Rare opportunity to own the Palmour House, one of College Park’s original homes, built in 1892 for a prominent dentist who later founded what became Emory Dental School. This stunning brick home, a perfect example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture, has only changed hands four times, with the current owners completing a meticulous, top-to-bottom renovation. This home has been configured and used as a single-family residence for the last 10 years. It has also commercial zoning (Transit Oriented Development "TOD", Division 16). It has operated as a large law office and would be great for office, retail, special event space, bed and breakfast, restaurant etc. Soaring 12-foot ceilings enhance the natural light streaming through bay windows and exquisite stained and beveled glass. Every room is rich with period details, from 12 unique fireplaces to intricate plaster ceiling designs, original and replica light fixtures, and hand-carved millwork. Exterior design highlights include a rocking chair front porch with gingerbread wooden scroll work and new cypress floors; patterned slate roof, granite lintels and foundation; double hung windows; decorative friezes; a grand domed turret; and high-peaked gables.The home seamlessly integrates the period feeling with a modern sensibility. The expansive foyer features stunning ceiling detail and an original wooden decorative trellis. The library/living room is another main level highlight complete with built-in bookshelves, tin ceiling and intricately carved fireplace mantel. There is also a beautiful office adjacent to the foyer with built-ins and floor to ceiling windows. The elegant formal dining room seats 12. The kitchen features soapstone countertops, five-burner stove, industrial sized refrigerator, butler’s pantry and historic pressed tin ceiling. There is tons of additional living space including a great room that opens onto the back porch, and on to the beautiful swimming pool and back yard. The main level primary suite has a huge walk-in closet (complete with fireplace), and an ensuite bathroom with original claw foot tub plus modern shower. The second floor has 5 oversized bedrooms (two with sitting room/den spaces) and two updated bathrooms with walk-in showers, marble or subway tile. Additional features include a finished bonus space in the third floor attic, enormous basement.The 1.3 acre yard features a recently resurfaced pool and landscaping plus a gravel driveway with ample parking.
