1060 Ferndale ST Stone Mountain, GA 30083

Atlanta-Area History for Sale: This 1954 sensation was custom-built by O. A. King, owner/operator of the Stone Mountain quarry in the 1960's, and has remained in the King family for 70 years. Now, one lucky buyer will literally own a piece of history, as Stone Mountain granite can be found throughout the home. Sitting on 2.4 acres in the Village's historic district, this mid-century modern home is filled with character: actress Butterfly McQueen ("Prissy" of Gone With the Wind, 1939) enjoyed lemonade with Mrs. King in the oversized kitchen, Mr. King grilled steaks in the African-wood family room grill; the cedar closet was filled with gowns, hats, and shoes of bygone eras; and children have climbed the front lawn magnolia trees for nearly a century. Charming retro/vintage features and custom built-ins delight, including 3 fireplaces, a "wall of windows," fireplace cabinetry, and a gun cabinet. Beautiful landscaping provides an oasis from city living with Atlanta just 25 min away. ON SITE: 3-car carport, storage, parking pad, outbuilding. SMALL-TOWN FEEL: 12 min walk to the charming Village (Main Street Public House, Cherokee Rose, Outrun Brewery, Sweet Potato Cafe, etc.) and a 20 min walk to the park itself. Drive to Decatur in 10 min. LOCATION: Quick access to Memorial Drive, Hwy 78, Ponce, and I-285. OTHER: Roof under 3 yrs old, HVACs and water heater 1.5 yrs old, and windows replaced in 2002.
