Amazing one-of-a-kind home in the historic Midtown Garden District - an oasis surrounded by a zen-like garden in the front, a private patio plus a balcony on the side, and a lush courtyard in back. The main house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus the carriage house has another bedroom and one and a half bathrooms. Soaring ceiling and large Pella Architect Series Windows provide lots of natural light. Hardwood floors throughout. The wonderfully huge eat-in kitchen has extra-thick granite counters and an enormous island. Appliances include a counter depth SubZero refrigerator, Wolf double ovens and Wolf gas range and wok cooker, Bosch dishwasher, Zephyr vent hood, Vinotemp wine fridge, and instant hot water dispenser. There is a tremendous amount of cabinet space, plus direct access to the rear deck overlooking a brick courtyard. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level. The primary bedroom suite occupies the entire upper level. The upstairs landing has space for an office nook or sitting area, plus access to the laundry room with a sink. The loft-like main bedroom upstairs can be closed off with a sliding wall. There are soaring ceilings in the main bedroom with views down to the lush courtyard and koi pond, plus two walk-in closets. The main bathroom has a walk-in shower, a separate soaking tub, double vanity and a heated towel rack. The finished terrace level is heated/air-conditioned and has space for a home office or gym or could be a home theater or wine cellar and could easily be converted back to garage space. The main house is triple-zoned for each level. The separate 2-story carriage house can be accessed either through the courtyard or directly from the street. The bedroom, kitchen, and full bath are on the courtyard level and the half bath and living area on the street level, with the two connected by a spiral staircase. The kitchen includes a full-size stove with gas cooktop plus a refrigerator with freezer and a dishwasher. There is also a washer and dryer in the carriage house, and it's a great rental option. Sellers leased for 3K for short terms and 2K for a year or longer term. There is off-street parking for one car in the driveway, but you may find yourself leaving the car with such a short walk or bike ride to Piedmont Park, the Beltline, MARTA, and all of Midtown‘s great restaurants, shopping, and cultural institutions. The property will be in the new Virginia Highland Elementary School zone when it opens in the fall.
