About this Home:
Built circa 1928, this beautiful and luxuriously restored Craftsman bungalow is for rent in Kirkwood, just three miles from Emory, four miles from City Center. The entire house has been renovated and includes a gorgeous maple & granite kitchen, large windows, historic lighting, new copper plumbing, gas heat, gas water heater, central air conditioning, extra insulation in the attic, two decorative fireplaces, and black appliances (gas stove). The historic home boasts high ceilings, heavy moldings, oak floors, washer & dryer, beautiful black & white checkerboard Atlanta restored bathroom, and off street parking. The front and back yards are fenced and the backyard features a flagstone patio off the rear deck. The yard has beautiful landscaping: crepe myrtles, hydrangeas, flowering shrubs, and a gorgeous magnolia tree.
The house is located in the historic Kirkwood neighborhood. You can walk to Kirkwood's huge fabulous business district which features restaurants, bars, & shops, hair salons and specialty shoppes. To name a few: Vinocity (and upscale restaurant and wine bar), Le Petite Marche (French eatery and specialty shop), Urban Pie Pizza (best pizza in Atlanta), Ace's Bar & Grill (great sandwiches), Arden's Garden juice shoppe, Takai Atlanta Hair Salon, Gathering Grounds (our great coffee shop), Jasmin Spa, PB & J Gallery (artwork), Augusta Designs (custom jewelry), Mission Motif (great mission furniture and lighting), Gitche Yah Yah (fresh flowers and specialty shop), Kirkwood Feed & Seed (pet supply place with clawfooted tub dog washing stations), Subway, & BP gas station. This commercial and residential development includes 12,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space as well as 23 condos and town homes. The Kirkwood streetscape was recently rejuvenated with the addition of new brick sidewalks, historic street lights, and newly planted flowering trees.
Less that 2 miles away, the Edgewood Retail District features the popular stores Target, Lowe's, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Barnes & Noble, Moe’s Burritos, Office Depot, Kroger, Petco and many specialty shops. The Oakhurst Village business district (about a mile east) also offers a growing variety of restaurants and shops.
Kirkwood was established in 1899 as an affluent streetcar suburb of Atlanta-it was later annexed into the City of Atlanta. The housing stock in Kirkwood consists of Craftsman Bungalows, folk Victorians, American Foursquares and builders are erecting reproduction Bungalows and Craftsman style homes on in-fill lots.
Pets are welcome with no additional pet deposit.

The Southern porch on this house harkens back to a time of neighbors enjoying the evening in their rocking chairs. It features the original columns, railing, and brick piers and the details are picked out with the three color paint scheme designed to be reminiscent of the seashore. The indigo blue and refreshing yellow paint scheme are a welcome sight after a long day of work. Relax on this porch and enjoy the gorgeous landscaping--the hydrangea bush and crepe myrtles in the front yard, conveniently enclosed within a picket fence. |

This luxurious kitchen is perfect for the serious cook or even
those that just appreciate gorgeous finishes. Solid wood maple cabinets,
dark green granite countertops, two large built-in pantries, and
black appliances (gas stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher) appoint
this lovely kitchen. The sink is outfitted with a garbage disposal
and at the entrance of the kitchen, a granite breakfast bar is anchored
by cast-iron scrolled brackets and is the perfect place for bar
stools. Off the kitchen is a laundry closet, with a stackable washer
and dryer inconspicuously tucked into its own space. |

The bedrooms are airy and bright, thanks to the abundance of windows. The front bedroom is the larger of the two and features a large closet, another decorative brick fireplace, and views of the large, picket-fenced front yard. There is additional storage in the attic and the pull-down stairs are located in this room. The rear bedroom (at left) also features a very deep closet, lots of light, privacy, and a period lighting fixture. |

Like the rest of the house, much attention has been paid to the historic bath. Tiled in classic Atlanta black & white tile, the bath retains its original medicine cabinet and wall mount sink. Period style faucets have been added to both the sink and the shower, along with beaded board and chair rail. The bathroom has been fully remodeled. |

The back French door of the kitchen opens onto a Zen-style deck, which then segues into a gorgeous flagstone patio in the large fenced yard. The backyard boasts a lovely, very established Southern magnolia tree that perfumes the early summer air with the sweet smell of lemons.Warren Street is a beautiful street in Kirkwood and has long term established neighbors. |

The antique floors of 166 Warren Street are original oak floors and have been professionally refinished. Adding to the charm of this 1928 original are the period details that the house retains: an original Craftsman front door (at left), antique door hardware, refinished and rewired antique fixtures, and substantial original woodwork. |
