About This Home:
This is a spectacular 3 or 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath bungalow for sale on a beautiful residential street in Atlanta's popular Midtown neighborhood. This 2-story home has many custom upgrades and renovations while retaining fine original details throughout, including elegant moldings and woodwork, decorative fireplaces, and beautiful hardwood floors. The home was practically rebuilt in 2006 with painstaking attention to detail incorporating and embellishing on to the original Craftsman features. All the systems, roof, cedar siding were replaced at this time as well as the reworking of all the windows. Many of the items used in the expansion were harvested from other historic buildings and tastefully edited into the home. The yard has been professionally landscaped into an organic, Woodlands low-maintenance yard.
On the main level, you'll find: a rocking chair front porch; a spacious living room open to the separate front parlor (or 4th bedroom); an amazing formal dining room featuring a dramatic 2-story ceiling with exposed beams; a gorgeous, custom-designed kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinets, pantry closet, plus separate butler's pantry and open breakfast room with patio doors to the back deck and backyard. There are 2 large bedrooms -- 1 with private half bathroom -- and a full hall bathroom on the main level. The 2nd story features a fantastic and huge owner's retreat including an oversized master bedroom with sitting area; a bonus room perfect for a nursery or home office; his & hers walk-in closets; and a luxurious private master bathroom with custom double vanity and walk-in shower. A full-sized laundry closet is conveniently located off the master bathroom. This home also has a driveway for off-street parking.

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).
