118 Waverly Way

Welcome to 118 Waverly Way - a rare opportunity to own one of only 50 grand-scale early 20th-century homes built in Inman Park - AtlantaCOs most architecturally significant neighborhood. The city's first planned suburb, the subdivision of Inman Park was intended to provide its residents with a refined place to live in a park-like setting. This home was constructed in 1909 by Harold Hirsch, legal counsel to the Coca-Cola Company, and was later renovated under supervision from renowned Atlanta architect, Neel Reid. Set perfectly above one of the neighborhood's most prominent corners, the home looks out over the Olmsted designed Springvale Park. Nearly 4/10 of an acre with 100 feet of park frontage, the lot offers forested views and plenty of elbow room from neighbors. A large side yard has plenty of room for a pool and the rear of the home is suitable for addition of an electronic gate and a garage. Mature trees and a freshly installed lawn frame the expansive tongue and groove front porch. Walk through the stained glass adorned vestibule and step into one of the largest living rooms youCOve seen. Soaring ceilings, intricate millwork and original fireplaces greet you right away while the original pocket doors remain tucked away and the homeCOs hardwood floors are hidden beneath the current flooring, waiting to be re-discovered. In the original section of the main floor, youCOll also find a large parlor, a truly banquet-sized dining room, and a light-filled foyer at the base of the grand open staircase. The rear addition on the main includes a large kitchen, butlerCOs pantry, walk-in pantry, laundry area, guest bath, utility/mud room area, and a sunroom or private in-law suite with its own exterior entrance. On the 2nd level, two grand bedrooms overlook the park and share a bath. An owner's suite with walk-through closet, ensuite bath, and sunroom awaits a fresh renovation to combine the ample spaces into a grand suite. A lofted area is suitable for kids or conversion into a laundry room. The open oaken staircase takes you to the upper level and a huge, light-filled rec/family room with vaulted ceilings, skylights, wet bar, and large bedroom and spa bathroom complete with a steam shower and jetted soaking tub. This home and its location and setting are truly special and just steps from the Atlanta Eastside BeltLine Trail, Krog Street Market, Springvale Park, Freedom Park, and Inman Park Village. Put on your designer hat and come see the possibilities of how you can make this landmark home your own!
