About This Home:
This is a spectacular 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home for sale on one of the nicest residential streets in Midtown. This delightful bungalow was expanded and rebuilt from the studs in 2001 (Laslie-Williams design) so it has all the charm of a 1920s bungalow coupled with all the features you expect in modern construction. The main level features: a welcoming rocking chair front porch; large living room with fireplace; pocket doors to separate den; large formal dining room; gourmet kitchen open to keeping room; separate laundry room; luxurious master retreat with oversized bedroom, 2-sided fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa-like private bath; a full guest suite with private bath; plus an additional bedroom (or office) and a large guest powder room. A screened porch and open grilling deck lead down to the large, fenced backyard. The upstairs has been finished to create 2 large bedrooms, a 3rd full bathroom with double vanity and separate tub and shower, and tons of storage space -- both finished and unfinished. There's also walk-in access to the basement in the backyard with the potential for converting it into a drive-under garage. The front yard is also fenced and there's a gated parking area.
This home is located just blocks from Piedmont Park -- one of the city's largest parks and home to major festivals and events throughout the year. This location provides easy access to dozens of restaurants, shops, and major arts venues. It is convenient to Atlantic Station (located across I-75/85 at 17th Street) a major multi-use development that features residential, entertainment and retail components as well as hotel and office space.

There's also a Publix supermarket and a huge new LA Fitness. Nearby Midtown Promenade is only a few blocks away and features some excellent eateries and pubs, a new Trader Joe's grocery store, and the Midtown Art Cinema. If you want to go further afield, the Midtown and North Avenue MARTA rail stations provide exceptionally convenient transportation to Downtown, Buckhead, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, among other destinations within the city. This location is less than a mile from I-75/85 from which you can easily access GA 400, I-20, or I-285.
Midtown is a lively and energetic community. It is a historic neighborhood located just north of Downtown Atlanta's central business district. The area features fine turn of the century homes in a variety of styles as well as a large number of smaller bungalows from the 1920s. Midtown residents benefit from the wide array of restaurants, clubs, and arts venues in the area. The neighborhood is politically active and boasts strong and effective neighborhood and business associations. The Midtown Alliance spends millions of dollars to provide additional community services and to improve infrastructure. Two of the organization's initiatives are Midtown Blue (a full-time, private police force staffed by off-duty police officers) and Midtown Green (an environmental maintenance crew that scours the area to eliminate debris and visual clutter).
