The Fischer House is an iconic testament to the opulence of high Victorian architecture. Nestled in the heart of Atlanta's historic Grant Park, this extraordinary residence was originally commissioned by Julius A. Fischer's illustrious family in 1886. As you approach the entrance, you'll be greeted by a picture-perfect rocking chair front porch, complete with a carriage stone displaying the Fischer family name, intricate fretwork, and a prime vantage point from the geographic center of the Grant Park neighborhood. Step inside, and you'll discover an entertainer's paradise that unfolds with grace and grandeur. Three expansive living areas beckon, elegantly flanking a formal dining room as you cross the threshold. These gallery-esque spaces boast soaring ceilings that seem to touch the sky, adorned with ornate decorative fireplaces, exquisite original stained glass, and period moldings, all set against the backdrop of meticulously preserved 137-year-old heart-of-pine flooring. The kitchen, a harmonious blend of history and modernity, retains its original heart pine beneath contemporary floor coverings. Here, granite countertops, contemporary cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient breakfast bar merge seamlessly with a picturesque window seat adorned with stained glass. The potential for expanding the kitchen into the yard exists, limited only by your imagination. Ascend the original Southern Longleaf heart-of-pine staircase to the second level, where two spacious secondary bedrooms await, complemented by a breathtaking covered balcony overlooking impeccably manicured rear gardens. The primary bedroom is a masterpiece in its own right, featuring a unique turret space adorned with original stained glass. It also offers a recently renovated ensuite bath, a laundry area, and a faux Juliet balcony. Two additional bedrooms on this level share a full bath, while a generously-sized walk-up attic with permanent stairs provides abundant storage space and endless possibilities for future expansion. As you step outside, the enchantment continues. An updated screened porch invites you to savor moments of leisure, overlooking meticulously maintained gardens that showcase Victorian classics like crepe myrtles, Japanese maples, sky pencil boxwoods, canna lilies, roses, hostas, azaleas, and more. Adjacent to the garden is a two-car carport, thoughtfully designed to harmonize with the main house's architectural splendor and offering direct access from Killian Street. From the outdoors, you can seamlessly access the basement, providing a workspace area and abundant additional storage. This is a rare opportunity to become the steward of one of Atlanta's most distinguished historic homes, and it's available for under seven figures.
