade that takes you into the garage and to the staircase leading you to the 3rd bedroom and private bath with great storage. This could be a perfect STR. Garage has room for 2 cars as well as work space. This house is a must see and you will not believe the yard come spring when everything start to bloom. Lots of great flowering bushes make it easy to maintain. So much love and care has been put into this yard, including a sprinkler system. The main house also features a fire sprinkler system, brand new roof, and exterior paint. HVAC and water heaters have been replaced in the last few years so nothing to worry about in this lovely home. Now let’s talk about the location!! Maple Ave is sought after for many reasons, top schools being one, but the holiday orbs turn this street into a winter wonderland. The Halloween parade is a must see! A short stroll to the Marietta Square w/ the fun concerts, festivals, amazing restaurants and shopping. The MTR trail & the Kennesaw Mt Nat'l Park all right in the area. It really doesn’t get any better than 255 Maple Ave!
