About This Home:
This is a lovely 3 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow for sale in the heart of Atlanta's wonderful Midtown neighborhood. This home, built in the 1930s, has updates throughout but maintains its historic charm with many original and restored details. A welcoming front porch greets guests and the front door opens into a lovely living room with a wood-burning fireplace and lots of natural light. The living room opens into an elegant formal dining room with windows on 2 walls and beautiful moldings. The kitchen is spacious and features a sunny breakfast nook. Beyond the kitchen is a bonus room with windows on 3 sides, a full-sized laundry closet, and patio doors out to a spacious deck overlooking the big, privacy-fenced, level backyard. There are 3 generous bedrooms and the hall bathroom has been recently renovated with beautiful tilework and a custom built-in cabinet. This home also has basement and attic storage space. A private driveway leads to an attached carport providing off-street parking for up to 4 cars.
This home is located just a short walk from Piedmont Park -- one of the city's largest parks and home to major festivals and events throughout the year. It's in the Midtown neighborhood but near its eastern border with the Virginia-Highland neighborhood, so you get the best of both worlds. This location provides easy access to dozens of restaurants, shops, and major arts venues. The Midtown Promenade shopping center is only a couple of blocks away and features some excellent eateries and pubs, a Trader Joe's grocery store, and the Midtown Art Cinema. The area is also convenient to the main Virginia-Highland business district as well as 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. Businesses at Atlantic Station include (among many others): a 16-screen movie theatre with stadium seats; Dillards; Banana Republic; Old Navy; Gap; Victoria's Secret; DSW; IKEA; Pier One; Bath & Body Works; and a wide variety of restaurants and cafes. There's also a Publix supermarket and a huge LA Fitness. 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. Midtown is also just a short drive from the campuses of both Georgia Tech and Emory University. 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).
