Description

Finally! An opportunity to make 185 Elizabeth Street yours! This 1896 landmark property is one of Inman Park's (and, thus, Atlanta's) earliest homes and has been lovingly maintained and updated over the years to preserve and enhance its historic character. Set perfectly at the crest of Elizabeth on over a half-acre in the center of the neighborhood, this Victorian 5-bedroom 3.5-bath home has nearly 5,000 square feet of conditioned space and a perfect floor plan that blends charm with convenience. An unrivaled double wrap-around front porch is just steps above the wide and level front yard. A vestibule leads you into a grand foyer with parquet floors, antique Italian sconces, a grand staircase, and a Czech Bohemian crystal chandelier. Beyond the foyer is a huge living room with coved ceilings, a working fireplace, and a custom dry bar. Additional features of this level include a large corner study, a den or formal sitting room, a library, a wine cellar, and a secluded powder room. The gourmet kitchen is perfect for entertaining and has a Viking range, a large island that can fit four comfortably, a banquet area, a pantry, and a beautiful view overlooking the stunning back yard. The sizable dining room and kitchen both open out to the rear deck. The 2nd floor offers a beautiful central hall and stair landing and a large primary suite with a double walk-in closet and spa bath. Two sizable secondary bedrooms, an updated secondary bath, a sunny laundry room, and a covered front balcony complete this level. The third floor has two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an additional lounge area. There are operational fireplaces in the living room, parlor, and two bedrooms upstairs, and a total of nine fireplaces throughout the house. Outside, the nearly .6-acre lot means you have room for a huge garage/carport, and privacy from your neighbors. The deck and patio overlook a turfed sport court area, and the larger rear back yard of the lot is a part of the famed "hollow" - a French cul-de-sac of green space. Soaring ceilings, nine fireplaces, pocket doors, heart pine floors, beautiful intact Victorian architecture and finishes. Skyline views in the front, and dark wooded views at the rear. This grand home offers the best of both worlds and is just steps from Inman Park Village, Krog Market, Freedom Park, and the Eastside Beltline Trail.
