This huge historic Victorian-era house at the highest point in downtown Kennesaw is waiting for a new owner to make it their dream home. Sitting on almost an acre lot only a few hundred feet from Main Street! Built in 1898 by Edward Hill, son of Civil-War era businessman John W. "Bacon" Hill, it's been said that Gen. Sherman stood in this spot to watch the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. The initial most original part of the building is said to have been used as a hospital, and the site is listed on the National Historic Registry. While maintaining a beautiful historic look, this home has had many updates on the inside and a couple of additions since the 2000’s to make it a 5600+ square foot manor fit for the modern family of today. The wrap-around porch overlooks the picturesque level grounds with a gazebo and beautiful hardwood trees. Imagine hosting family gatherings and lawn parties at this beautiful estate so convenient to I-75, KSU, Downtown Kennesaw and Marietta! The main floor features 5 unique fireplaces and closets in abundance! A 3rd-level loft overlooks the two-story foyer and sitting room, which opens to a long wide center hallway with space for an open kitchen and breakfast area, dining room, and family room. In addition to a massive Master Suite and Guest Suite on the main floor, you’ll also find rooms for an Office, Parlor, Mudroom and separate Pantry off the Kitchen, as well as a half-bath and numerous closets. Upstairs features space for 3 large bedrooms, open to an outside balcony, 2 full bathrooms, a Laundry Room, and a Huge Bonus Room (25x11). Residential plans have already been drawn and are available for the new owner. City water and sewer. Huge level driveway and cement patio pad, as well as a basketball court pad! Could also be an incredible wedding and event venue or even a bed and breakfast! Note: The water pipes froze in 2017, so all flooring and subflooring has been removed on the main level in prep for full restoration and personal finishes!
