A once traditional bungalow in Midtown's Garden District is now a landmark on the block. Past and present owners have converted the residence into a modern, open, light-filled space. Step onto the property through a Zen-like garden with carefully placed plantings, stone pavers and a gurgling pond, into the home through a sunny glassed-in foyer with two stories of windows. You'll immediately feel a "wow factor" as you notice the juxtaposition of clean lines and contemporary lighting with the original hardwoods and fireplace. While the living room and office at the front of the home draw light from the walls of windows, the dining room and kitchen get their sparkle from multiple skylights in the rear of the house. The bright and efficiently-designed kitchen offers a cute eating nook, and its sliding glass door opens to a huge back deck where the current owners created enough space for a large dining table, seating area, gas grill and potted garden beds. There are two large bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level, and two additional bedrooms and one full bathroom on the terrace level. The downstairs offers so much flexibility for the space: guests, work-from-home, playroom, teen hangout or even Airbnb. There is direct access onto a covered patio and into the terraced, turfed and fenced backyard. It's easy to get comfortable in this cheerful and welcoming house, but of course you've got the attractions of vibrant Midtown to go explore: a grid of historic homes and gardens on the beautiful tree-lined streets, Piedmont Park a few blocks away and numerous eateries and The Fox Theatre just a short distance away.
