Colonial, Traditional

Tucked between the trails of Kennesaw Mountain and the vibrant energy of Historic Marietta Square, this stately three-sided brick home offers the quintessential West Cobb lifestyle. This renovated showpiece easily stands out from the crowd. The main and upper levels boast hardwood flooring and a chef-inspired kitchen with solid-surface counters and stainless appliances. Every bathroom is designed with on-trend tile, double vanities and a spa-like soaking tub. The bright kitchen and sunny keeping room creates an open, airy feel, while a formal dining room comfortably seats a large dinner. Built-in bookcases, a fireplace and tray ceilings add architectural interest. With 6 bedrooms and 4½ baths across 4,563 square feet, there’s room for multi-generation living, home offices and gym spaces. The finished terrace level includes a media room, full bath, bonus room and storage—perfect for a teen retreat or in-law suite. Upstairs, generous bedrooms offer walk-in closets and updated baths. A two-car garage sits on the kitchen level for easy grocery unloading, and there’s plenty of extra parking along the level driveway. Situated on a .48-acre lot, the backyard is fully fenced and level with a mix of greenspace and wooded areas. An expansive deck invites outdoor dining, morning coffee or twilight stargazing. The HOA fee is a modest $150 per year, giving you well-maintained common area and street lights without breaking the bank. You’re literally steps from Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. The park features 25 miles of trails that wind through Civil War earthworks and forests, including the Burnt Hickory trailhead and Hardage Mill loops. Morning hikes or weekend bike rides are part of daily life here, and the 16-mile full-park loop offers a serious workout. Families will appreciate being zoned for West Side Elementary, an A-rated school with an 8/10 rating, followed by Marietta Sixth Grade Academy, Marietta Middle and Marietta High School. Marietta’s independent school district is known for its magnet programs and community engagement. Meanwhile, Historic Marietta Square—the “historic and cultural centerpiece of Marietta”—is minutes away. Its 19th-century buildings house charming boutiques, galleries and restaurants, and the square hosts farmers markets, art festivals and food events throughout the year.
