Charming renovated home with a full two car detached garage and level walk out yard in sought-after Garden Hills! The kitchen features granite counters, custom cabinets, and top-of-the-line appliances. The handmade subway-tile backsplash extends to the ceiling adding a special touch in the kitchen. The breakfast area is accented by the restored original butler’s pantry with a new granite countertop. The fourth bedroom on the main level makes the perfect "work from home" office. The fireside living room opens to a family room with built-ins offering lots of living space. A rare feature are the restored sconces in each room on the main level adding character to each room. The sunroom with sliding glass doors is a spot you'll enjoy each day. The renovated owner's suite feature a renovated bathroom with a dual vanity, a vaulted ceiling with a skylight, and an oversized walk-in shower with a frameless glass door. Off this bathroom is a large walk-in custom closet, also with a vaulted ceiling, skylight and plenty of space for your clothes and accessories. The second upstairs bedroom features two closets, one a deep walk-in. This bedroom has its own large walk-in shower with a bench. This home is in the heart of the neighborhood close to the neighborhood pool, and steps from a Sunnyboork Park with walking paths and stone bridges. Garden Hills is the only neighborhood in the city with four parks, one with lighted tennis courts. Walk to local neighborhood shopping, restaurants, coffee shops. Garden Hills is known for that small town feel in the big city!

Buckhead isn't one market — it's a dozen small ones. High-rise living near Lenox and Phipps, quiet estate streets off West Paces Ferry, or somewhere in between — each pocket has its own price range and feel.
