This is a beautifully renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bath home for sale in the heart of Atlanta's popular Midtown neighborhood. The house sits elevated from the street and features a delightful front yard with a large patio and a contemplative zen garden shaded by a mature tree. A driveway provides off-street parking. The front door opens into a spacious living room with vaulted ceiling. The entertaining areas at the front of the house are bright and open with sleek ebony-colored floors, lots of windows for great natural light, and multiple closets for excellent storage. This is a great home for entertaining with excellent flow between the living room, dining room, kitchen, and the front patio. The living room leads into a spacious dining room with windows on 3 sides. The dining room is open to the renovated kitchen with updated cabinets, black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula with breakfast bar and built-in wine cooler. The back hallway leads to 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, both of which have been renovated. The master suite has a private full bath plus a laundry closet with full-sized stacked washer and dryer. This home also has a large, fully-fenced backyard with a detached storage shed.

This home is located just a few short blocks 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 new 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. 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).
