1892 Starlight Drive, Marietta, GA 30062

First time on the market since 1965, 1892 Starlight Drive is a lovingly cared-for classic ranch in the heart of Hasty Acres - move-in ready and full of character. On a still evening, settle into the screened porch and you might hear the distant whisper of a train whistle beckoning dreams of exotic travel.

Classic ranch styling featuring tasteful updates blended with original designs, ready for you to move right in, and live comfortably while creating your own legacy. Large living room, smooth ceilings, and a keeping room highlighted by walls of tongue-and-groove knotty pine set a warm and welcoming tone.

Genuine hardwood floors throughout are in like-new condition. The primary bath retains the charm of the era while the hall bath is tiled in a more modern motif. The kitchen makes the most of every inch - granite counters, abundant cabinetry, and newer appliances including a dishwasher, built-in microwave and convection oven keep it thoroughly practical and well-appointed.

The HVAC was replaced in 2016 and the water heater is only six months old. The full basement with boat-door access and automatic opener opens up a world of possibilities - storage, workshop, hobby space, or beyond. The fenced back yard reflects decades of devoted care - a stunning tapestry of peach trees, blackberry bushes and flowering plants from across the southeast, chosen by someone who truly loved them.

Now happily growing on their own terms, this haven for birds and wildlife has already done the hard work of establishing itself. The next steward need only enjoy it. Here's something most buyers don't know: Cobb-area homes of this era typically sit on lots nearly twice the size shown in tax records. This one is no exception - you're getting approximately half an acre. Located close to great schools, shopping, casual and fine dining with easy access to major highways - what a perfect place to stop and smell the flowers.
