580 Shannon Drive SW

At last a home hits the market that the queen of soul would approve--it's about R E S P E C T to the original architecture. If you are looking for that same old grey color pallet, those tired vinyl floors and the same thing that every single flip out there has then Dionne Warwick would invite you to walk on by. This home is the marriage of a brick Tudor and a craftsman and has been well loved and maintained over it's lifetime. Step onto the arched front porch to notice a beautiful iron gate and original arched wood front door. Once inside you will find original, real hardwood floors and large fireplace bathed in natural light--really this home gets great light at all times of day. All the original trim, doors and hardware were never painted, and we couldn't bare to do it either. The living room and dining are a scale befitting the era, there is a large butlers pantry with original built in that we styled as a bar lounge area but it could be a breakfast room or even an office space. The kitchen is a pleasing and warm combination of walnut butcher block & green painted cabinets w/ brass accents and view to the backyard. The private spaces are down the hall withall new marble bath and an original celadon green and pink bath reimagined with new fixtures. Don't miss the Wes Anderson attic space accessed from the stairs in the hall. There is also a huge basement, that has 2 bedroom sized spaces and two larger open spaces. Out back is a firepit area, a bar top and a carport. It's all done--the roof, the electrical-- from the street and throughout to the panel box, copper incoming water and pvc going out--this place is solid as a rock. All this within 2 blocks of the beltline and Millican Park with 10 acres of greenspace around the corner. This one is unique and charming in all the right ways--if I do say so myself!
