I promise that you’ll never find another like me...Welcome to LemonWise. Named after the historic Lemon St district of east Marietta & the Wise family, this one-of-a-kind opportunity, less than half a mile off Marietta Square, is ready to be called "home." Hand built by Mr. Wise, estimated in the late 1920's or early 30's, the original house lacked electrical service & running water. Later, in the 1950's, a kitchen & bathroom were added on the back of the house with electricity & plumbing, & finally a laundry room added. Kept in the in family almost 100 years, this special renovation was overseen by structural engineers & the city of Marietta, with a mind on preserving the home’s character & charm. Keeping with the size & architecture in the historic community, this jewel offers unprecedented value & panache. Upon entering through the eight-foot door, adorned by the metal roof, covered front porch, you’ll enjoy the expansive feeling from the nine-foot ceilings on the main level. Catch a glimpse of the ship lapped fireplace area with charming hearth made of reclaimed brick from the original chimney built by Mr. Wise, a mason, as you make your way to the eat-in kitchen. Adorned with decorative lighting and modern, well-lit LED canned lighting, countertop space & cabinet storage are never lacking. Dove tailed drawers & shaker cabinets in an antique white are finished with a natural wood-stained island that seats four to five people, matching the wire brushed, lightly stained oak, wood floors. Dramatic quartz countertops & black graphite sink provide functionality & a charismatic appearance along with the matching tile backsplash. Stainless steel smart gas stove & dual ovens, accented with a black & gold pot filler, along with the smart dishwasher provide convenience while finishing off the unique design of this kitchen. Adjacent, the full bedroom & full bath on main make guests & friends feel right at home. Color drenched 1/2 bath with floral wallpaper, inspired by the stylings of @addisonswonderland, sparkles & delights like no other you have experienced. At the back of the kitchen, the brick floor mudroom with seating & coat hooks leads to the covered back deck & stairs to the level backyard. And lastly, the private in-home office will make telecommuting for work an ideal situation with built in desk and two windows, or space for making music, podcasts, or arts and crafting. Headed upstairs to the living area, more of the dramatic wood floors lead to the linen closet, bedrooms, and laundry room. Since its not anyone’s dream to do laundry, the laundry room was made extra special with a vertical shiplap accent wall complimented by the tiled, & matching cabinets fitted with contrasting gold cabinet handles. Heading into the adjoining bedrooms, ample closet space, extra lighting, ceiling fans & upgraded carpet & padding will win your heart. Settled between the two rooms, the jack & jill bath features double vanity with quartz countertop, ship lapped accent wall, hexagonal floor tiles and subway tiles surrounding the deep tub. Finally, reaching the owner’s suite, get away from it all with windowed sitting area & remote-controlled fireplace, striking accent wall with electrical in place for a wall mounted tv, & upgrades galore. Never be disappointed in your walk-in closets with built in shelving, & then go on vacation at home in the pièce de résistance; your bathroom. The waist height double vanity, drenched in lighting, sits next to the walk-in shower & sitting tub area, with blue tooth enabled fan that can play your favorite songs, podcasts, or keep you up to date with the news. Designer finishes & fixtures await, with a shower system designed with ultimate relaxation in mind, including rain shower head, serviced by the smart, tankless water heater, with endless hot water.
