|| EXTENSIVE 2026 RENOVATION || NEW ROOF + NEW HVAC SYSTEM || NEWLY ADDED PRIMARY BATHROOM || NEW KITCHEN + STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES || NEW WINDOWS + JAMES HARDIE SIDING || NO HOA + NO RENT RESTRICTIONS || KIRKWOOD LOCATION || A beautiful renovation is one thing. A home where the work goes well beyond what you can see is something entirely different. At 147 Rockyford Road NE, an EXTENSIVE 2026 RENOVATION has transformed both the appearance and major components of this Kirkwood home, creating a fresh, contemporary living space with substantial improvements already completed behind the walls, beneath the floors, and overhead. The result is a thoughtfully updated home that combines MODERN DESIGN, EVERYDAY FUNCTIONALITY, AND THE CONVENIENCE OF INTOWN LIVING. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the CLEAN, MODERN FINISHES and OPEN LIVING AND KITCHEN AREA. The COMPLETELY RENOVATED KITCHEN features NEW SHAKER-STYLE CABINETRY, QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS, TILE BACKSPLASH, UPDATED LIGHTING, and a COMPLETE SUITE OF BRAND-NEW STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES. Whether you're preparing dinner or entertaining friends, the open layout keeps everyone connected. NEW FLOORING THROUGHOUT, FRESH INTERIOR PAINT, NEW TWO-PANEL DOORS, and contemporary finishes give the entire home a cohesive, updated feel. One of the most meaningful improvements is the NEWLY ADDED PRIVATE PRIMARY BATHROOM, creating a true PRIMARY SUITE with a spacious tiled shower, modern vanity, and contemporary fixtures. The existing hall bathroom has also been COMPLETELY RENOVATED with new tile, vanity, lighting, and fixtures. With THREE BEDROOMS AND TWO FULL BATHROOMS, the layout makes efficient use of the home's space while offering flexibility for guests, a home office, or everyday living. But some of the MOST VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS are the ones you won't immediately notice. The extensive 2026 renovation includes a NEW ROOF, COMPLETELY NEW HVAC SYSTEM, and MAJOR ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING UPGRADES. Significant structural and framing work was also completed, including joist repairs, LVL structural support where needed, and subfloor repairs and replacement prior to installation of the new finishes. These are the kinds of substantial improvements that go far beyond a typical cosmetic renovation. The exterior received just as much attention, with NEW DOUBLE-PANE LOW-E WINDOWS, JAMES HARDIE LAP SIDING, and REFRESHED EXTERIOR PAINT AND FINISHES. Updated landscaping enhances the curb appeal, while the LEVEL, PRIVATE YARD provides outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining, or creating a garden of your own. And then there's the KIRKWOOD LIFESTYLE. Enjoy the character and convenience of one of Atlanta's established Intown neighborhoods, with KIRKWOOD VILLAGE, neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, and BESSIE BRANHAM PARK nearby. Spend a Saturday exploring local shops, meeting friends for dinner, or enjoying the neighborhood's parks and community atmosphere. Nearby DECATUR AND EAST LAKE add even more dining, shopping, and recreation options. Another important advantage is NO HOA AND NO RENT RESTRICTIONS. Whether you're looking for a primary residence or considering future rental flexibility, the absence of these restrictions gives you additional options for how you use the property. The advantage of 147 Rockyford Road NE goes well beyond its fresh, modern appearance. It's the opportunity to enjoy the KIRKWOOD LIFESTYLE in a home with a NEWLY ADDED PRIMARY BATHROOM, COMPLETELY RENOVATED KITCHEN, EXTENSIVE 2026 SYSTEM AND STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENTS, AND NO HOA OR RENT RESTRICTIONS. So much of the expensive, time-consuming renovation work has already been completed, leaving the next owner free to focus on making the home their own.
Kirkwood, located between East Lake and Oakhurst, is a historic and walkable Decatur neighborhood with a rail-line edge and a village-style commercial strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kirkwood Village district along Hosea L. Williams Drive near Kirkwood Road, where patios, coffee counters, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Pullman Yards anchors the area with large-scale events and creative spaces in a former industrial complex. The Earl and Le Petit Marché serve as local pillars for live music nights and neighborhood dining. Early-20th-century bungalows and Craftsman homes line leafy streets, with pocket parks and the Trolley Line Trail shaping daily routes.
