Property Description
Discover the charm of 96 Polk, a historical treasure located in the vibrant and walkable heart of historic Marietta, just 1 1/2 blocks from Marietta Square! Eligible for two exciting 5% interest programs, this home is a unique blend of the past's allure and modern comforts. The main house boasts 2 expansive bedrooms, a loft area, and a beautifully updated full bath upstairs, with another full bath on the main level. For added flexibility, the basement studio offers a third bedroom and bath with a private entrance, ideal for an in-law or teen suite, guests, or rental income. Original spiral staircase entrance to terrace level in main level hall could be added back in easily! This enchanting residence, originally constructed in 1873 by the Summerour family as a "social season" house, is among the few remaining Victorians in Historic Marietta featuring original doors, millwork, hardware, and even brick pathways. Despite its historic roots, the home is updated with contemporary amenities. The welcoming wrap-around covered front porch invites you to explore this gardener's delight. Step inside to admire the exquisite craftsmanship and details of a bygone era, from high ceilings and original hardwoods to hand-carved millwork. The light-filled main level features an open and airy feel, with a large double fireplace and a cozy window seat adding focal points to the living space. The renovated kitchen, with its exotic marble countertops and eat-in area, leads seamlessly to the back deck-a perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying sunset views, or enjoying the spacious, fenced backyard. Practical details include ample parking for 3-4 cars (not including the driveway) and a gated entrance to the back. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in the stunning Historic Marietta neighborhood, within the desirable West Side Elementary district. Stroll the tree-lined sidewalks where neighbors jog, walk their dogs, or push strollers, and enjoy the thriving amenities of Marietta Square, nearby hiking on Kennesaw Mountain, and quick freeway access. Where else can you find a place where the past and the present get along so well!
