An Avondale Estates Treasure - 1940's fine home! This sprawling ranch style home is nestled on a great lot with a circular driveway in the Historic Section. The lot is stunningly landscaped and fashioned after the golf course at Augusta National Golf Club. A serious golf coach and landscaper designed this yard. This could be your next spacious home and we have just the renovator's ready to work! Bring your desire for a one level dream home here! The possibilities are up to you! The home is ready for updating or totally renovating. We have plans for a one level renovation by a noted architect on line and in the home. We also have a second story plan for folks who want an upstairs for visiting kids/grandkids but want to live on their main level in a gorgeously renovated home. You will enjoy meeting the renovation team of Total Construction & Remodeling to talk through your ideal plans. Additionally, the home comes with a generator and well (nice to have). Enjoy a walk to nearby Lake Avondale or check out the Avondale Swim & Tennis Club. Stroll a block or so to dine in the Tudor Village (plenty of choices) and/or sip a cold beer (brewery of your choice too). The friendly small town green space welcomes you to attend a Sunday Farmer's market or an evening concert. The proximity to 285, the airport, downtown or Emory area is wonderful too. The neighborhood feel and wonderful neighbors are truly magical. So many of us buy a first home here then grow into a second and third home here! Very common practice to meet neighbors who grew up here, in their second or third Avondale Estates home. Come tour this classic ranch and make it your next home! We are also a golf cart community - special parking options too!

Looking for a meticulously maintained home you can move into, immediately enjoy the backyard which is a Designated Wildlife Habitat, and also be on a quiet, dead-end street, close to a lake and a short stroll from the center of your small, thriving downtown? 1111 Banbury Cross is all that; it's mature landscaping, birds singing, owls hooting, peaceful evenings with sunsets, and relaxing mornings in the garden with a fresh cup of coffee. Approaching the flagstone front porch, you see the exterior has been completely renovated, including the roof, gutters, Pella windows throughout, cement board siding and paint. Step inside and experience the circular flow which makes entertaining easy. The main level has all your public spaces: oversized dining room; den with a wood burning fireplace; kitchen with adjacent breakfast room; extra room for butler pantry, reading nook, etc.; laundry, and the crown jewel--a 550sf sunroom with an expansive 180o view into the lushly landscaped, private backyard. It's a welcoming room, rich with Australian Cypress wood floors and featuring a wood burning stove you'll truly appreciate in winter. This space is the heart of the home! You will retreat here after a day of work, after returning from dinner in Tudor Village or following a concert you attended at Town Green (which you can get to in your golf cart). Upstairs you'll find your private living spaces: the primary suite; three other bedrooms (one currently used as a primary closet/dressing room); an additional bath; a 'home office' room, and a playroom/creative space over half the garage. Storage is plentiful, too, with two separate attic spaces, a clean and spacious basement and an incredibly clean and tidy crawl space complete with vapor barrier. It's not every day you find a home this well cared for. Everywhere you look you can see the sellers invested a lot in this home, both inside and out, over the 40 years they lived here. Diligent care was the every day norm, not something done to get this one ready to sell. A short stroll from Avondale Lake, Fletcher Park and all the special places that make Avondale so desirable (Pool & Tennis Club, Avondale Elementary, dining and retail shops at Tudor Village, and Town Green for free concerts and Sunday's Farmers' Market). Come feel how this home can encourage easy living, entertaining and memory making for years to come!
