The house is behind the garden. That's the point! Out front, a picket-fenced native plant sanctuary buzzing with pollinators - lush, intentional, and definitely not your neighbors' yard. Behind it, a 1938 craftsman bungalow with original heart pine floors, crown molding detail, decorative fireplaces, wood doors with the kind of character that can't be manufactured, and a rocking chair front porch that makes it very hard to leave. Inside, the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated in all the right ways, modern where it counts, but nothing that fights the character this house has spent 87 years earning. The roof, HVAC, and water heater are all newer, so the big stuff is already taken care of. Downstairs, a full unfinished basement runs the entire footprint of the house, wide open for storage, a workshop, or whatever comes next. Out back, a private seating area looks out over a fully planted native garden with 45+ species of fruit trees, edible plants, and pollinator habitat, years of work that come with the house and ready for you to appreciate. The Chattahoochee River and Riverwalk Atlanta are practically in your backyard, and the best of the Upper Westside, including Bellwood Coffee, Canoe, Chattahoochee Food Works, and Westside Park, are all just moments away. Some homes have curb appeal. This one has a whole personality.
