Tour Stop Two: 310 Augusta Avenue Southeast
Andy, Allie, and children Margot & Teddy
Andy and Allie were drawn to the mixture of historic charm and modern amenities of this home, and loved the openness and abundance of light.
While the home looks like a turn-of-the-century Craftsman, it burned down in the early 2000’s and was meticulously rebuilt in 2008 by a former owner who happened to be an interior designer.
Be sure to note some of the family’s favorite features: the wrap around front porch, high ceilings, antique fireplaces, and stained glass windows. The fireplaces in the front room and dining room are original, and the front door, interior doors and fireplace mantles are predominantly antique. The moldings are styled in accordance with the elegant standards of the gilded age.
As you walk into the foyer, take note of the soot covered brick to the left, a relic of when the home burned down over 20 years ago. Don’t lean against it or your shirt will be ruined!
With the help of fellow Augusta Ave friend & resident Jesse Holt of Harbor & Harvest, Andy and Allie have made extensive improvements to the grounds including wrought iron fencing, a stone patio, front yard retaining wall, landscape lighting, improved drainage and a parking pad. They had a lot of fun inside the home too with the help of local design geniuses at Grant & Little, installing fun wallpaper in the dining room and half bath, made some modifications to the Jack & Jill bathroom, brought in an antique mantle and added tiling in the master bedroom fireplace.
