Built in 1917 by developer S.F. Chapman in the historic Proximity Park section of Grove Park, it has been lovingly restored with care and respect for its legacy. Over the years, it has sheltered both love and creativity—including a hand-painted watercolor mural in the dining room by noted naturalist artist Sallie Ellington Middleton. In 2018, the current owners entrusted award-winning firm Adams & Adams to thoughtfully preserve, remodel, and revitalize the home. Custom oak cabinetry in the Arts and Crafts style was crafted for the kitchen, living room, primary bath, and mudroom. The chef’s kitchen seamlessly blends high-end appliances with the warmth of handcrafted tile and rich accents. The primary suite was reimagined with a luxurious ensuite bath, designed with Neolith stone for both elegance and ease of maintenance. Throughout the home, original details were carefully preserved and enhanced, including vintage electrical switches, antique wall sconces, and a salvaged bathroom sink. Modern updates provide peace of mind, with new wiring, plumbing, reinforced floors, a new roof, and siding milled to match the original where needed. Outdoors, the all-season landscaping offers beauty with minimal upkeep, while both a welcoming front patio and a private back porch invite you to enjoy the surroundings year-round. Every inch of this residence reflects the devotion of true preservationists. In 2020, it was honored with a Griffin Award from the Preservation Society for “Outstanding Contributions in Historic Preservation.” Now, the legacy of this remarkable home at 1 Evergreen Lane is ready to be yours.
