Rare opportunity to own the historic Palmour House, one of College Park's original residences, built circa 1892. This one-of-a-kind property is rich in history and architectural significance, originally constructed for Dr. William Crenshaw, a prominent early figure in the community. In 1931, the home was purchased by his daughter, Mary Palmour, and her husband Oscar, giving rise to the name "Palmour House." A stunning example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture, the home has changed hands only a handful of times and has been meticulously restored to preserve its historic charm while incorporating modern functionality. Situated on two parcels totaling approximately 1.3 acres, the property offers exceptional flexibility. The main residence sits on a .9-acre lot, with an additional .4-acre parcel fronting College Street that may offer future resale or development potential. Most recently used as a single-family residence, the property is also located within the City of College Park's Transit Oriented Development (TOD) zoning, allowing for a wide range of potential uses including office, retail, event space, bed and breakfast, restaurant, or continued residential use. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings and abundant natural light highlight exquisite period details, including stained and beveled glass, 12 unique fireplaces, intricate plaster ceiling designs, hand-carved millwork, and a thoughtful blend of original and replica fixtures. The grand foyer showcases exceptional craftsmanship and an original decorative wooden trellis. The library/living room features built-in bookshelves, a pressed tin ceiling, and an intricately carved fireplace mantel, while a private office with built-ins and floor-to-ceiling windows sits just off the foyer. The formal dining room comfortably seats 12, and the chef's kitchen features soapstone countertops, a five-burner stove, industrial-sized refrigerator, butler's pantry, and a historic pressed tin ceiling. Additional living space includes a spacious great room that opens to the back porch, overlooking the pool and expansive backyard. The main-level primary suite offers a large walk-in closet with fireplace and a beautifully updated bath featuring a clawfoot tub and separate shower. Upstairs, the second level includes five oversized bedrooms, two with sitting area, and two updated bathrooms with walk-in showers, marble, and subway tile finishes. A finished bonus space on the third-floor attic and a large basement provide even more flexibility. The exterior showcases classic Victorian detailing, including a rocking chair front porch with gingerbread scrollwork and cypress flooring, patterned slate roof, granite lintels and foundation, decorative friezes, a domed turret, and steep gables. The beautifully landscaped 1.3-acre grounds feature a recently resurfaced pool and ample parking, with access from both College Street and Hemphill Street, ideal for residential or commercial use. Located just 1 stop on the Marta train to the Atlanta Airport and walking distance to the train station. Also just steps from Woodward Academy and minutes to MARTA, the airport, Delta, Porsche, and all major Atlanta highways. Historic College Park is a wonderful community to live, work and play!
