Porch
This typical Southern front porch was inspired by detail-rich Victorian homes, and uses color to show off the architectural accents. The blue gingerbread was custom cut with a jigsaw, based on an authentic piece that we salvaged. The new front porch features classic decorative Eastlake Victorian handrails milled on site, octagonal cedar shingles in the gables, and reclaimed Victorian porch brackets supporting the eaves. The custom-designed stained glass transom over the large window in the living room features the home's address numbers. The front door is a lovely restored Victorian piece inset with beveled glass. This is a porch where you can imagine kicking up your feet in a swing and enjoying the streetscape and a cold beverage.

Living Room
The living room is a large airy space featuring a gorgeous opulently carved Victorian heart of pine mantel with colorful glazed antique fireplace tiles. High ceilings, oak floors, the stained glass transom, and original restored doors will make visitors say "wow!" The antique front door features beveled glass and a reproduction doorbell. The stunning moldings are indicative of the Victorian era: restored antique crown moldings grace the ceilings and antique fancy fluted casings and rosettes make every door and window a cause for celebration.

Dining Room
The living room flows effortless into the dining room. This entertainment space is the largest room in the house. It features an original restored heart of pine mantel, original 2 over 2 window, oak floors, restored antique chandelier, and fluted casing and bulls eyes. High wood wainscoting graces the walls. The dining room opens onto the stunning custom kitchen allowing for easy entertaining and providing the chef with social inclusion during gatherings. The dining room also has a rare but very convenient utility closet for storing coats, vacuum cleaners, or anything else that needs to be tucked away.

Kitchen
This gourmet custom kitchen tips its hat to a century past with the heart of pine cabinets milled from reclaimed structural beams, and re-purposed antique heart of pine porch columns used as legs for the breakfast bar. However, this kitchen is rich with the amenities and luxuries of a modern chef’s kitchen. The cabinets are topped with lustrous verde butterfly granite and a tumbled jungle green marble backsplash. Boasting high-end features such as flush inset doors, an undermount sink, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large pantry cabinet, this kitchen reflects attention to minute detail. Antique style clasps hearken back to a farmhouse kitchen and a restored French door opens out onto a large entertainment deck and a lovely private backyard with fruit trees.

Public Bathroom
This classic, dramatic black and white bathroom features a reclaimed stained glass transom, antique oak flooring, an antique medicine cabinet, and period style plumbing fixtures. The shower walls are a beautiful pattern of subway tile and black and white checkerboard, evocative of old Atlanta. The shower floor is tiled in a black and white marble checkerboard mosaic. The dusky historic blue paint in this room makes the monochromatic tile pop.

Front Bedroom
This large, sunny bedroom peers out on the cottage garden through an originally located diamond shaped Queen Anne window. When we purchased the house the glass was missing, so we commissioned our stained glass artist to create a new piece for the space. Gorgeously restored 6 panel doors with antique door hardware, a restored mantel with crackled antique fireplace tiles and cast iron surround, and refinished oak floors are some of the features of the bedroom. This bedroom also has a rare feature for a vintage house: double closets!

Master Suite
This large private suite is tucked off the rear of the house and is outfitted with an ornate heart of pine mantel with carved Corinthian columns, antique crackle fireplace tile, and a curved cast iron surround. Like the rest of the house, the master has beautiful antique crown molding, dramatic window and door moldings, and oak floors.

Deck & Backyard
Through the restored French door off the rear of the kitchen is a perfectly sized brand new entertainment deck with wonderful views of the backyard. We’ve installed gutters over the deck to shed water away from it. The deck adjoins the backyard by original brick stairs. This lovely backyard features three edible mature fruit trees: a fig tree, a golden delicious apple tree, and a pecan tree. The custom built fence in the backyard is a classic design with heavy-duty gates to secure your dogs in the yard.

Garage
A rare commodity in turn of the century neighborhoods, this home features a two car garage with Victorian styling and a concrete floors, and glass windows. We have restored the garage by installing a new roof and trimming it out with Victorian shingles to meld it to the style of the main house.
