About This Home:
This is a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2-story Arts & Crafts home on one of the best residential streets in Atlanta's popular Midtown neighborhood. Built circa 1920, this home has large rooms with historic charm plus renovations and expansions that have created a wonderfully livable home. The house is elevated from the street and has a delightful wrap-around front porch. On the main level, the house features: an elegant entry foyer with coat closet and guest powder room (with laundry connections); a grand living room with coffered ceiling and brick fireplace; a gracious formal dining room with boxed beam ceiling, window seat, and French doors to the back deck; a renovated kitchen open to a wonderful family room addition with a soaring ceiling and walls of glass doors opening out to the large, wrap-around back deck that steps down to a generous, level lawn in the fully-fenced backyard. A hardwood staircase leads up to the 2nd floor, which features a master retreat with spacious, fireside master bedroom; large dressing area with custom walk-in closet; and a private full bath. The two additional bedrooms are both very large and one has a wall of built-ins. The lovely hall bathroom has a period clawfoot tub/shower. There's also a bonus sunroom/office, overlooking the backyard. This home also has a rare detached 2-car garage plus an additional parking pad, and there's a large gated space behind the garage that's ideal for a dog run or kitchen garden.
This home is located just a couple of blocks from Piedmont Park -- one of the city's largest parks and home to major festivals and events throughout the year. This location provides easy access to dozens of restaurants, shops, and major arts venues. The Midtown Promenade shopping center is also only a few blocks away and features some excellent eateries and pubs, a Trader Joe's grocery store, and the Midtown Art Cinema. There are additional shops and restaurants at the intersection of 10th and Piedmont as well as along Peachtree Street (the Midtown Mile). 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, a Target, 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. 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, business, and parents 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).
