Light-filled and perfectly positioned in the heart of Morningside, this classic 1938 home pairs timeless character with thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, and an exceptional setting on more than half an acre. Loved by the same owners for over 45 years, it is the kind of home that has clearly been enjoyed for generations and is ready for its next chapter. Inside, hardwood floors and abundant natural light create a warm, welcoming feel. A cozy sitting room with built-ins makes an ideal library or quiet retreat, while the spacious living room centers around a charming fireplace. French doors open to the front patio, extending the living space outdoors. Just beyond, a sunny bonus room offers the perfect spot for an office, playroom, or creative space. The formal dining room is made for dinner parties and holiday gatherings, and the generous eat-in kitchen provides plenty of cabinet and countertop space for everyday life. Three bedrooms on the main level include the primary suite with an ensuite bath and direct access to the back patio. A classic guest bath and conveniently located laundry complete the main level. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets, and wonderful natural light. The outdoor spaces are a standout. A screened porch, expansive deck, patios, manicured landscaping, and a deep backyard create multiple places to entertain, garden, play, or simply enjoy the privacy of this special property. With more than half an acre, there is also tremendous opportunity to make the outdoor space your own. A detached two-car garage and long driveway provide excellent parking and storage. Fresh interior and exterior paint, refinished hardwood floors, a new roof, newer water heater, and waterproofed basement add peace of mind while leaving plenty of opportunity for the next owner to make the home their own. Even better, a stop sign directly at the front of the property naturally slows passing traffic and makes coming and going easy. The location is quintessential Morningside, with Daniel Johnson Nature Preserve nearby and neighborhood favorites like Alon’s Bakery and Whiskey Bird just minutes away. After more than four decades with one family, 1719 Johnson Road is ready for its next owner to put down roots.

Morningside-Lenox Park, located between Piedmont Park and Emory University, is a residential and park-adjacent Atlanta neighborhood with leafy streets and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Morningside Village corridor at N Highland Ave NE and Lanier Blvd NE, where sidewalk patios, a small market strip, and local storefronts set a steady, walkable rhythm. Alon’s Bakery & Market anchors the daily routine with coffee cases and bread counters, while the Morningside Farmers Market turns weekend mornings into a social ritual. Tudor Revivals and brick bungalows line curving blocks, with pocket parks and school greens breaking up the grid. Trails and lawns at nearby Piedmont Park and the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail shape outdoor time. The pace feels polished but lived-in, with dining and errands clustered in compact nodes.
