Featured in Southern Homes, Victorian Sampler, and Women's World magazines, one can't help but admire the ornate craftsmanship typical of Queen Anne Victorians like 516 Bryan Street. Built in 1908 for George T. Murphy, an accountant at Cudahy Packing Company, this home is a showcase of exquisite millwork as seen by the details on the large rocking-chair front porch - the perfect place to take in the abundant greenery of the beautifully landscaped front garden. Step inside the stained-glass front door and into the grand hall where you'll immediately be taken by the soaring 11-foot ceilings throughout the main floor. With double parlors that flank either side of the entryway, a spacious dining room, and a generous bedroom, this floor plan provides the next residents with numerous options for flexible living spaces. On the main level, four original and working fireplaces have been updated with either gas logs or Valor energy-efficient gas inserts designed to look like Victorian coal-burning hearths. At the rear of the house, a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry and walk-in pantry opens into an incomparable glass conservatory overlooking the private and lush 2-tiered rear courtyard featuring an Andrew Carson copper and glass wind sculpture, Kensington Palace angel sculpture, and purple Victorian gazing ball on a stand. A spa-like bathroom with oversized shower and laundry room complete the first floor. Upstairs, you'll enjoy lofty cathedral ceilings throughout. The oversized owners' retreat features custom built-ins, numerous walk-in closets, a dressing or reading room, a spacious en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, a jetted tub, and separate shower, and a gas fireplace with a stunning mantle which initially graced the The William Raoul mansion??????????which originally stood??????????at 848 Peachtree Street.
