454 Park Avenue SE

Welcome to The Baker House, a meticulous reimagining of a Queen Anne Victorian by neighborhood renovators Balustrade Properties. Originally built in 1906 for J.H. Baker, the historic components of this Park Avenue home have been seamlessly integrated w/ modern stylings and smart conveniences by sought-after home design firm Carl Mattison Design. The front facade has been outfitted with new columns, new railings, restored stained glass transoms & a new period-appropriate gas lantern, all under an authentic tongue-and-groove porch ceiling.Inside, four original decorative fireplaces have been reenvisioned with restored mantels and new tile surrounds. The entry foyer’s pocket doors open directly to a street-facing dining room. Next up is the open-concept living room which transitions directly into a handsomely appointed kitchen w/ dueling dishwashers, an eight-foot island with hidden storage, designer-selected marble countertops, & a custom one-of-a-kind vent hood made from the 115-year-old original trimwork salvaged from the home. The main floor is rounded out with a semi-ensuite guest bedroom, laundry room, electronics closet & newly constructed owner's suite. Just off the kitchen is a new screened porch leading to a deep, fully-fenced backyard. A new switchback staircase carries you upstairs to two more spacious bedrooms, a full bath with double vanity, secondary laundry closet & large open flex room. Off-alley parking for two vehicles on a gravel parking pad at the back of the property can be changed in the future to a 3-car garage or ADU. Best of all, there's MORE than enough room for a future pool! Walk to every restaurant in the neighborhood, & the BeltLine is just a 4-minute bike ride away.
