A grand sweeping staircase welcomes you to the expansive wraparound piazza and main entrance. Inside, hardwood floors flow through the dramatic 18 foot foyer, where oversized openings lead to a spacious formal living room on the left and a formal dining room on the right. The home is filled with historic charm, including four antique, non-operational fireplaces sourced from the Historic Glover Home.

The eat in kitchen also offers direct access to the piazza, creating an ideal layout for entertaining and everyday living. The main level includes two bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms, while upstairs features two enormous additional bedrooms connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom.

Combined with soaring 10.5 foot basement ceilings, the home offers an incredible sense of openness and scale throughout all three levels.The huge full basement is partially finished and offers endless possibilities, including the opportunity to easily add additional bedrooms, recreation spaces, and a home gym. A basement boat door provides added convenience and functionality. Built by the great great grandson of Marietta’s first mayor, this one of a kind property blends local history, architectural presence, and exceptional potential in one of Marietta’s most sought after locations, just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and charm of Historic Marietta Square.
