1585 Blackwell Road, Marietta, GA 30066 (MLS # 7648821)
You've finally found the perfect rocking chair front porch! Welcome home to your historic Marietta farmhouse on almost 2 acres of useable land with a LAKEVIEW! Three different outdoor spaces to enjoy - large front porch with swing and plenty of space for multiple rocking chairs, side deck with FULLY FENCED in yard, and your large oversized screened in back porch with scenery of rolling hills and the lake. Sip your morning coffee and relax to the sounds of nature - birds chirping merrily, crickets humming good morning, with visits from the occasional hummingbird and butterfly. In the evenings, be inspired with a light show from the fireflies. Live out your farmhouse dreams while still being close to everything - restaurants, shopping, grocery stores - it's all right here! Just minutes from multiple accesses to I-75 and I-575, Chastain Road, Barrett Parkway, and only a 10-12 minute drive to Kennesaw State University main campus. This home truly has it all - owner's suite on main with large sitting room, guest bedroom on main with full bath, gleaming hardwood floors throughout, recently painted interior, brand new windows installed 3 three years ago throughout, all systems maintained and in healthy condition. Brand new water heater installed earlier this year. Property lines go up to the shore of the lake and the acreage is surrounded by Heritage Farms neighborhood which has a walking trail to the lake so you can experience it up close. Lake can be enjoyed from multiple locations inside the home as well, including the eat-in-kitchen room as well as the bonus recreation room. Back section of property connects to cul-de-sac inside Heritage Farms - have confirmed with county and HOA that it could be subdivided and sold if desired to build a second home in the neighborhood. Or, keep all your acreage to use as a wonderful backdrop of greenery, for your enjoyment. Own this home and become a part of the prestigious unofficial "Blackwell Road" club, with all it's perks it has to offer including wonderfully friendly neighbors- you'll find many of them out and about using the many sidewalks throughout the day which can take you to scenery like two nearby horse farms as well as little libraries, one of which is next door. Not to mention the pure historic value that you'll be a part of - the original home of the Mack Dobbs family! The current owners have loved every minute of being in this home, they just need to move closer to family which is why they are letting it go. Home has been lovingly cared for and all it needs now is YOU!
