279 Atwood Drive NW

MARIETTA SQUARE This sprawling one-story home is a true ranch with near stepless entry on a large level lot. 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, one half bath indoors, and one half bath outdoors. Just a short stroll or roll to West Side Elementary School, Marietta Middle School (home of Northcutt Stadium and our beloved Marietta Blue Devils), the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and of course, the iconic Marietta Square. This home has been lovingly renovated with a mix of original and newer hardwoods throughout, an open concept kitchen and living space, and two flex spaces that work well for dining, working, wine tasting, or just hanging out. The primary suite is exceptionally large for a home of this age, with two walk-in closets, and an oversized bath, and has a private location fully separated from the other four bedrooms. Three of the secondary bedrooms are quite generously sized, one being the former primary with its own en suite bath and door to one of the backyard decks. The fourth secondary bedroom is quaint, but still nicely sized and doubles as an ideal office space. The secondary full baths were completely renovated in 2022. The primary bedroom, bath and powder room addition were completed in 2016. Outdoors, two large decks overlook a 1960s classic pool with 12 foot depth and a diving board. Plenty of lawn space for badminton or cornhole on the upper rear lawn which also plays host to a newer shed and a charming old school pool bath and equipment room with extra outdoor storage. The lower lawn has a firepit, and a shed with a wraparound deck. New HVAC. New pool pump, filter and tile. Encapsulated crawlspace. Most windows recently replaced. Plus, plenty of parking (you’re gonna need it for all the parties) in the 2 year old driveway that also makes a great space for shooting hoops. The front yard is flat and perfect for a pickup football game. So many memories were made here over generations, and so many Mariettans will readily share that they learned to swim in this pool. It’s simply a wonderful place to call home and is ready to meet its next stewards. Owner is a licensed Realtor in the state of Georgia.
