Welcome to 1402 Gilmer Ave in Montgomery’s Historic Garden District! This stunning home was built and owned by only one family and truly has been rescued! Purchased after much neglect, it has been meticulously restored and updated, it will take your breath away! As you approach the home you find a generous and inviting front porch. You enter into what was most likely once the parlor, adjacent are the living room, dining room and kitchen. There are soaring ceilings, new hard wood flooring on the first floor, beautifully restored fireplace mantles and surrounds and a modern, updated kitchen. The first floor also has a bedroom with an en suite bath that has been completely updated to include a low entry shower. Upstairs has 3 additional bedrooms and a 2nd bathroom with updated tile, bead board and wood salvaged from the house on the ceiling. There is also a bonus room that could make a great office, craft room, library or whatever you need. Just off the bonus room is a large balcony that overlooks the backyard, imagine yourself sipping your favorite beverage among the tree tops! The floors on the second floor have been refinished and a beautiful vintage looking chandelier graces the hall.
Much of this beauty’s original charm remains but also has many energy efficient features such as 6 mini splits to heat and cool the first floor, a heat pump for the 2nd floor and a tankless water heater. Plumbing, electrical and roof are all new. The yard has gorgeous, mature landscaping such as azaleas, camellias, banana shrubs and tea olives. There are also 2 peach and fig trees.
Conveniently located near dining, shopping and entertainment this home is ready for you!
