Morningside Charm at Its Absolute Best! If you have been waiting for something truly special to hit the market, look no further than this Morningside gem. Held in the same family for nearly 50 years and meticulously maintained, this all-brick residence has just undergone a total refresh with every surface touched. Now in move-in condition, the home lives beautifully as-is while offering tremendous future potential with a HUGE walk-up attic limited only by your imagination. Inside, the home is defined by high ceilings and an oversized Great Room anchored by a classic fireplace. Natural light pours through large windows, illuminating the freshly refinished hardwood floors and new interior paint. The versatile floor plan includes three bedrooms on the main level—one of which is currently styled as a cozy den—and a super-rare finished basement. This lower level is an incredible retreat, featuring a second fireplace, a guest bedroom, and a full bath, making it the perfect studio or private guest suite. No detail was overlooked in the recent refresh. Enhancements include high-quality interior and exterior paint, new landscaping, and upgraded lighting. The home is further elevated by new appliances, carpeting, shutters, blinds, window, treatment, and related hardware. Outside, the large, level backyard features a motor court, a two-car garage, and a dedicated storage shed. Combining historic soul with modern updates, this is a unique opportunity to secure an exceptional property in one of Atlanta’s most prestigious neighborhoods.
