Inman Park Tour of Homes
176 ELIZABETH STREET | RON MARTIN & MICHELLE NUNN
Every aspect of this elegant 1908 American four-square offers a glimpse into Inman Park’s history. The wrap-around front porch provides a broad perspective of Elizabeth Street, affording views of the original homes planned by Inman Park founder Joel Hurt. The newly built back porch overlooks the recently restored Springvale Park, designed by the Olmsted brothers and established in 1889. The large stained glass window halfway up the staircase was replaced in the 1940s when an inebriated party guest fell through the original. In 1972, former owner Ken Thompson designed the butterfly logo for Inman Park Restoration (now the Inman Park Neighborhood Association). The current owners have extensively renovated the house since moving here in 2007. Filled with family antiques and personal political memorabilia, their home also displays beautiful folk art and international keepsakes from Michelle’s travels. Be sure to see the elaborate cactus woodcarving from Oaxaca, which serves as a lamp in the cozy library. The three-level spacious rooms recall the structure’s history as a mid-century rooming house while also feeling bright and contemporary. Michelle and Ron wanted lots of light for their new kitchen, so they had most of their storage built into drawers beneath the countertops, leaving plenty of room for windows.
