1883 Rugby Avenue

Welcome home to this exquisite home on the prettiest street in College Park. This amazing home was built in 1928 by one of the first female architects in the South, Leila Ross Wilburn. Her typical style is seen throughout the home, welcoming you into its splendor. As you approach the home, you are greeted by a sprawling veranda in front and a cozy side porch just off the driveway. Once inside, you'll notice the gleaming original hardwood floors in excellent condition. These are throughout the home. New paint in a gorgeous color of grey refreshes the home in every room. The large front room can be your extra den or office, which also contains "mudroom" features like hooks for coats, drawers for storage, and seating along the wall. The next room is currently a living room and can also be an extra den or office. The formal dining room features new, sparkling lighting, classic shaker-style wainscoting, and lots of natural light. From the dining room, you are led to the beautifully updated kitchen with stainless appliances, a beautiful wood island, stone countertops, and an original china hutch still intact! The kitchen is open to a spacious den with plenty of room for a large sectional. 2 nicely sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms are on the main level. The hallway bath has a tub shower combo and new beautiful lighting, tile floor, and beadboard wainscoting. The other bathroom has such style with a tile floor, an antique free-standing clawfoot tub, and handy rolling barn doors to the closet. Moving on to the spacious upstairs, you will find an ample primary bedroom with room for a large king-sized bed. The relaxing sitting area is perfect for watching tv and enjoying a glass of wine before retiring to bed. The large walk-in closet has plenty of room for everyone's clothing, shoes and storage! As you enter the primary bathroom, you will notice the large tiled walk-in shower. What a way to wake up! His and Hers pedestal sinks with new mirrors sit across from the make-up vanity...something you don't see often. If the front veranda and porch don't satisfy your need to be outside, you can walk through double french doors from the back den to a large deck and lower backyard. This home will make you feel like you never want to leave! Walk down the wide, tree-lined streets and you will be greeted by neighbors walking dogs, or neighbors just chatting on the sidewalk. Walk to restaurants just down the street, shopping and even walk right down the street to Woodward Academy! Don't miss this opportunity to fall in love with this classic beauty in a classic town!
