Description
This HILLTOP SHOWPLACE is privately tucked away on an incredible parcel of nearly three acres in the heart of southside Griffin, only minutes from downtown and Third Ward park. Take the private winding drive to reach this picturesque plateau where a 4,000 (+/-) sf architectural gem is poised perfectly to capture a view of the unspoiled scenery from every room (including the unhindered view of the back patio and expansive backyard from the opening of the glass paneled front door). There is a room for everyone in this 4 BR/3.5 bath brick and frame split level built solidly on a basement with space for an additional 5th bedroom or a bonus room of your choosing. Exceptional in size, the Great Room and Dining Room were made for a large family or with entertainment in mind, showcasing the beautiful hardwood floors, beamed and vaulted ceiling, large windows and lodge worthy fireplaces. Both rooms have a breathtaking view of the natural landscape and together provide five French Door sets that open to either a private deck or an extra large and inviting brick patio that is partially covered and gives an outdoor room/firepit feel. The kitchen boasts recently refaced cabinets, stainless steel appliances, new backsplash and granite tops, pine flooring and a sizable opening to the breakfast room. The primary suite occupies the top floor and provides an expanded bath addition with modernized fixtures and a walk-in closet, not typically found in a 1950s mid century home. The suite also includes an additional room that could serve as a home office, private dressing room or as a convenient nursery. The lower level is filled by two additional bedrooms with great closet space, hardwood floors and a remodeled bath. The finished basement is the perfect multi-generational living opportunity and offers a full bath, partial kitchen, space for a bedroom as well as access to its own entrance. The basement has a cabin feel with its original brick flooring, a third fireplace, handcrafted paneling reclaimed from Dundee Mills and a built-in bookcase that spans a full wall. This space could also be the ideal man cave, homeschool room, home theater or playroom. The outside space is surrounded by natures beauty and is accessible by meandering brick walking paths and level open spaces. A bubbling creek runs across the front of this park like setting at the entrance to the driveway. A storage barn, camper parking and potting shed are also available for your convenience. There are lingering stories of a fabulous wedding that was held here in the 1990s. This is truly a delightful, unique, Highland vibes home, that is located in a private setting that wows! Your retreat from the world, yet so close to it all!
