Historic without being precious. Grand without being formal. Spacious, warm, and wonderfully livable, 262 Daniel is an original East Lake home with more than a century of stories behind it and plenty of life still ahead. Built circa 1910, and thoughtfully renovated in 2014, this magnificent original Craftsman is one… Read More of Historic East Lake's early homes, a gracious reminder of the neighborhood's beginnings. In the early days of the new East Lake Golf Club, the family of celebrated Atlanta athlete and internationally renowned tennis player Bitsy Grant built the home as a country retreat, combining the Southern charm, generous proportions, and Craftsman character of the era. More than a century later, the home has been thoughtfully restored and updated while preserving the architectural details and sense of place that make an historic home special. Overlooking East Lake Park, the inviting broad Southern front porch provides a fitting introduction and setting for many relaxing gatherings and sunsets. Step inside to soaring 10+ foot ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, abundant natural light, a handsome fireplace, and the wonderfully generous room sizes of an earlier era. With five bedrooms, three baths, and flexible spaces throughout, this is a substantial home that lives comfortably for today's lifestyles. The main level unfolds through a gracious collection of spaces including the Living Room, Den, Dining Room, updated Kitchen, butler's pantry, oversized utility/mud room, flexible office or bonus room, and Primary Suite with private bath and professionally designed walk-in closet. The rooms flow naturally together, equally suited to quiet everyday living, working from home, entertaining friends, or filling the house for the holidays. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a full bath offer even more flexibility for family, guests, offices, creative spaces, or whatever life happens to require next. And then there is the backyard. Huge, flat, fenced, it is made for dogs, garden projects, yard games, evenings around the fire pit, and good old-fashioned hanging out. An expansive private deck overlooking the yard provides plenty of room for grilling, dining, and lounging. And when the day is done, slip into the hot tub with your favorite refreshment, whether to unwind after a long day or simply because you can. From the broad Southern front porch to the backyard fire pit and hot tub, this is a home that invites you to slow down, settle in, and stay awhile. And this history extends beyond the house itself. Local stories passed down from those early East Lake years recall a remarkable circle of Atlanta sports figures gathering nearby, including Bitsy Grant, golf legend Bobby Jones, and legendary Georgia Tech football coaches Bill Alexander and Bobby Dodd, socializing and playing cards before walking across the street to the golf club. Seller Reflections: "The spacious front porch has been one of our favorite gathering spots, a place where friends and family could sit and talk while watching our kids play at the park just steps away. East Lake has given us the warmth and familiarity of a small-town community while keeping us close to everything the city has to offer. It is a rare combination, and one of the many reasons this home will always hold such a special place in our hearts. We love the Historic background, architectural details, craftsman details, charm, and character. We love owning such an important piece of East Lake History." The location is quintessential East Lake. Just steps from East Lake Park and East Lake Golf Club, and within walking distance of Drew Charter School and neighborhood restaurants, the home offers that rare combination of a close-knit neighborhood and intown Atlanta living, with Oakhurst Village, Kirkwood Village, MARTA, Memorial Drive, Glenwood Avenue, I-20, and I-285 are all convenient.
