A Midcentury (Manchester) Time Capsule...we don't limit ourselves to only the fabulous Midcentury homes in ATL. We go to where the good-good is, and this time that search for the good-good took us to Manchester GA. You say you don't know where Manchester is? Well, read on my friend bc you will soon find yourself wishing you were already there. Built in 1968 and owned by the same couple for nearly 60 years, this beautiful residence is the textbook definition of pure, unadulterated, classic MCM architecture. Perched at the top of a secluded hill & built into the base of Pine Mountain Ridge, living here feels like living in North Ga Mountain country. Vistas of deep valleys, green pastures, & mountain views cradle the town of Manchester and make for some of the best hikes anywhere in GA. You think you've seen it all before, but this one is different. As you approach the property you notice the handmade zig-zag wooden fence bordering the yard. 624 is the ONLY home on the block & in the Fall & early Spring, you will be rewarded with the most fiery yellow-orange sunset views as the day turns to dark and the mountain ridge in the distance frames the setting sun. Rugged Post & Beam construction, the most *perfect* color of tannish-brown brick, & walls & walls of glass beckon you to park the car, get out, & come inside. THE ENTRY IS TO DIE FOR. Vintage wrought iron double gates open onto solid wooden double doors....opening these doors is like walking into another decade, a better life, & a new experience. A split-level wooden staircase leads you either down into a huge den/rec room with a bar & indoor grill, or up into the living room & the views you've been dreaming for every night as you search IG for your dream home. A full wall of glass, with sliders, draws you thru the living room & out onto the cantilevered deck where you realize you're 20 feet higher than your nearest neaighbor's roofline & you have COMPLETE privacy. It's possible you were so drawn to the views that you missed :: the brick wall punctuating the room which houses the minimalist fireplace, the built-in media cabinet, the new floors, and the *oh so perfectly patinated* vintage grasscloth wallpaper. The dining room, kitchen, and primary bedroom all afford you the exact same gorgeous views. The bathrooms. Not just one, but three & a half original tile baths, each one lovingly preserved: primary bathroom. IT. IS. HUGE. Walk-in shower, soaking tub, double closets, vaulted ceiling, this house had it all, decades before it circled back into style. The primary bath is literally larger than most primary bedrooms. Not even one hand-laid vintage square tile is cracked and not one single piece of grout has been lost. Two downstairs baths are equally perfect & the fixtures shine & gleam like they were installed just yesterday. Nothing cracked, nothing broken. Just pure midcentury design. What about the outside? Just as incredible. 1.5 acres. A covered porch off the kitchen. A full size workshop designed in the most fabulous Southern Gothic vernacular. Native azaleas, Japanese maples, rhododendron, poplar, oak, & ginkgo trees create the most inspiring landscape. The best part...a natural spring bubbles out of the ground and it feeds the most lush & beautiful ferns & ginger root plants that you have even seen. The next door neighbor ( whom you can't see) maintains 8+ acres of forest & tends it like a nature preserve. For 1/3 the cost of a North Ga Mountain retreat, you could own a 3BEDx3.5BATH, 3000+/- SQFT home, located less than 2 hours from ATL. A 12 minute drive to FRD's Little White House. 33 minute drive to Callaway Gardens. 22 minutes or less to the Flint River. 1 hour to Hartsfield Jackson ATL airport. Creeks, springs, hiking trails, and outdoor options all at your fingertips. There are so many details to experience. If you're curious (I know you are), come visit. It will be worth the drive. You will love it.
