About This Home:
This is a nicely renovated and surprisingly spacious 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage for sale in the hot Loring Heights neighborhood of the City of Atlanta. The house has a low maintenance front yard with a large entry patio shaded by a pergola. The front entry leads into a fireside living room that steps down to a separate den. The formal dining room opens out to a huge screened porch that's ideal for al fresco dining. This home has an updated kitchen with breakfast bar plus a separate butler's pantry with built-in hutch and a built-in home office. The 2 bedrooms are corner rooms with windows on 2 walls plus custom closets. The bathroom is spacious and updated, and the house has a partially finished daylight basement with interior entry that provides lots of extra space. The backyard is very deep and fully fenced, and there's a big patio at the back of the house. There's also a driveway for off-street parking. The location is just blocks from the Atlantic Station development and very convenient to Georgia Tech, Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead.
