Property Description

This distinguished home, designed by renowned Griffin architect Gerald Bilbro in 1951, stands on the most prestigious street in Griffin, surrounded by historic homes crafted by notable Atlanta architects such as Ivey and Crook, Neel Reid, and Leila Ross Wilburn. Set back on a shady, mature lot with professional landscaping, the residence boasts a circular driveway and a stately Roman Classical facade, marked by a signature four-columned portico that warmly welcomes visitors. Inside, the home exudes timeless elegance with tall ceilings, hardwood floors, custom drapes and window treatments, and classical architectural details throughout. The entry foyer leads to a formal living room featuring a striking black marble-front fireplace. The formal dining room accommodates up to 12 guests and is perfect for entertaining. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers direct access to both a side deck for alfresco dining and the carport, along with a convenient laundry area. The bedroom wing is thoughtfully designed, featuring ample closets, a large master bedroom, and two additional well-sized bedrooms, all served by two full baths. A central hall leads to a grand 1980s addition, designed by celebrated Columbus architect Ed Neal. This space features a third full bath and a custom wet bar with rich cherry cabinetry. Most impressive is the expansive Great Room, where soaring ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace create a striking focal point. Natural light pours in through a massive Palladian window and French doors that frame stunning views and provide access to the formal garden. Prominent classical woodwork and detailing, a tasteful brass chandelier, plantation shutters, custom drapes, and hardwood floors complete this room. Out back, a central brick staircase built into curvilinear brick retaining walls, lead down to a brick path into the woodland garden, under the magnificent Beech tree, to the Victorian gazebo, known as The Folly, built from historic remnants of Griffin's past. A stone path follows the back contours of the garden. Established Centipede grass lawn. This home perfectly blends classical charm with Griffin's history, along with modern amenities, offering a refined living experience in one of Griffin's most coveted locations. Like-new architectural shingle roof.
