This is a beautiful 2 bedroom (plus front parlor/study), 1 bath bungalow for sale in the Poncey-Highlands neighborhood in Midtown Atlanta. This classic 1930s brick bungalow sits elevated from the street on a deep lot and has fully-fenced front and back yards. It features: a rocking chair front porch; spacious living room with fireplace and built-in bookcases; a separate front parlor/study/den (or potential 3rd or guest bedroom); a lovely formal dining room; a completely renovated kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite countertops, butler's pantry, and wet bar; and a separate laundry closet. There are 2 generous bedrooms as well as a full hall bathroom with pedestal sink and tub/shower. This home has a lovely back deck overlooking the deep backyard, and a driveway with large carpad for off-street parking of multiple cars. There is also a partial basement for additional storage.

This home is located in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood, which is bordered by the neighborhoods of Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Druid Hills, and Midtown. This is a vibrant part of town with lots of new development in addition to existing neighborhood business districts. You'll love the convenience of having a grocery store just around the corner. Also nearby, the Ponce City Market, an exciting new multi-use development (currently under development) that will convert the historic City Hall East building (originally the old Sears building) into a mix of retail, dining, office, and residential space. There are several existing neighborhood business districts in the vicinity as well, including Highland Row, Little Five Points, and all the great shops and restaurants along North Highland and Ponce de Leon Avenue. Nearby Midtown Place gives you easy access to Whole Foods, Home Depot, and Borders as well as a wide variety of other shops and restaurants, and a short drive takes you to the Edgewood Retail District (just past Little 5 Points) where you'll find 500,000 sq. ft. of retail including major national chains such as Lowes, Target, Barnes & Noble, and Best Buy.

Just a few blocks away is the new Historic Fourth Ward Park, one of the first completed parks in the Atlanta Beltline project that will provide a network of public parks, multi-use trails, and transit along a historic 22-mile railroad corridor circling downtown and connecting 45 intown neighborhoods. Also a few blocks away you'll find an entrance to the existing Freedom Park and The PATH (intown's multi-use urban trail, which is popular with area runners, walkers, skaters, and others). Nearby Candler Park is home to a public executive length golf course, swimming pool, sports fields, and a new playground; and Goldsboro Park offers tennis and basketball courts.

Poncey-Highland is convenient to both the Edgewood-Candler Park and Inman Park/Reynoldstown MARTA rail stations, and is a very easy commute to anywhere downtown as well as Emory University. This location also provides easy access to I-75/85 (via Freedom Parkway), GA 400 and I-20.
