Introducing "Marietta Square's Enchanted Garden Cottage". This historic section of South Avenue formally known as Venable and Harrison situated in the Renaissance section of Marietta was originally built in 1942 as Bell Bomber Bungalows to meet housing needs for the workers at the airplane factory. Current owner purchased this amazing property in 2006 with a vision of enhancing the interior spaces and creating a magical garden oasis. In 2008-2009 Harris Fritz Architects assisted to seamlessly blend the old with the new, keeping the original charm and character, yet adding functionality to the house. They added a primary bedroom with lots of light and screened porch access, spacious walk -in closet with laundry and a separate owner's bathroom. The original 2nd bedroom was opened on one side to create a wonderful office or nursery adjacent to the primary bedroom ( still has a window and closet) The kitchen was expanded with a large pantry and leads to a fabulous screened in porch. NEW ROOF ON THE HOUSE AND THE SHED . Plumbing, electrical and windows have been updated. Open the gate and and follow meandering pebble pathways past blueberry bushes and fig trees. Enjoy your morning coffee on the screened porch gazing at your calming, cool backyard. The paver patio in front of the shed is surrounded by mature shade trees. Imagine the possibilities...the backyard shed has electricity... Gardening , storage or with a few changes, an extra separate office detached from the main house. The charming side porch, shaded with a vintage awning, is a perfect spot for welcoming your visitors with a refreshing glass of sweet tea! Walk to Marietta Square for the Saturday farmers market, great restaurants, festivals, art galleries and shopping. This is a very special property , charming and unique, offering the lifestyle that you have been searching for- be prepared to LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE !
