A Grand & Stately Historic Home
4 Bedrooms, 2 Full & 1 Half Bathrooms
Caretaker’s Cottage with 1 Bedroom and 1 Bathroom
• Listed on the National Historic Register, “The Bonaventure” was restored with amazing attention to period detail and awarded recognition from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation in 1999.
• Originally constructed in 1910 for the family of Dr. George F. Payne, the Griffith School of Music occupied the home from 1923 to 1966. In the late 1990s and into the 2000s, the home was operated as a bed and breakfast. The 1 bedroom cottage is also original.
• Surrounded by century-old trees, this yellow brick two-story Craftsman-style home with Stone Mountain granite block columns and a porte-cochere sits majestically at the crest of a hill and offers winter-season views of the Downtown and Midtown skyline. Peaceful gardens feature a waterfall and fish pond.
• The stately wrap-around front porch leads to a grand formal entry parlor, complete with working granite fireplace. The main floor also features a large living room, a banquet sized dining room with built-in cabinets, and a spacious kitchen. A cozy solarium, half bathroom, and separate laundry room round out this floor. The upstairs contains four bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a glass-enclosed sleeping porch (one of two in the home). Permanent stairs lead to an unfinished third/attic floor.
• The interior remains virtually unmodified: wood floors, leaded glass windows, beaded board and plaster walls, baseboards, picture and cornice moldings, art glass, irreplaceable Craftsman-style light fixtures, pocket doors, paneled staircase with turned balusters, servants’ stairs, bath tile and fixtures, and mantels over the seven fireplaces. The kitchen was recently renovated with proper respect to the historic character of the rest of the home: stained birch cabinets with in-set doors, professional grade appliances (including a six burner Wolf range), and a banquette.
• Located in Poncey Highland (PonceyHighland.com), at the heart of one of Atlanta’s “Most Walkable” mixed-use neighborhoods, it is within easy walking distance to Freedom Park & the Carter Center as well as cafes & shops throughout the Highlands, Inman Park & Little Five Points.
