Home Description
Welcome to Tower Oaks, the grandest Victorian home in Historic Marietta, now offered for sale! This distinguished Italian-style villa, built circa 1882, is the only residence of its kind in the city. With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and impeccable architectural details, this historic estate offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Marietta's rich heritage. The stately entry hall features leaded glass doors and sidelights that fill the space with natural light, illuminating the intricate woodwork and gleaming hardwood floors that extend throughout the home. The main living area boasts a magnificent brick fireplace, one of eight fireplaces in this home. Quarter-sawn oak paneling, egg-and-dart molding, and built-in window seats and bookcases add character and elegance. A striking feature of Tower Oaks is the built-in grandfather clock, seamlessly crafted by Judge Samuel Hale Sibley using repurposed wood and Civil War artifacts, including cannonballs and a bayonet. This unique piece of history reflects the home's timeless grandeur. Pocket doors lead from the living room to the charming parlor, complete with a bay window and inviting window seat. The 13-foot ceilings enhance the sense of space and sophistication. The expansive dining room is ideal for entertaining, with large windows, a stunning canvas frieze capturing Kennesaw Mountain, and a built-in sideboard offering ample storage. The breakfast room connects to the kitchen with a convenient passthrough counter. Nearby, a spacious utility room with a half-bathroom serves as a versatile space for laundry, flower arranging, or storage. Enjoy your morning coffee on the sun porch, surrounded by windows and bathed in natural light. Two spacious bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms with vintage marble sinks are located on the main level. Ascend the solid walnut staircase to the upper floor, where you'll find a dedicated office, three additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a versatile great hall. Two bonus rooms offer the perfect opportunity for a home office, nursery, or extra guest space. Outdoor surroundings are equally impressive. Relax on the wraparound porches and admire the lush boxwoods, vibrant flower gardens, scuppernong arbor, and camellia bushes. The expansive front and back yards are ideal for hosting gatherings or enjoying peaceful evenings. The house has driveway access from both Kennesaw Avenue and Maple Avenue, where the entrance is flanked by a picturesque stone wall. A circular driveway provides ample parking in the back. A massive historic barn features two garage stalls, a large workshop, and a loft for additional storage. Located just blocks from the Historic Marietta Square, 285 Kennesaw Avenue offers convenient access to charming shops, local dining, and cultural attractions. This iconic Italian-style villa is more than just a home - it's a living piece of Marietta's history. Schedule your private tour today and experience the timeless elegance of Tower Oaks!
