Welcome to 96 Polk, a remarkable historical gem nestled in the heart of historic Marietta, and just two blocks to Marietta Square! The main house features 2 spacious bedrooms, a loft area and an updated full bath upstairs, and a full updated bath on the main level. A basement studio with a separate private entrance houses the third bedroom and bath--this versatile space is perfect for an in-law or teen suite, guests, a home office or rental income. Originally built in 1873 by the Summerour family from Louisiana as a "social season" house, this captivating home effortlessly blends the allure of its storied past with modern comforts, making it a truly unique residence. It's one of the few Victorians left in Historic Marietta with all original doors, millwork, hardware--even brick pathways. But don't let the period details fool you - this home has been fully updated with modern amenities. The moment you set foot on the inviting wrap-around covered front porch (the charming front and side yard are a gardener's dream), you'll be struck by the remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail that define this residence. Step inside and note the details of a bygone era, where high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and hand carved millwork greet you, but the open and airy light-filled main level will appeal to your modern sensibilities. A large double fireplace is one of the focal points of the main living space, as is the large window seat. The renovated kitchen has exotic marble countertops and an eat-in area, and leads to the back deck, where you can entertain guests, unwind and enjoy sunset views, or immerse yourself in the lush greenery of the large, fenced backyard. The main house features two spacious bedrooms and a full bath on the 2nd level, separated by a loft/sitting area and a full bath on the main floor; There is also ample parking for 3-4 cars and a gated entrance to the back. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history that has been lovingly cared for and restored to its former glory. Located in the spectacular Historic Marietta neighborhood and sought-after West Side Elementary district-- enjoy the neighborhood's tree lined sidewalks (where your neighbors are often jogging, walking their dogs or pushing a stroller), walk to the restaurants, shopping, coffee shops and other amenities at Marietta Square, hike nearby Kennesaw Mountain, and jump on the freeway in 5 minutes!
