Arguably the best street, best location in the neighborhood and what we all love most about Virginia Highland! 1009 Adair Avenue is quite simply beyond adequate description! This is an early craftsman bungalow designed and published by Leila Ross Wilburn in all her glory! Now a fabulous renovation includes all the original details along with a second story expansion which perfectly complements the whole. An exquisite living room occupies the entire front of the house and opens to a gracious dining room with wainscot, plate rail, and wall-to-wall window seating... accommodates seating for 12 without the window seat! Both rooms with coffered ceilings, contemporary recessed lighting, and wrap-around porch with original French doors. Yes, a baby grand would be right at home here! A wide central hall provides the ideal gallery space, opens to a spacious eat-in kitchen and adjoining family room with built-ins and large screen projection. Three porches in total including the wrap around front, plus two off the kitchen. Separate butler's pantry with entertainment refrigerator, second sink, glass front cabinets, still more storage, and a compelling view of a beautiful staircase to the second story. Ceilings are at least 10 ft.; solid wood six panel doors, two fireplaces and dreamy windows with original glass are everywhere! Abundant natural light brightens every room. Original oak and heart pine floors are truly impressive! The gardens come alive in spring, complete with Zoysia lawn!! A generous guest room is on the main level, while a luxurious master suite is upstairs with two very large secondary bedrooms. These two bedrooms enjoy a Jack and Jill bath and separate vanities, separated from the master by a hall for maximum privacy and quiet rest. The laundry is also upstairs. Attic and basement storage are easily accessed, while closets for coats, linens and household utility are right where you need them.
Of course you can walk to dine, sip, shop, or visit any one of a sprinkling of beautiful neighborhood parks! Attend events at our signature Piedmont Park without competing for parking. And the beltline; yes, it's just a few short blocks away, and far enough to be enjoyable without the crowds. 1009 Adair Avenue, your own slice of heaven! Come, tour this gem and see for yourself. No walk-ups...appointments necessary in order to walk the property. Thank you.
