Thoughtfully Updated 1951 Brick Ranch in the Heart of Historic Marietta.
Welcome home to timeless charm and modern comfort just a short stroll from the lively Historic Marietta Square. Nestled in the sought-after Whitlock Avenue Historic District, this beautifully updated 1951 brick ranch sits on a full basement and offers the kind of lifestyle that’s getting harder and harder to find—walkable, vibrant, and full of character.
On the main level, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, each updated with care to preserve the home’s original charm while offering the comfort and functionality of today. The chef’s kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry with pull out cabinet drawers, thoughtful design, and space for gathering with friends or family.
Downstairs, a fully equipped studio apartment with its own kitchen and full bath offers endless possibilities—multi-generational living, an income-producing AirBnB or long-term rental, or even the perfect work-from-home space with separate exterior access so clients or guests never need to enter the main home.
Step out back and you’ll find a peaceful, private retreat. A fountain trickles in the background while a fire pit invites cozy evenings under the stars. In the spring, the yard bursts into color with blooming azaleas—truly a sight to behold.
And the best part? You’re just minutes from award-winning restaurants like the Michelin-starred Spring, local breweries, museums, galleries, and the historic Strand Theater. Stroll to the weekly farmers market, take in live music on the Square, or explore Kennesaw Mountain’s trails just a short drive away. With sought after Marietta City Schools, quick access to I-75, and all the charm of a tight-knit, historic neighborhood where people know their neighbors, this home offers the best of both worlds—small-town walkability with big-city convenience.
These are not your typical updates. There’s no trendy white-on-white here—just authentic craftsmanship, timeless finishes, and a deep respect for the soul of the home. Whether you’re looking for a forever home, a smart investment, or a unique live/work setup, this one checks all the boxes.
Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Marietta history—schedule your private tour today.
