486 Church St

Marietta, GA 30060

Just a short stroll from the vibrant energy of Historic Marietta Square, this fully renovated 1917 residence offers a rare balance of in-town convenience and complete privacy, unfolding across an acre one of the most generous, flat lots along coveted Church Street. From the moment you arrive, the property reveals itself as a true garden sanctuary. Meandering brick pathways guide you through six distinct botanical spaces, where mature magnolias whisper overhead and curated plantings create layers of color, texture, and seasonal beauty. A central fountain anchors the landscape, while hand-hewn rock walls, draping wisteria, and climbing honeysuckle lend an unmistakable sense of romance. Tucked discreetly beneath the canopy, a hidden cabana with louvered cedar walls offers a peaceful retreat, private, quiet, and entirely your own. The home itself flows effortlessly between indoors and out, designed for both intimate living and exceptional entertaining. French doors open wide to a shaded veranda, allowing gatherings to spill naturally into the gardens, where the soft sound of water and filtered light through the trees create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and inviting. Whether hosting an elegant evening under the stars or a relaxed afternoon with friends, every space is connected, intentional, and beautifully livable. Inside, historic character and modern comfort are seamlessly intertwined. Over 150-year-old heart pine floors, reclaimed wood accents, and original moldings tell a story of craftsmanship and time; while soaring ten-foot ceilings and curated lighting add volume and warmth. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, the home blends its original integrity with elevated, modern functionality. The kitchen is equipped with Viking and Sub-Zero appliances that serves as the heart of the home, perfectly positioned with garden views and designed to support both everyday living and larger-scale entertaining. The main-level primary suite offers a private escape, with spa-like features including a dual shower that opens to tranquil garden views, bringing the outside in with a sense of calm and retreat. Within the main house, two additional bedrooms are complemented by an oversized, well-appointed bath, offering both comfort and flexibility for family or guests. Beyond the main residence, a charming carriage house apartment provides ideal accommodations for guests or extended stays, while winding paths lead to raised garden beds and a tucked-away gate further enhancing the sense of privacy and possibility. Here, just moments from the Square yet worlds away in feel, gardens, architecture, and lifestyle converge creating a setting that is not only beautiful, but truly unforgettable.
